Description
This image was based on the weather from 9:30 am on Thursday February 20th, 2014 - it was snowing then as well. In this case, it was trying to snow. The snow was indeed on its way to the ground but the surface visibility was not yet reduced. Technically this was an observation of snow virga but as I recall the snow did hit the ground soon after. The three bands of virga captured in this painting were probably shaped by gravity waves in the warm frontal surface aloft as opposed to lines of turbulent stratocumulus in an unstable air mass. The surface winds were nearly calm so the easterly cold conveyor belt winds were being nearly matched by the speed of the approaching low pressure area. The opposing wind generators essentially cancelled each other out. It was going to be a nice, heavy snow day.
