Is there a significant "overrunning" moisture/snow event possibly in the offing for next week? . . .

Obviously it looks like we won't get much snow tomorrow. I was just curious if the scenario is similar at all.

Thank you!<br /><br />JBJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465811501000927918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-1939293313316430412013-12-01T13:31:14.750-08:002013-12-01T13:31:14.750-08:00Thanks for the update.

The second order physicist keeps whispering something about Coriolis forces and long fetch. But shouldn't we see at least some component to the flow vector that is parallel to the gradient?singliarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920230430150498611noreply@blogger.com
