12/17/18 Disco/Obs - Rain/Wind Event


Weather Will

Recommended Posts

The LWX disco suggested significant upslope accumulation for the west slopes of Alleghenys, but mostly due to very cold air in the dendritic growth zone producing very high ratio snow.

What I am seeing looks more like graupel, or dipping dots ice cream.  That suggests there is a warm layer in there somewhere the models have missed.  That is going to need to mix out quickly if we are going to reach even the WSW criteria out here.

26.9 / 23.0 (and slowly falling all day) 2595’

Interesting ob, thanks for sharing.  25.6 at 2809’ but unfortunately I’m home in VA.

Enjoy the snow, even if it’s less than WSW criteria.
