So far its been like arctic sand....but we're near 2 inches. So it's nice to see everything covered. Hoping to get a 2" per hour burst for a while at some point. The snow ratios was another part of this event that kind of fell apart in recent runs. A few days ago forecast soundings were showing a deep DGZ, but now the warm nose is warm enough that it splits the DGZ into low level cold and upper levels above 600 mb. Not a great way to run 20:1 stuff. So this early frontogenesis stuff is probably going to be the best ratios of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the coldest observations you will ever see heading into a decent snow event. cant recall any event that ive ever been in where we start with temps of -20C and end up with more than 16 or 18 inches of snow....a distinct possibility here, which would be a stunning turn of events to say the least. perhaps someone else can chime in with something similar? dendrite? anyone? still holding at a refreshing -8F here.

ORH_wxman Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 00z NAM is already getting its ass handed to it on the 2m temps north of the pike...it's doing fine south of the pike so far, but we'll see if that lasts. It had ORH at 27 right now, ASH at 26F, and PSM at 30F. Ray was supposed to be 28F. Having trouble resolving that cold drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Ray, the brine solution they typically use to pretreat roads before a storm drops the freezing point of the water to about 18F....so it starts losing its effectiveness at that temp. Then they have to use more straight salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 HRRR looks closest to capturing this CAD drain, but it's still too warm near the Seacoast. Looks like ballpark 3-4 degrees off for PSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
