Yeah I was outside in tshirt and shorts prepping the bushes so they don't get squashed under the wet paste tomorrow. Definitely had a surreal moment of "and I want snow why?"

Exactly. Its early February and the sun angle isn't exceptionally high, but the sun will at least play a small factor in the afternoon when the snow stops to melt the snow a bit so the already wet snow will become even wetter and make it worse on my back to shovel.

Believe it or not it is going to be a mostly high ratio fluffy snow for us in the NW, plus cold air advecting in keeping it in the 20's tomorrow February melt should be minor. Following 24 hours quite cold just have to shovel it before Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I live and in most events I do get less snow. I don't know what causes it but I would love to have some suggestions. Probably subsidence to the west of the Monmouth County Snow Magnet.

I thought of February 2nd-3rd, 2014, but it only got up to 53F on Philly the 2nd (a Sunday), followed by 5 1/2" of snow here Monday. It's 68F here now, usually PHL is a couple of degrees warmer at least. If it were to reach 70F there, I wonder how many times that has happened with snow the next day? Edit - looks like not at all, looking at the chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shemATC Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Curious with all the various model snow maps. Since we are pushing 65/70 for much of the area, how much will melt on ground contact even if it falls as snow? 1"? 2" That's a lot of ground warmth to overcome even with high rates. So if the model map says 10", should we guess we'll probably only see 8" on the ground come mid day (obviously verification issues aside). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect some of that, and that will be the heavy stuff for shoveling. And it's all okay, no complaints here (as long as we can get heavy snow for a few hours!).
