Regarding this storm, through about 2 PM Thursday looks like when roads will be the worst but yeah once the snow intensity lessens roads should improve during peak daylight. Of course sleet does not melt as quick on roads so that is a different story. I know some like seeing snow during daylight but this would be a much better overnight storm IMO....really much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Does the HREF only run once a day? let’s just hope some of the mesos are accurate with the fgen My final call for Philly: 3-5” with a light crust on it by the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting snow in before dawn is key to offsetting sun angle. If we can lay done some cover early it makes a world of difference 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Are we using this thread for OBS or should someone start a new thread for that? Anyway we have clear skies here in Hopewell and temps are dropping like a rock. Temp is already down to 24 here and the forecasted low is 22. Seems like we are going to get down into the teens unless we cloud up soon. Anyone else radiating down temp wise this evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar radiation always exists. It’s not about the sun angle at this point. If you have low rates in the middle of the day solar radiation will always do a number on snow accumulations in dark surfaces 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez We were on the same page, appreciate you explaining what I meant when I posted the 18z nam map earlier. I don't see an early flip though either unless like you said rates let up. I think we snow HARD from 9 am - noon. I'm thinking this one will be a pleasant surprise for most and the thump will out do any changeover woes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Down to the forecasted low of 21 already. Are temps supposed to rise overnight? Seems like it's a bit colder than anticipated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I know it's the HRRR but it has the mix line way south of PHL, down at the jersey shore at 18z and still snowing hard. Very interesting! Edit: Like @hazwoper and I were discussing above, changeover to sleet along 95 doesn't occur until rates lighten. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
