Abstract

Our analysis suggests that snow boundaries on this day over the northeast Plains of Colorado may have acted through the development of a weak solenoidal field to enhance low-level inflow into a snow-free area within this region, thereby assisting with cloud development over the snow-free ground. Analogous to the sea breeze, this phenomenon might be termed a 'snow breeze'. Very-short-range forecasting of weather associated with phenomena such as this can be greatly improved with data from surface mesonetworks.-from Authors
