donsutherland1 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 On Twitter, there has been a proliferation of 10:1 snow maps. During March, ratios tend to be lower than 10:1. As a very rough approximation, below is some data for Philadelphia's March snowfalls (precipitation of 0.10" or above) from 1950-2022 based on daily mean temperature. The kind of hourly data needed for a finer analysis is not available. Smaller precipitation amounts e.g., 0.01", can lead to skewed outcomes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta rely on dynamics and that's a tough game to play. thats why you cant be too optimistic about this period, everything is down to nowcasting rain snow lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. This approximation doesn’t consider conditions in the snow growth zone. Winter snow growth is usually better resulting in higher ratios. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a handy way of using surface temps to try and predict snowfall amounts lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was to illustrate that in March, one should be cautious about using 10:1 maps. To illustrate my point about winters and somewhat higher ratios, for January, 10:1 or above ratios for 32° or below temperatures in NYC occurred 46% of the time and 12:1 or above ratios occurred 25% of the time. 15:1 or above ratios occurred 13.5% of the time, just slightly below the frequency of 12:1 ratios for March. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
