Gives plenty of time to clear the roads for Monday work. Saturday morning no less. The weather gods are with you on this one Voyager. I'm sitting at a beautiful 43 degrees. Official totals from yesterday are .58" liquid and .1" snow/sleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely a byproduct of the slp being a tad SE of 6z and precip panels adjusted accordingly. This is why I look at the snow panels as they show a rough blend of thermal profiles, precip and even forcing in frozen and non frozen varieties. Not for the perty colors. Really wouldnt take much to get us in the game down here. Gonna be close either way. I thought the 12Z GFS was an improvement vs. 6Z and the 12Z CMC was an improvement vs. 0Z. GFS looks to be the furthest west of models right now. Guess I'll invest emotionally one last time this winter! Let's do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sitting at a beautiful 43 degrees. Official totals from yesterday are .58" liquid and .1" snow/sleet. @Itstrainingtime Sorry I didn't get to post my storm totals from yesterday. It actually was pretty interesting in that I had a ton of liquid, none of which was rain, but not that much snow either. Total liquid (melted) was 0.47". Total snow was 0.8". It really was more than that but it kept melting as it was hitting the board. Temp was close to 33 degrees for nearly the whole event except the final hour or so when it rose to 34 and eventually to 35. For being such a wet snow you'd think it would have stuck to everything, but most of the trees had very little stuck on them except the evergreens. The snow to liquid ratio came out to a ridiculous 0.6:1 which I don't think I've ever measured from an all-snow event before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, with the GFS, you needed to zoom in to call it an improvement, but when on the weather fence, one has to do such things to get their precious snow.... That's me being a full blown starved snow hound tho. No fogged glasses, just searchin for scraps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I suggested Slushballs... 18z NAM?? from evening prior went NW w/ best precip and that sent up my caution flag. Seems like as soon as 1 does that, the NW thingy ends up verifying.. It seems to be the LSV's Kryptonite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tells me that my biggest issue yesterday was indeed the temp. (some might say that more precip would have lowered my temp further, but I had the QPF) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tells me that my biggest issue yesterday was indeed the temp. (some might say that more precip would have lowered my temp further, but I had the QPF) Yeah I completely agree with your take from yesterday about temps being the primary issue for us. I had multiple periods where the snow was moderate to downright heavy and it just couldn't get any traction on the surfaces, even mulch and decks and whatnot. I never dropped below 35 throughout the event. Over a half inch of QPF producing .1" of accumulated frozen pretty much tells the story haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
