2.6” will be the total for today. -FZRA and a few pingers now. Snow already getting crunchy and a little compacted.
-
Yup, as expected
-
2.6” now. Changeover is imminent. Very icy rimed flakes.
-
Matches my measurement well. Going to measure again when we start to mix.
-
Back home and 2.4” on the snowboard. Absolutely pounding right now. The drive home from our friends house was dicey. All that pretreatment didn’t seem to do much.
-
Still small flakes in Columbia but snowing more heavily
-
At a friends house so can’t measure on the snowboard yet, but eyeballing close to 1”.
-
-
Haven’t measured, but a few tenths probably by eye.
-
Steady light snow. Very pretty. Roofs, mulch, and paved surfaces whitening.
-
First flakes in Columbia
-
Our for a Jebwalk waiting on first flakes. 25/11

It’s essentially showing how similarly the various hydrometeors (precipitation) are reflecting radar energy back to the radar. When it’s a uniform red color, they all are quite similar. Right now, that means all snow. Later, you’ll see a bright yellow and green line cutting through. That’s where there’s a lot of mixing and different types of precipitation droplets/particles.

2-3:1. But sleet into a snow layer doesn’t immediately add much because it’s just sort of cratering into it and compacting the snow.

We got the green blob going for us
-
You’re that much farther NW so I think that’s reasonable.
-
Dang, you’re more optimistic than I and I thought I was weenieing out a bit. I was thinking 2” was a solid bar to clear.

No climate impact expected from Hunga Tonga
-
Love waking up and getting a hard NAMing
-
@RaleighWx was going with D-1” of snow and sleet for them, so that looks right on.

Snow and sleet at my sisters house in Cary, NC. They have a roof/mulch dusting. Never was pure snow she said.
-
12/0 now. Got down to 10.6 earlier. Coldest in a long damn time. Crazy to think it will be raining in 12-14 hours.
-
16/1. Close to coldest of the year.
