SNOW IN FL??????? EAT YOUR HEAR OUT YOU NORTHERNERS. HEHE

#1 Postby chadtm80 » Fri Jan 24, 2003 2:48 pm

NWS office and local radio staions reporting some flakes of snow falling out of the marine enhanced clouds coming off the Atlantic near Cape Canaveral and north Merritt Island.

KMLB 88D is showing some echoes as high as 12-16dBZ streaming SSW toward the space and treasure coasts.

Temps at cloud level are about -6C. This would qualify as a true "Ocean-effect" event. I hope someone up there has pictures!

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
1048 AM EST FRI JAN 24 2003

...FLURRIES OCCURRING ALONG THE COAST OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA...

THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND STRONG NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS ARE PRODUCING OCEAN EFFECT SNOW FLURRIES OFFSHORE AND ALONG THE COAST OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA...ESPECIALLY NEAR CAPE CANAVERAL. THESE FLURRIES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS BEFORE TEMPERATURES MODIFY CAUSING THE LIGHT SNOW AND
FLURRIES TO CHANGE OVER TO VERY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE. NO ACCUMULATION OF SNOW IS EXPECTED. THE LAST TIME FLURRIES WERE RECEIVED ACROSS EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA WAS IN DECEMBER OF 1989.

The snow has been falling off and on throughout the day. The flurries, which didn't stick, were described by meteorologists as ocean-effect snow, similar to the lake-effect flurries familiar to the frigid cities of Chicago and Cleveland.

I'm mad cause I never got my flurries! but hey... :roll:
They still have possible flurries for my area tonight, but there aint a cloud in the sky, so I dont see it happening..plus the NWS says we should hit freezing at around 10:00pm we will not say that when I went to check my thermo it is already 28f outside, and they insist we are 37 :?
