EastCoast NPZ Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Lots of damage done to the snow out here today. Significnant patches of bare ground now. After that quick late morning drop, the temps are only slowly dropping. Down to 28.4F. We may have reached that point already when the sun just can't be overcome. I can't think of many things more depressing than seeing bare ground emerging from the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Classic pre frontal warmup, this was something only the Washington Metropolitan Region can do so masterfully. Progged high of 44 degrees. Give warm air an inch she takes a mile and then some. We spiked at 55 degrees. Lost 60 percent of our sparse snowpack in a very short time, Fropa hit, strong winds from north is cooling things down now but snow is still melting furiously. South facing regions never had a chance in hell. Only places facing north and with shade barely managed to survive todays heat wave. Couple days of cool refreshing respite then in comes a major warming trend, mild spring air with cutters and heavy rain. We'll lose all our leftover snow AND the piles too, AND the ground will thaw out 100 percent. Get your hip waders on. Lawns will turn into a quagmire. Too bad we have to go thru the entire exhausting process all over again in order to maybe get some snow sometime next month - maybe. The one thing that's really getting me down is how much those damn roads warm up, and then we barely manage to get them white again next month IF we can get rates. Sometimes I wish I lived in Wisconsin. Those fortunate folks have had blowing snow for weeks and weeks and weeks. They are going to get even more with the pattern change. That cutter that is gonna destroy Illinois is gonna smash Wisconsin into oblivion with a deep blanket of fresh dendrites. We'll be playin a mean game of golf.

RDM Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 28 and dp 5, temps tanking fast. Mid teens by midnight seem reasonable. What a change tomorrow morning is going to bring from this morning. 40+ degree difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Left this house this morning, temp below freezing, with about 95% snow coverage in the yard. Get home, this afternoon, temps below freezing, 5% snow coverage. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 High of 45 at 1045 this morning, down to 23 now. Still 100% snow cover except on the driveway where it all melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Made it up to 37 here just before 10 a.m.. Now 20 with a WC of 6. Snow cover has diminished to 3.5" but rural roads got a nice cover from the blowing snow today, which froze solid when the temperature dropped.

Jebman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 We got 5 inches of powder on Tuesday. because it has been so cold, it has stayed powdery. It did settle some, down to about 3.5 inches. The last time we had 5 inches on the ground was three years ago with the psuhoffman snow. That was a 5.5 inch wet snow blockbuster that lopped off a lot of pine branches. It took us THREE YEARS to get to experience another 5 inch snow. It took us only a couple of hours on one morning with a 55 degree flash torch to lose 75 percent of the areal snowpack. This warm surge had already warmed temps up to 38 degrees at 5am. It was an outright massacre of our precious powder snowpack. This is an absolutely BRUTAL place to live if you like snow.

mattie g Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The positive news is after this it's all uphill so to speak. I love this time of year. There are plenty of chances for snow, but we're getting close to those first truly warm days of the year and the eventual climb to warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 As we approach mindnight it feels about 60 degrees colder then just 12 hours ago. Late morning temps in upper 40's to near 55 effectively felt like 60 in the sunshine. Now with temps in low 20's, 20-25mph winds and wind chills around 0.

wxmeddler Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The warmer it stays the better chance we have of less virga tomorrow Virga is about dew points not temps, and the colder the temp the more towards saturation you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
