It was this really cold air that came from the arctic. While most arctic air is significantly modified before it comes here, this air was less so, and by the time the moisture got here, temperatures were in the low to mid 20s and stayed there for the majority of the duration of the storm (even as temperatures warmed aloft and caused some freezing rain)Charlie Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00714553915658896340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-33709379786758955962009-12-03T08:06:34.842-08:002009-12-03T08:06:34.842-08:00Cliff, Can you explain the difference in setup bet...Cliff, Can you explain the difference in setup between the cold snap we are about to experience and the snows of last december. I am guessing the moisture last december came down from alaksa and was colder and didn't cause a switch over to rain.
