Large temp variation to begin the day, teens, 20s, 30s,  to near 40 high ground. Very dry air,,enough so that Snowshoe was making snow at 35°+… Shady, north facing slopes held slim snow cover through the day despite temps upper 40s,,low 50s. . Temps fell off fast in some valleys at sunset(20s), high ground remained mild through midnight.

Rain to snow around 2-3am. Daytime maxes were midnight highs. As mentioned in last post. Areas like Bitt 2NW valley, yesterdays and todays max temps are big misrepresentation of the reality of the day. The warm shot lasted a total of 5 hours st this location. 9pm to 2am.  One burst after the changeover and scattered snowshowers through the day with increase activity late day. Pics are from near Bittinger, Garrett County. Just south.

Northern Cabin Mt had a wind gust of 68.7mph with the front last night.

 

Heavy burst of snow after nightfall across Garrett dropping a quick 1-2″ in spots. MVC reports as a result.

Wild temp day, and an incredible start. Overnight valleys ran into the low 20s. High Ground held 40s. A magnificent sunrise across portions of the area, with a double rainbow in the western sky as rain pushed in. This occured across Garrett County. A half hour after this sunrise, rainbows, high ground was mild and low lying cold air trapped in valleys. High valleys even. At Bitt 2NW valley I had a brief occurence of freezing rain. This gave way to straight rain but temps held 30s and briefly in the low 40s in the afternoon. At the time of this typing(6:49pm) max temp was 41 and current of 39. While likely temps will briefly surge before midnight and make the appearance of a uniform temp day in the area, it was anything but. The high ground in Wv rans 50s on strong winds, while valleys northeast held 30s, low 40s and calm. Valleys above 2500′ even. In Garrett Negro Mt once again is the border. Despite minimal elevation difference, south winds run up the west side, while east side remains in a different airmass(pics illustrate that nice) and the 3km nam did a fantastic job of nailing this. The temp detail in this model is 2nd to none. Rainfall was .5 to 1 inch Garrett, and north and less south.

Temp dam busted around 9pm at Bitt 2NW valley and fell around 2am the 19th. The 5 hour window will really give a misrepresentation of what both days were like on the max, min chart.

Day started with clouds north, clear south. Day was partly sunny. Warmer push from south warmed areas south of Garrett more than north.

Temps fell in valleys in pm hours. High ground did not.

 

3km nam did well again on temp setup hour by hour

Max temps occuring pre dawn in many areas. Strong winds. Few peaks of sun early. Mainly cloudy. Very light precip, fog at dusk.

Wind gust 45+ on Cabin Mt.

Snowfall on the season is above normal across North America, but encroachment into the lower 48 has been slow over the past 10 days and has brought that above average down. Coverage should increase in the following week. 3rd pic is observed snowfall on the season.

Day started off mainly clear. Pretty big temp inversions in the Wv mts. Teens to 30s. Se breezes through the day giving a cold feel to a good portion of the area. High cloud deck built and lowered later in the day. The morning inversions allowed Snowshoe to make snow at the base, but not on top.

3km nam performed very well. NWS forecast was fair, but still misses how the setup works.  -3 Canaan Heights +3 Bitt 2NW valley

 

Few things of interest- Southern Cabin Mt at Bald at 4350′ ran warmer, and +8 vs northern Cabin Mt. Wind direction was reading SW vs SE at Northern Cabin.

 

Not sure if Savage Mt broke 40° today. Some spots in Garret may held upper 30s.

Overcast across majority of the mts with the high Alleghenies in the fog. Temps in the upper 20s across the high Alleghenies, and snuck into the low 30s in the southern high Alleghenies late day with a little clearing while north remained cloudy. Few breaks very late in Garrett. Southern Alleghenies had a little snow, flakes about into midday. As the fog lifted, it left a nice coat of rime. As seen in pics at Snowshoe, and in Canaan cam, off on Cabin to Porte Crayon if you look close.
