amarshall Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 In the weird world of Southern plymouth County weather it's icing pretty badly right now. Rt 3 is a warzone with cars off the road everywhere. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it is just a model forecast, and not necessarily reality, but the latest RAP shows that all the lift is actually very shallow. So even though you have some temps -8 to -10C that are saturated, there is not lift in that zone to generate ice crystals. Where there is lift, it is a little too warm and too shallow for good crystal growth. Hence FZRA/DZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was really shallow too, But there was plenty of precip being generated. definitely a model fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saturated layer was from like 1500 ft to 3000 ft. So despite having pretty cold temps in that layer (-10 to -13C), if the lift was garbage you aren't going to get much snow out of that. There was a seeder-feeder hope with cirrus about the low clouds, but it's 10,000 ft higher than the stratus and racing east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, lousy lift and maybe a bit warmer. Cloud physics b*tch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
