powderfreak Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 24 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said: Yeah, our CAD on a regional level is probably the strongest of anywhere in the country due to the geography/topography...so it builds up into the lower mid-levels pretty frequently. That can make those ptype rules based on the Midwest and plains misleading. I have given presentations on icing in New England and I often tell everyone that you have to throw out the old "valleys are the last to see ZR change to rain" rules that others areas of the country are so used to. That New England has the elevation icing events because our soundings so frequently will have normal cooling lapse rates up to about 2000 feet in many of our events. Not all of them of course, but I'd say in an overwhelming majority of them the icing is actually more intense at elevations between 1000-2000 feet than lower down. Then you can apply this observation to sleet events too...we can get sleet events with warm layers much warmer than the popular +3C cutoff due to our deeper cold inversions. It really is not an easy place to forecast mixed, transition, or icing events if you are not already quite familiar with the local climo and how the topography affects it...as you said, the models fail so often in diagnosing the ptypes in our region because they can't resolve the CAD in both magnitude and depth...almost always underestimating both. Yeah and if you want to take it a step further, over this way it's about 3,000-3,500ft elevation that always seems to be ground zero in low level cold. Maybe it's just a micro-climate of the east slope, but 3,000ft will be the last to warm up....often extending up to 4,000ft too. Like it's still 22-25F in the 3-4kft column on Mansfield's east side right now. That's also why I think that area preserves snow so well and it's very hard to get that to melt and why the COOP can build ridiculous snow depths. Throw in a strong SE flow and upslope cooling and around these parts, that's always the last elevation to go above freezing. I wonder if it's the same further SE into Dendrites area? Where's the max cold layer? Part of me thinks it's lower down that way while up this way it always seems to be mid-Slope to summits that are impossible to dislodge and warm up.

#NoPoles Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hope y'all got to watch the marathon. Gotta give mad props to all those runners. USA and Japan, women and men's winners! I wonder who selected the clothing for the Kenyans and Ethiopians. They basically were put in parachute type rain jackets which created so much wind resistance.

I swear we used to have a page at Plym where we saved all of our raw RAOB data. I can't seem to find it now though. Chances are there was no launch today anyway.
