Dual adaptive differential threshold method for automated detection of faint and strong echo features in radar observations of winter storms
Abstract. Radar observations of winter storms often exhibit locally enhanced linear features in reflectivity, sometimes labeled as snow bands. We have developed a new, objective method for detecting l...

As someone who grew up in North Carolina and is used to everything shutting down at even the slightest hint of snow, I am both impressed and saddened by how fast the city clears the snow -- just one snow day would be nice :)
