It's been snowing pretty hard here for a bit now.
Good upslope flow ripping it out right over us.... everyone's favorite radar picture. The standing wave of orographic lift.
Just think, the ski areas and snowmobilers need it more than you do. Should help you sleep at night MPM .
Total weenie run but I do like when the gradient is around us here. The chances for suppression in this pattern seems real low.
Really happy for the Tamarack, Dryslot, Lava Rock, OceanSt, etc crew... the GYX region seems like it hasn't had a good solid win yet this season despite events NW or south of them.
And the ones with widespread 8-13” for Dendrite’s area?
Glad I sold them and went 3-6” up here. The snow maps had 5-10” but we know how it goes with mid level warmth. The mixed precip is always closer than you think.
BTV CWA with some big ice in NNY... 1” ice is no joke:
“A wide range of precip has fallen so far with the most significant icing across the SLV where, KMSS is reporting 0.86 and ground truth from airport officials are estimating near 1.0 of ice.”
4” of the densest white material you’ll ever see. Has to be 5:1 ratios of this sleet/snow mixture.
Has the appeal of a much larger winter storm based on the plow piles. Probably 0.8” water in 4” of accumulation.
Big aggregates mixed with IP now.
This stuff will be around for a while... true man pack stuff.
Always go warmer mid-level temps in these and toss the snow maps. There are always those warm layers the models don’t extrapolate in those graphics.
After some sleet and freezing rain it’s back to snow up here for the moment.
At least it looks like winter again and the grass was completely buried again at home from the bare spots that opened up.
Looks like an interesting system... I think we could get 3-5” of snow/sleet up this way. Dense stuff and good upslope signal on Wednesday to follow it up.
Not much precip at all for NNE on that 00z NAM. Don't want it if it isn't going to be snow.
Might make sense with that high building in and the low levels have some dry air advecting in from here to Dryslot.
