snownerd Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Is anyone else noticing lots of birds flying around ahead of the snow? Here in Sterling they are flying in random patterns with lots of chirping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanWxFreak Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 so what is the story with this dry air intrusion, seems like the models sort of missed it or didn't see it being so strong? Are we thinking this doesnt have much of an impact on us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The dry air intrusion is well modeled. Just look at the 4k nam radar loop. It's also expected with any setup like this. Don't bat an eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArlingtonWX Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Is anyone else noticing lots of birds flying around ahead of the snow? Here in Sterling they are flying in random patterns with lots of chirping. No birds, but a fox on the patio sniffing around close to the house, more brazen than usual. Maybe looking for a place to hunker down for the next day or two. No flakes yet in Arlington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Definitely has eased up in last 20 minutes, maybe 1 to 1.5 mile visibility. Easy 6+ inches on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speed6 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Is anyone else noticing lots of birds flying around ahead of the snow?

Don't bat an eye i think for us we'll be ok, but it's definitely pretty visible to the farther sw locations. and agreed, almost all the big ones have a dryslot/lull/period of blah, then it fills back in as the upper level low approaches.
