Yes, that’s what he’s saying…he thinks you would have needed 4-6 inch per hr rates. Cuz the ground was warm, and March sun. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Snow 1717 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 1 minute ago, WinterWolf said: Yes, that was a cold storm…But that doesn’t matter. October 2011 was 30-32 for alot of it. Just yesterday it was around 30 too in a lot of areas. 1997 same thing. It’s all about the rates. Doesn’t matter what time of day either. it was 37 at my home when it began to snow....big difference from being 30-32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 4 minutes ago, Great Snow 1717 said: As I mentioned it would have accumulated if it was snowing heavily.....but with that said the accumulation would still have been impacted by the air temp and the ground temp. Ground temp won't matter much with rates...and not uber heavy stuff either. The melting will help cool it to near 32. Now obviously a cold late season storm will help keep ground temps cooler.

WinterWolf Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Lmao…just take the loss. This isn’t about exercise or lifestyle. It’s about how snow accumulates proficiently even with sun angle and warm ground working against it, during moderate to heavy rates…1”/hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't have much if any snow at that temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to explain the melting snow will latently cool the surface… so snow will quickly accumulate once that happens, if the rates are there.

dryslot Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 What was interesting is that snow was of the sticky variety yesterday, And when the temps fell to 18°F over night, The top 5.5" was powder this am with the last half inch being a crust so it sublimated rather quick today even with the limited sun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I've known far too many people who have gotten into trouble and had their lives ruined because they were shitfaced far too many times. I know of some real tragic situations. Including one suicide... Edit: make it 2 suicides...I just recalled a former neighbor who climbed a factory chimney and then jumped off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 43 minutes ago, WinterWolf said: The great April blizzard of 82….snowed all day during the day. It doesn’t matter if the day before was literally 80 degrees…or the sun angle nonsense, we’ve proven this time and time again. The rates are all you need. April, May, October..it doesn’t matter at all. 4/1/97 was a better example of rate-beats-warm-ground. 4/6-7/82 is probably the Northeast's coldest April blizzard in the past 150+ years. Temps for the much lesser storm in 4/2016 were also well below 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Ground temperatures get way too much credit. The ground is not water, the temperature of the ground can adjust very quickly to air temperature and can be heavily influenced by precipitation. If the air temperature is 38 and the ground temperature is the same or whatever and you have heavy precipitation falling, and in this case snow, both temperatures will adjust quickly. Will it impede some accumulation? Certainly...but it is going to be a very insignificant amount of accumulation it impedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowcrazed71 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 1 hour ago, CoastalWx said: I love ground is too warm arguments. Keep them coming. Nom Nom Nom Nom. Just like that blizzard we had in 1982 in early April. I think the temp stepped into the twenties and snow accumulated all around the tri-state area if I recall. So yes, it will stick if it's snowing hard enough and the temperatures are below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a cery cold storm…lost nothing to latent cooling in that one. But as Tanarac said, 4/1/97 was even a better example, no where near as cold an airmass, but it didn’t matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed 100%…just used it to show the sun angle idea. 4/1/97 was a better example for sure. 10/2011 another great one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
