Looks like this week has the potential to surpass last year easily. PWC Assemble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take awhile for those snowflakes to make it to the surface. Talking hours. Not sure what that would have looked like here this afternoon, but I can say it took about an hour before the virga passing overhead made it to the ground. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys got cold ground! INSTANT CAVING! It is being fed by a strong feed straight out of the GoMex, too! All that prodigious moisture is gonnabe injected right into that Arctic Dome then fall as heavy heavy SNOW! It's comin' straight for YOU, Mid Atlantic'ers!

The models had this pretty well outlayed. Euro especially. Those wishing for a 9pm start time were in for a disappointment. Totally agree on the cold to start! Rather have instant stickage than waiting for rates to overcome. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 9 minutes ago, Maestrobjwa said: So...there are some here that don't know how to read these things. Could you be more specific? The dewpoints (the green line) in the lower levels (below 750 HP) are very very low (well negative). This is sometimes good in that it aids in evaporative cooling but it can be bad in that it eats up a lot of your QPF at the start. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snonuts? Radar will get a ring shape look to the echoes as virga overspreads the area. As the near surface layer moistens up, the ring will shrink and snow will reach the surface when it’s gone. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
