The lake breeze really intensified again around sunset and by 2100 last evening, the airport was down to the mid/upper 40s with a NW breeze while much of the Salt Lake Valley was still in the 65-70 degree range (huge temp contrast!) It also seems like the approaching cold front kind of merged with the lake airmass and kicked it southward a bit, as the whole valley had a wind shift to the NW and much cooler temps this morning. Anyway, a pretty interesting case.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814313368731066590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-66478231716213885302016-11-16T13:07:35.322-07:002016-11-16T13:07:35.322-07:00No, but we are working on it.
The one comment tha...No, but we are working on it.<br /><br />The one comment that I will make is that the amount of lake effect in any given year is more a function of meteorology than lake size, at least lake sizes within the range of historical variations. Things could change dramatically as the lake shrinks further.<br /><br />Jim<br />Jim Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799757451626876963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-74523957664087919622016-11-16T10:17:32.218-07:002016-11-16T10:17:32.218-07:00Is there any scholarship available on the effect t...Is there any scholarship available on the effect that GSL's reduction in areal coverage has had on lake effect snowfall along the Wasatch Front?Chris Cawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769768366265923010noreply@blogger.com
