Where's our Winter Storm Warning??? Ugh. About 500 ft away from a WSW. Second time this has happened this season. Wonder if we won't get one this season
"The Banana High -- one of 1st things I learned in synoptic forecasting classes @psumeteo 40 years ago! If arctic high pressure extends to east as well as south, curving around a low pressure system, that can produce a long swath of snow, which this storm will have.❄️ "
Around here with temperatures under 10 degrees, the snow is quite light and likes to blow around in such a way many of you have probably not witnessed before if you live in New England.
We been seeing a lot of high ratio fluff type snows in recent years down to the coast here. Best type when you can use a broom to clear the snow. . I remember many events of 15:1 or 20:1 ratios here past 5 yrs. January 2017 had 3 events.
Getting really worried here in Western Maryland. Noaa.org has us getting .4-.5 inches of ice.......which would be very, very, bad. They seem to think the temps won't break freezing Saturday night, then plunge with the arctic air on Sunday.
Weather.com has us in the 5-8 snow........then 1 inch or rain overnight warming to mid-30s, then the flash freeze.
Models getting rid of "low level cold" too fast is really bad for my city. We sit in a deep valley, cool air does get trapped, and ice events in the city limits can last hours after the ridge tops have switched to rain.
