There’s a way to do it, I’ve done it with this new update but I can’t remember how.

But why for the first time in 15-20 years is it suddenly much more difficult to have access to local radars? Why now? Does this make sense? I just realized there was a severe thunderstorm warning for my area after the fact that I would have known about sooner by seeing my county warned on the CHS radar site. (My TV isn't on). What's going on? I used to watch my local radar all the time, but now we can't for whatever reason.

This was a great site, but the radars have not updated in hours and hours...

Ridge II is what happened.


Code: 
The default radar display layer for RIDGE II is a national mosaic. A radar national mosaic allows for redundant areal coverage for many areas, potentially filling in coverage gaps at times when a particular radar is offline for maintenance. With the RIDGE II webpage, users will no longer see the “No Radar Data is Available for this Area” notification when a radar is offline. Additionally, the expansive national view on the RIDGE II webpage provides the ability to zoom-in, zoom-out, and also localize to a particular radar on the same map, removing the need for individual web pages dedicated to each individual WSR-88D Radar

Yeah but thats because most people on here have seen squat this winter. When you see 1-3" over and over it gets old. Central Indiana generally has very boring winters with not as much snow as you may think. Lots of very small events here, but rarely anything more than 3".

its all dependent on where you live. I was getting sick of dusting to 1 inch events where as someone from Atlanta would think it’s great having many little snow events in a single winter. 3 inch events are always great to me. I was a little bummed with this one at first just because I knew how much snow was being wasted with sleet even with really cold temps. The last 2 hours of snow filling back in made this a really good event for here though. I haven’t did a final measurement but I know it’s easily 4 plus inches of sleet and snow.

I almost thought I heard a slight rumble of thunder or two during the sleet storm.

Pushing 3 years without getting a 1inch snowfall event, it’s painful, it’s tiring, it hurts

I wonder if North Carolina being by the ocean is the reason they struggle with snow so much more then the mid state. I mean they are at the same latitude basically but seems we get snow much more often. I know being further west it gets colder more often but maybe in a warming climate or period being at that latitude closer to a big body of water is really hurting NC.

Yeah but one day, that same ocean is going to be the reason why NC gets a widespread 15+ inch event. Huge source of moisture.

Houston doesn't struggle with snow and they are near the ocean.
 
olhausen said:
It does seem when NC gets a snow it’s usually a bigger one. Out here lots of nickel and dime to 1 inch events.

The same is true for further north. Philadelphia gets bigger snows than Indianapolis, but it snows more often in Indianapolis. Seems like the further west you are the more likely you are to get a true winter where its cold throughout the entire winter with frequent snows.

I think it helps the mountains and foothills, but hurts RDU eastward due to an increase in WAA.
 
OKC's high today was 4 and their avg is 55. Does that mean today's high was the equivalent of them seeing a high of 106 since 106 would be the same departure from normal ? I just can't imagine a high of 106 in OKC in Mid February.
