snow. Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Today was one of the least impressive cold snap days in memory.....Tomorrow should be the real deal, but wouldn't surprise me if DCA hits 33-34.....A week ago it really looked like today could be a -15 to -20 and it was a -7....

Ltrain Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Sitting at 25. Meddler's site which is about 2 miles north of me is at 23. I think I might hit the 22 that the HRRR is forecasting for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Read something about the dew point having a big effect on snow melt. It's proven to be true in my experience. Read it on here. The short version was a low dew point caused rapid evaporation of any melting snow and created a cool layer right over the snow that kept melting rates very low. Seems like a sound rationale. Certainly seems to hold true. Dry air has lower thermal conductivity, as a result it has lower convection coefficient than humid air. Lower convection coefficient reduces the heat transfer rate between the air and snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
