Interpreting the radar:

Why does it show "green" when it is snowing, and other times "white (snow)" or pink/blue (ice) when it is raining. If you are a member you can hear an audio interview with Jim

Explanation: The radar is based strictly on observed temperatures at several ski resorts and local cities and NOT on the precipitation that is necessarily happening at the ski resort. In other words, when temps up to 2000 feet are below 30 degrees, the radar will always show snow; between 30-34 degrees ice; above 34 degrees rain. About 70% of the time, these temperature categories will pretty much indicate what is happening at the base of the ski resort, but not necessarily above 2000 feet. If the low level temperature is 35 degrees (rain), but at 3000 feet it is 30 degrees and snowing, the radar is calibrated to the lowest elevation and will say rain. Hence, it is important to check out updates and call the resort when temperatures are a few degrees either side of 32 degrees, so you will receive more accurate information.

This is a close up satellite picture , refreshed every 15 to 30 minutes. It is centered on Montpelier Vermont. After sunrise and before sunset in clear conditions, local terrain will show up. The sun will cause long shadows to appear in the piture. The pictures from can often show lake effect snow plumes coming off Lake Champlain as streaks emanating downwind usually toward Boston.

This is from the current National Weather Service Doppler radar network and comes from Weather Underground. Under light snowfall conditions, there will be little radar return shown.

This infra-red shot is like the visual version only is colorized. Typically shown is an orange or warmer color with black sources of water i.e. ponds lakes showing up where skies are clear. Different scales of cloud temperature are colored to show different cloud levels. Also during the day you can see the heating effects as the color changes, likewise cooling effects with arctic air and the like. Colder cloud tops often mean heavier precipitation when associated with an ongoing storm.
