Snow on Satellite

| December 12, 2008 @ 8:21 am | Reply

Here are two pictures from the visible satellite view of the Southeast this morning. Both pictures are the same, but I have annotated the second one to show the two main areas of snow that fell yesterday. This weather system was both typical and non-typical. It was typical in that the area of snow was a relatively narrow band which is fairly common in winter weather situations for the Southeast.

It was not so typical in the way the system created a discontinuous band of snow.

Just another great example of how difficult it is to forecast snow in this part of the country.
