We left Lehi around 4 and it was 40 degrees outside, by the time we got to North Salt Lake at 4:30 it was foggy and 27. When we went home after the game around 9 it was amazing how fast the fog moved in.

Besides the extensive snow cover, it seems like two important factors connected to the cooling valley temp over last couple of days are the drier overlying air mass, and much weaker wind fields above the inversion. Obviously the weak wind field reduces mixing, and the dry overlying air increases radiative cooling as well as preventing any latent heat transfer into the cold pool from mixing. Also, it seems like fog is more prevalent with this somewhat warmer inversion, with less spread between ice/water saturation in this temp range.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814313368731066590noreply@blogger.com
