What is it with all this snow?!?!?!

Well, Thursday night into Friday's snow fall accumulation was as bad as expected. I don't have exact snow fall totals, but I think Wednesday was ickier than Friday.

Yesterday's weather conditions were fair. We experienced some light snow fall in the am, with no snowfall accumulation reported. Yesterday's high was 36F, with winds coming from the WNW around 16 mph with gusting around 19 mph.

However, I can't say that today's weather conditions are as nice as yesterday's. Today we are experiencing another winter storm...boooooo! It's really nasty outside! Today's high 41F. The current temperature is at 31F, but feels like 21F. Humidity is at 88%, with a dew point of 27F. We can see that there is a very low dew point depression today. The barometer reading is at 29.53 inches. Taking a look at the surface map below we can see low pressure systems located all throughout the Midwest and west, with high pressure systems in the east. The low pressure system located in the center of the states is causing the winter storm we're experiencing today.

 Today's wind is coming from the E around 13 mph. These E winds are bring in a lot of warm, moist air from the ocean causing the precipitation and overcast conditions.

I provided a Doppler radar map to show areas experiencing precipitation, as well as the type of precipitation.





The snow is supposed to tapper of around 1:00 pm this afternoon turning into rain after that. Total snowfall accumulation for today is expected to be about 1 to 2 inches. I personally think we have more than that already.

Tonight's forecast call for rain and thunderstorms before midnight with winds shifting to the southeast. After midnight winds are expected to shift to the southwest. This shift in winds should produce dry conditions for tomorrow.
