The Iceman Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Up to 30F here...likely going to be the high today. Dew point at 4F right now. We are going to see at minimum a hour or two of virga at least before the atmosphere moistens up enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Winter Storm Warning just hoisted here for 5"-7" of snow. A Winter Weather Advisory was issued earlier for 2"-4" of snow so amounts have certainly increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Currently 20F here at 6 pm, made it to 31F today. Probably some clouds drifting in but I haven't been out for a while as I'm trying to get some work done, so I can afford to be awake tonight for a while and do some snow anticipation and enjoyment activities later on and tomorrow ...

Birds~69 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just now, KamuSnow said: So it would seem! Radar looks pretty impressive to our south and southeast - looks like lots of moisture starting to come in off the ocean. I expected more virga so that's good there wasn't much. Cape May is golden. It's us folks to the west who may have to sweat it out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Virga is knocking on the door of the Skook. Current temp is 17. I'm not staying up for first flakes though, so my next ob will likely be in the pre-dawn/dawn timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 RGEM is a beaut for the area. matches up perfectly with current warnings and advisories. all would verify likely. matches up nearly perfect with current radar as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 You can see the moisture being drawn up from the south thanks to the arctic front that is moving east (from GOES 16) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
