Seems like down here it’s going to be rate dependent and that additional elevation just on the bypass is paying off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Whitening everything up now, trees and areas that still had snow like my back deck might be getting close to a half inch on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was also an area that did well last storm. That little additional elevation making the difference then and now. Looked like Mt Ida was getting clocked too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 The trough on the Euro is impressive but you can see the lack of cold air in Canada because with a trough that deep temps should be much colder. I really dont see a storm but I see a great indicator of some good flow snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Slacked back off, these bands come and go, was right on my 1/2” guess. Just measured that on the compacted snow on the porch and what was on my hemlock branches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 NWS GSP having fun this afternoon... Quote .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 1246 PM EST Monday...Sometimes in this business, you have to know when to throw in the towel when the atmosphere refuses to cooperate with the forecast. This is one of those times when a mid-course correction is required. Will dramatically increase precip probs into the likely range for the afternoon and into the early evening based on observations and radar trends upstream as this system is making a mockery of the previous forecast guidance. Fortunately, we are talking about a high probability of low precip amounts, because temps across the higher terrain should allow the precip to fall as light snow in many places. For the moment, it appears that temps and low QPF will keep the potential for snow accumulation below the threshold at which we would consider a Winter Wx Advisory, so none will be issued...yet...altho we continue to monitor. Temps will also not make it as warm as expected now that light precip either reaching the ground or evaporating aloft covers the fcst area. Have cut a category off the high temp. We will address the problems again in two hours. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
