1989 is not remembered fondly around here because we missed some big storms north and south. But there was some snow and it was damn cold. Could have been pretty epic with subtle changes. Let’s just hope we don’t get January-February 1990…
In my yard, all the accumulation was between 1030 and 1115. As soon as it lightened up after that, it melted immediately. The snow before 1030 helped cool the surface and the air temp enough. So I was down to 33-33.5 or so when it accumulated.
Down to freezing, nice! Looks like you're already on the board for something measurable (although I know you only measure if it's more than like 4" or something...)
When it was more of a Black Friday threat, we had more time to get a cold airmass in place. Now it’s only like 24-36 hours behind the weak cold front next Tuesday.
