Need the baro to climb to at least 30.39 and precip to break out near TN Ugh. Sun was out through midday up my way, clouded over a bit but cleared out when the winds picked up. Nice sunset tonight behind broken clouds. Cold out now and blustery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Temp dropped from 46 to 39 between 4:30-5 p.m. when the front came through here...along, of course, with winds picking up. Also, I could swear I saw mammatus clouds at the edge of the front as it approached the Potomac. Is it possible to have mammatus clouds in this kind of frontal setup? I've only noticed them associated with severe wx in our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I just noticed my rain gauge says 1.25" I forgot about the snow/sleet/ice caked on there that melted in the last 2 days. I think I probably got 0.6" or so last night. It poured for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Very briefly hit 46 midday today. Now 29. Had a 48 mph gust at 2:30 this afternoon. 3” snow depth, the lowest it’s been since 1/31. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes -- you picked up similar cloud formations just above the treeline in your pic. I tried to catch the mammatus-like clouds (center right) trailing the edge of the front as it was passing through two hours ago. Just felt odd to me...like I said, I usually notice these sorts of formations when we have squall lines going through in warmer weather. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 6 hours ago, Deck Pic said: 19 now. Windy and cloudy so will only get down to 13. This has been a cold Feb here...about -3....But we havent really seen any super cold. It's just been persistent highs of upper 20s to mid 30s, and lows in the low 20s. And Cloudy 80-90% of the time. My lowest temp since I got here is 13. And I was only in the teens one other night. And my low max is 26. I have a shot at single digits this weekend. But only for a night or two. You’ll find that it’s cloudy out here most of the time in winter. It’s weird. You often can see the edge of the cloud deck to the south and east and it will just sit there all day.

It's been pretty frustrating especially when the deep south is buried in snow and cold. I need cold to kill cut worms in my soil. This year is going to be bad.

My wetland is as wet as I have seen for this time of year, and with no super cold air this winter, if we get a week of 50s in March(good bet) they will be doing their thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surrounded by lots of forest land that's full of creeks and marsh. I've also never seen it this waterlogged this time of year. I'm almost scared of what's coming this spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
