Now that there is another potential threat within 7 days, it might be good to break out the W-F event into a separate thread, curse be damned. @stormtracker
Ha. We can’t afford any type of amped system. We can do a nice gentle overrunning, but if this thing gets overactive it’ll flood us and we can kiss any snow goodbye.
Simply put, it the snow doesn't have the time or opportunity to melt on the way to the surface. It is generally going to be a shallow (and relatively dry) warm layer when it snows at 40.
Right on 0.50” total precip.
0.19” fell as rain
0.31” and 1.7” snow equals a nice 5.5:1 ratio when it was snowing.
The HRRR/NAM Kuchera ratios weren’t far off.
HRRR was too dry from a distance, but it nailed the front end rain and the temps.
