Sundog Weather

The Mid-Atlantic Blizzard of January 2016 was a very unpredictable and impactful storm. Due to the numerical models utterly failing to forecast the Northern impact area, dopplar radar remained the best forecasting tool as the storm continued to worsen.

During this Blizzard, mesoscale banding led to dramatic gradients in Snowfall Accumulations across Chester County. Overall, we found that radar products were the most helpful in determining the worst impacted areas.
