nj2va Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Besides it being really cold, ski conditions were actually good despite the rain/ice Friday. 3” of fresh powder the last 24 hours definitely helped. It was light to at times moderate snow all day on the runs. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George BM Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 The 6z 3km NAM shows light ZR/possible needles over much of the area tomorrow morning through midday/early afternoon hours. Just something to watch... ...I'm also aware of how well it did with temps for Wednesday of this past week. But still... something to watch assuming precip makes it far enough NW.

WxUSAF Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Low of 16.7. @WeatherShak i think it does well IMBY if it’s cloudy or when the sun’s not up. Probably mounting location plays a role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmagnet Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I was wondering about that special weather statement. Is the NAM freezing drizzle only for east of town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Low of 17 here. Mount Holly discussion of freezing drizzle potential for tonight- Some of the hi-res guidance is suggesting the resulting WAA inversion above the surface will be strong enough to produce some areas of light drizzle/freezing drizzle across the coastal plain (and especially along the immediate coast), mainly south/east of I-95 in the pre-dawn hours Monday. The DGZ will remain unsaturated during this time, so any precipitation should be mostly drizzle. Areas that remain near or below freezing would experience light freezing drizzle (mainly inland away from the immediate coast), but ground and air temperatures should remain very marginal for any widespread impacts. Long story short, given the low confidence in the occurrence of this drizzle and the marginal temperatures where the drizzle is more likely to occur near the coast, confidence is too low to warrant adding any ice accretion to the forecast and too low to issue any headlines for this threat. Nevertheless, a short- fused hazard may be realized late tonight and early Monday morning. We will continue to monitor this potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they accountanted for increasing climate change sun angle in their design The ones that are/can usually have a photosensor with compensation, radiation shield with active (fan) or combination of the two. Ultrasonic anemometers can also provide temperature output that is unaffected by sun as long as they are high enough from interference (e.g. composition asphalt shingle). But those can also be greatly affected by rime, snow, and rain so they need ancillary inputs from other sensors. These methods are rarely employed in PWS hardware due to cost, however.
