Model soundings – land vs. water – February 5th, 09z

Notes:

Model forecast soundings at 09 UTC indicate that a significant portion of a sounding taken over Lake Ontario (the green contours) was associated with temperatures between -10 and -20 degrees C. This would be favorable for the development of dendritic snow crystals, and rapid snow accumulations. By contrast, the model sounding taken over land, just east of Lake Ontario, was entirely below -20 degrees C.
