Scott Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Latitude matters. For Santa Fe, it's more of a matter of topography than latitude. Santa Fe isn't as prone to radiative cooling as some areas. Just to east of Santa Fe and at a similar elevation, Tererro, for example has recorded temperatures as low as -35. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Hole Posted January 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Upward trend in precipitation on models for the storm tomorrow night-Sunday.

Maybe a skiff of snow on Monday but otherwise quite boring over the next 7-10 days.

Kayla Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 So windy! The wind has been relentless these last couple of days. Only difference today was that it was accompanied by colder temps so the drifting has been worse. We now have plenty of 4 foot drifts out in the yard. Also had a nice little snow squall move through this morning that dropped a quick inch or so that just blew everywhere. Looks like after tomorrow we warm up and stay in the 40's through the rest of the week. Pretty boring weather coming up.

Front Ranger Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 WWA issued for 2-5" tomorrow. This has a chance to be my second biggest storm of the season to date (will need to beat the 4" storm from mid October), but unlikely to beat the 7" I saw in early November. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

TT-SEA Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Well, to be fair, from late February on sunshine is much more effective at melting snow. To be fair... we had about 6 inches of graupel in that storm (not fluffy snow) which did manage to survive the next day with a 47.4 degree sun angle and a low dewpoint. I actually wish it had not happened. I have spent hours trying to explain something that nature actually did... because it did happen. I wanted it to melt instantly.

Black Hole Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Tomorrow evening may see an early transition to snow (graupel perhaps) to due very heavy convection near the front. HRRR showing the temperature plummeting from the mid 40s to 33F in about an hour near me. Also shows about .7" of precipitation falling as snow near 33F or so. Could be several inches of wet snow in that case.

Kayla Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Looks like our snow drought is finally coming to end. It has stayed cold here for the most part under an inversion so still plenty of snow out there but it sure is dirty looking. We should see a couple of inches of snow tomorrow into Friday with more over the weekend. It looks like we could see a pretty strong storm Sunday night into Monday and again Wednesday. 12z ECMWF shows about 20-25" in Bozeman over the next 10 days so it appears the snow machine is finally turning back on.
