heavy_wx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I measured just over 4" of snow here in North Bethesda with moderate snow falling currently. The aggregates are mostly compact indicating less than optimal snow growth at temperatures > -10C and possibly some riming. I did see a few dendrites mixed in so there is still some growth occurring at temperatures < -12C. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal. yep that is why my job moved me up here because of a much lower chance of losing power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherShak Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 People seemed so focused on the snow that this is getting ignored. Hopefully the models are wrong, but that could be very bad.Yup. I don’t have 10 gallons of kerosene, two generators and a cord of wood for 6 inches of snow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's that after the flip and not freezing rain!

heavy_wx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just now, Terpeast said: You could be right, it was dark and hard to tell. Just saw those things bounce off my hand There is likely some partial melting of the aggregates, ahead of the more visible reduction in correlation coefficient, causing the ice particles at the surface to become more compact. A mix of fully melted liquid drops and partially melted ice particles is typically needed to produce the observed reductions in correlation coefficient within the melting layer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
