Pretty much blizzard conditions here the past hour.

This is impressive. 

 

Congrats--I thought I saw some flakes but it could have been other stuff blowing around.

Nice little upslope response on the backside of this.  Crazy how it went from a 40F with showers type day to all the sudden 20s and snowing sideways for the past couple hours.

Pics or it didn't happen. Actually, I totally believe you...just need some snow here soon.

Does anyone know what equation this is?  I know Ws is saturation mixing ratio, T is temperature, theta is potential temp., and Cp is constant pressure.  Don’t know what L is tough.

C_p is specific heat capacity at constant pressure, in units of joules/(kg*C degrees).

L is the latent heat capacity, units of J/kg.

L/T = C_p under isobaric conditions so you're just substituting.

Thanks!  ughh this I ALWAYS seem to forget.  It's specific heat capacity AT constant pressure...not just constant pressure.
