Fresh (ie. still fluffy) snow is way more effective at longwave radiation emission than hardpack snow.

lots of subtleties with snowcover. New snowpack is highly insulating because of air pockets, which means lower skin temps than old snowpack due to less heat draw from the soil. Older snowpack is radiatively similar to wet soil but with higher albedo. 

Interesting stuff. Thanks, folks!

Is it possible that snowshoe summit is 20 degrees and Elkins airport at 2000' is -12.  Crazy inversion if so

It said 20 this morning I assume it’s broken. Virginia Tech’s weather stations are reporting -6 or less in the higher elevations.

edit: +20, not negative. That would be nuts.
