rduwx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It'd be nice to get a snowstorm to start during the daylight hours. I can't remember the last time I was in a snowstorm during daylight hours. Probably 3/1993 blizzard in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the last time I was in a snowstorm during daylight hours. Probably 3/1993 blizzard in Atlanta. I know. I was thinking the same exact thing. It just never seems to snow in the daylight anymore. I guess that's been good, though, since the temps have been so marginal with most of our most recent "events".

superjames1992 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 1/29-30/2010 started in the daylight here (like 5 PM). The Christmas/Boxing Day Storm started at 1 PM, as well, and continued until the following morning. Actually, the December 2009 storm started at around 1 PM, as well (as did the March 2010 storm), though it was a bit uneven and didn't really get going until the evening. Wasn't the early December 2010 storm during the day? My favorite time for snow is actually the late afternoon, just before sunset. It's still light enough that you can actually see the snow, but the sun is low enough in the sky that the sun angle isn't killing you. If I have to choose between a day snow and a night snow, I'll take the night every time, though. I like to see the snow, but I'm an accumulation weenie and I don't want the sun angle destroying accumulations (especially since every damn snowstorm as of late seems to be in marginal BL temperatures).

I can't remember the last time I was in a snowstorm during daylight hours. Probably 3/1993 blizzard in Atlanta. I remember some around this area and RDU area. But why? Most of time snowfall durring the daylight hours in the piedmont don't work out. Unless you get a storm with very good snow rates. But those are hard to come by. I've seen it start snowing in the mornings and it will snow all day(lightly) just to have a wet ground by the time the clouds clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I wish we would get a 3-5 day arctic outbreak -- enough to freeze the ground. On the 4th or 5th day, I wish the Sun would set with clear skies. Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, I wish the clouds from an impending snowstorm would roll in, allowing for really good radiational cooling beforehand. Then, just after dawn, I wish the snow would begin to fall, steadily increasing in intensity throughout the day. After snowing heavily throughout the afternoon hours, it would be fine to diminish to a moderate intensity, where it would remain, overnight. The following morning would feature moderate snow, tapering to light snow and then flurries by the late afternoon. Then, overnight, the flurries would continue until daybreak, and then depart, leaving a completely cloudy day in their wake. Following the storm would be another multi-day stretch of cold weather with occasional cloud cover and very little melting. I wish it would happen that way and that we knew several days beforehand that it was coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still would like to see the set up and teleconnections for that storm. Was it southern stream, NAO/PNA? etc. By the way, I can't believe that was 10 years ago.....I think that's the last time CLT had over 4 inch storm.

I am the opposite, to me its the snow falling I love the most I want intenses rates and big flakes and I want them during the day. I dont care if we end up with only 8 " instead of 10" due to sun angle I want to see the snow without having to look at streetlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I wish it would dump 3 inches of sleet followed by clear skies and 20 degrees for a 12 hour period. Then warm quickly to 40 degrees so i can comfortably sled down my street again for the full 1/4 mile run to the bottom of the hill. I'm too old for snowmen. Just bring me some kick azz sledding!

Yeah there are many that have happened during the day. Not a huge storm but last February wasn't that bad. I went to the gym expecting a slow changeover and what not, came out to feathers falling out of the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezing rain begins to fall and coats the snow and everything else with a 1/2" glaze. Temps plummet before day break and the damage is done. At least that's what happened here... http://www.daculaweather.com/4_georgia_winter_storm_010911.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that comes to mind for my day snow dreams was Jan 88.

FLweather Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well atleast is cold. When a storm does pop up it will be cold enough for something to stick. Positive aspect is I think the models might be unsure about the front swinging through 1/25 since that engery is over the ocean south of Alaska atm-may trend wetter. Another positive thing Euro shows a coastal forming 120 hours out and has DGEX for support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
