Radar Detects Snow off Santa Barbara Coast


Whilst paging through a list of MP3s I accidentally deleted from my hard drive, I glanced at the weather radar and came across this. If you look closely, west of Santa Barbara, you will see blue. This means that the radar estimates snow falling into the ocean. It is impossible to verify unless anyone happens to be out there on a boat, but in any event it is extremely rare to have even radar-indicated snow in that part of the ocean.

If conditions are just perfect, it could round Point Conception and wander into LA.. however, the wind flow is not conductive to this, and it will probably just clip San Miguel Island. Regardless of where that snow goes, it is going to be COLD in southern california, with below freezing temperatures expected across almost the entire region. Posted by Picasa
