My home cam looks like maybe some flakes mixing in but I can hear the sounds of sleet. There’s a lot of precipitation still out to the west so if it flips to snow it could be much nicer to return home to everything covered up as opposed to just ice
Glad to see more folks have snow cover. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. I think we will fight for every inch the next week or so but then I think we get there and get a real stretch of winter at the coldest part of the year.
If you change your forecasting technique to simply predict whether or not there will be a severe blizzard on any given day, and say "there will not be a severe blizzard today," you will be right 99.9+ % of the time! Think of the possibilities...
19 here and the dewpoint only slightly below. It’s cold and we are going to glaze. Already a couple of degrees below the projected low and skies are still pretty clear so we will radiate some more I assume
Seems like the temps are pretty low. It is colder than forecast here by a few degrees and the sun will be down shortly. Skies are clear so there will be some rad cooling. My point being it will likely add to the pack and solidify it vs. eroding it. That's all I'm concerned about with this one.
i mean, we are in territory where the nam can lead in some situations. The fact that the gfs followed is a strong sign of at least something decent over by you. The Euro will show something at 18z probably.
probably not enough further back, but this can still develop a bit I'd think. If the trend to an earlier phase continues for another run or 2 then maybe it is cold enough for heavy wet snow in the interior.
exactly. the either-or statements aren't fact-based. A good pacific is better sometimes, and a good Atlantic at others. Also depends on where you live, as I look out my window.
