Unless there is a tent covering the temperature area then there is no reason for 5-6 degree variance for 1-7 miles away with 100% snow cover and same sky and wind conditions. What then is “trapping” the heat and preventing radiance or what is “adding ” additional heat to that site alone.?
Well right now with 100% snow cover within 15 miles of DCA its5-6 degrees warmer. Explain to me with that much deep snow cover how Any “heat island” element is existing
So much pressure was exerted over temps and snow totals post Snowmaggedon that snow totals have cleaned up and become more matching. The issue with the temps is very very likely the improper placement of the actual thermometer.
Lot of 8-10” reports Annapolis way . Ranged 6-7” here . 90% who bailed or dismissed. Atlanta toRaleigh low pressure with cold air in right place is The mechanism for snow around DC.
Wonderful to see the analog method pan out so well in discussing it while it was pending.
6” and back edge just got to me so go out soon and clean up because after dark gonna freeze up solid
11pm ob. 45.6F, 1.2 drop in last hour. That area nicely centered around Raleigh looks great . I’m hoping for centered around Richmond next and then Here !
Only possible negative is it takes too long to chill down to snow. The high has eased a little and we won’t be snow here lower than 30.00 unless low is east of our longitude. Dont need what saved us to muck us up.
Baro in Pitt unimportant. Temp there shows orientation angle of cold air push. Easy and valid historical observation but inexperienced ignorance and desire for 6 paragraph ramblings prevents factualization. Stay dumb, stay dependent
