QUOTE(telejunkie @ Nov 13 2012, 09:43 AM)  huh...meso analysis showing crit thickness levels not supporting snow here...yet proof is sitting on the grass & roofs [attachment=175935:thck.gif] I noticed that with the last storm as well.. With today behind the front, the 850mb temps support it by being below freezing and I guess there was just enough moisture following the front. But for your area I'm sure mountain slopes get more involved with creating moisture as well. In fact.. It's pretty darn impressive how cold that level is

QUOTE(LoveNYCSnow @ Nov 13 2012, 12:17 PM) From experience, I have generally found that the absolute best indicator of frozen vs non frozen precip is temps at 925 feet. The thickness lines on that chart are telling but clearly as observations contradict them, they are not absolutely accurate in determining precip type. Then again, I'm not sure if those thickness lines take into account elevation. Right... I know that they don't give you an exact answer as to precip type. I was just trying to figure out, which is the best to assist in trying to determine frozen v.s. non-frozen. So you say the 925 is the best aid to go by? |

That wouldn't mean snow..The thickness of each layer also helps determine precip type. 925 is good to confirm frozen precip but not used soley for snow. Good link to save.

And of course, yet again, the snow doesn't QUITE make it into the capital region.
WTF is it with all of this rain the past 2 years? |
