Stormlover74 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 14 minutes ago, Dark Star said: February 14, 2007 I have listed as a mix of light snow, sleet and freezing rain (maybe 1.5" total sleet snow accumulation)? My notes show that a low was forecast to move into the Great Lakes, but rather slid across southen PA. A secondary formed off the Carolinas and moved north. Heavy snow warnings posted, but warmer air worked its way into mid levels, resulting in a mixed bag. Is this correct? I think the 5.5" sleet storm occurred March 17, 2007? March was the bigger sleet event. All sleet pretty much the entire duration. VD started a bit of snow and might have had some freezing rain but was a decent amount of sleet too. I measured 3.4 in Feb and 5.9 in March I think it was the 850 low track that screwed us as the coastal track was fine and temps were very cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 A pondering question related to snow ratios: If location A measures 12 inches of snow with 0.5" SWE and location B gets 6" with 1.0" SWE, who got more snow? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 25" or 26" of snow here is a lame (but not disastrous) winter. Spinning low teens snowfall with almost no cold air into something somehow acceptable is irrational exuberance. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellice Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I have a question about last Saturday's snow. It was very light and fluffy, but it also seemed to have very high water content, melting immediately if I even lightly touched it. Not sure I could have even gathered it into a snowball before melting. I thought those qualities - the lightness/fluffiness and the high water content - were incompatible, that wet snow was always heavy snow, but clearly that isn't the case. Is this type of snow rare, or was my impression incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I still look at the models when I wake up to see if there is anything exciting on it. Not throwing in the towel yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Extreme skepticism should have been applied when a winter with zero cold air and zero snowcover across the nation is suddenly expected to turn cold/snowy for a month.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
