Beltrami Island Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 3 hours ago, hawkstwelve said: NAM and RGEM have been weakening over the past few runs. 3 hours ago, hawkstwelve said: Pretty large drop on the FV3 as well. Of course right as NWS FSD issues a WSW the models will all go down the pooper. It would certainly fit with the pattern of the last two storms where models show high amounts just 24-36 hours prior but we end up with only an inch or two. I am not sure if this statement is true, just my point of view watching weather models.... For whatever reason the medium range models, all of them, seem to consistently under estimate the ability of the western US/Canada mountains ability to remove moisture from the air column as storms move over them. As a result, for storms that move over those ranges out west that don't immediately tap into Gulf of Mexico moisture when they get to the plains, the models overdue qpf. Only when the storm is close to or across the mountains do the models finally realize (get data) about the actual lower than previously forecast moisture that is left in the atmosphere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmesnow Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 One more wave of rain. Wilmot has less snow than Alpine but it's already deteriorated a lot. Think the season is done here for the year. One more day at Cascade, gonna sneak away to Granite, then hopefully a weekend with some friends at Lutsen and then it's time for summer!

We have rain tomorrow and 68* forecast. May not make that. I know this is the Midwest section but Holy Smoke, California! 12 feet of snow and non stop rain. https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/california-atmospheric-river-flood-rain-sierra-snow-roofalanche-concerns That amount of snow is insane for Mt Hood let alone the Mountains North of LA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEKC Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 KC had a squall line of snow hit the city around 9:00-10:00pm last night. HEAVY snow with 30-40mph gusts causing very low visibility for about and hour. It left a beautiful snow covered landscape and grass scene this morning. Low temp bottomed out around 8:00am at 21 degrees for my area. I love winter scenes!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends if Wausau sees rain next week or if it ends up as snow. 3 hours to Wausau then 2 and a half to Whitecap. I might do it. Looks awfully good up there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttumwaSnomow Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 It was another extremely similar system here! Rain turned to snow. High of about 44 then with passage of front few hrs of wet snow. But the temp plummeted faster than the last 3 systems! Down to 18f this am. TOTAL FLASH FREEZE! The kind that opening car doors is a battle! .70 snow and .44 melted. 7 hours of salting and sanding! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weekend is prob one of the last times this season to see really good quality snow up there. Might be the peak in snow depth up there unless the storm next week does something interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
