1816 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Why are clouds such assholes? People: hey clouds, we need you to stay away when the sun goes down so we can drop some temp quickly and maximize this snowstorm ok? Clouds: no. <extremely thick blanket of clouds rolls in half hour before sunset> Temps: rise from 34 to 39 ----------‐‐-------------------------------------------------- People: hey clouds, we need a thick layer to come in and hold in some warmth to avoid an ugly icy mess in the morning ok? Clouds: bye. <sun sets on a cloudless sky> Temps: immediately drop from 40 to 33 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work, scientifically? For anyone that followed my questions earlier, they changed it to something that makes a lot more sense: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDClapper Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Well, 1-3" back in the interior here I suppose, maybe some surprise 4s about. It definitely is chilly tonight (27 atm). We'll see if the moisture can capitalize on it in a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDClapper Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Nice and cold up this way. Looks like onset about 8, 8:30 if that first batch survives. Most short rangers have a good 4-6 hours of snow before changing over early to mid PM. Might eek out around 2". Thats the bar for "winning" on this one for me. Less than that, no surprise, mostly expected for days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
