If any of you are put out over the changes to the NWS radar, here’s one that’s great for national radar. Radarscope’s biggest drawback is that it’s only local. This app also has temp tracking which was fun yesterday
That doesn’t line up well with surface obs. The front is just entering the western tip of Va. Jackson Ky which is a bit east of that 32 line had the front go through 4 hours ago and reported light snow in their latest ob
Hey thanks. I’ll look at that. I had found a site that was decent. Now all we have to do is hope for the SREFS to be right

Actually I think we want it to underperform there. We need that low to be sliding along as the cold comes through. If they get hit hard it means that low is too early for us.
Don’t blame you. I was skiing in NC once with temps around 5 and got to see a quad lift break down in high winds. They had to somehow throw a rope up and lower than to the ground. It took at least an hour to get them off. I can’t imagine how cold they were.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a front with this kind of temp differential roll through here. The two biggest of my life that I can remember were one in Jan of 77. I got to witness that one take temps from 50 to 8 in two hours. That’s the one that produced snow rollers. Only time in my life I’ve ever seen those. Anyone who doesn’t know what they are should look that up and then imagine them laying around literally everywhere. But the most memorable for me was the Jan 85 front. I think that front was more prolific on the west side of the mountains. I remember that about 11 pm on Saturday it rolled in with a significant line of snow squalls. The temp at onset was about 30. When I woke the next morning the temp was -9 and never reached zero that day. By Monday morning the temp was -26. Don’t think I’ll ever forget that one.
