WinstonSalemArlington Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Allan Huffman @RaleighWx · 6h For January, RDU actually averaged -0.01 F below normal For Dec/Jan so far RDU averaging -0.016 below the 30Y norm With at least the first half of Feb looking colder than normal we got a shot at having a colder than the 30Y norm met winter (12/1-2/28) Would be coldest since 14-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar looks plenty solid for a snow shower? Pretty classic virga signature from FCX. Notice how there’s nothing really showing up over Surry, Stokes and Rockingham counties but then radar returns magically appear in the counties just south of there?Well the FCX radar dome already sits about 2800’ elevation, so about 2000’ above the Triad. If you incorporate 0.5 deg tilt, the beam height over the Triad is roughly 7000’ above the ground. This reduces to about 6000’ as you move north into those VA border counties. So, this is telling us the flakes are falling, but sublimating in a dry layer between 6k-7k feet. Pretty typical with NW flows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can relate to that. Next time you feel like getting all technical and wordy, just substitute "2021" and heads will be nodding in agreement. In 2022, this would be an amazing explanation and beyond appreciated, if you catch my drift (not snow drift, we dont have those here). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstate Tiger Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Down to 32 here in Cherryville this evening. Haven’t looked back at data but anecdotally seems we’ve had lots of mornings below freezing this winter. Maybe it’s my old bones, but it sure seems like a lot of cold days, especially on the golf course since November. Little surprising for a LaNina winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
