  3. Coverage of 0.5 Degree Scan

  4. Beam Blockage: A major limitation of the WSR-88D network Can’t see the precipitation on the other side of the mountain! * * * * * * * * * *

  5. Poor Coverage with low-angle scans over northern VT! Coverage of 0.5 deg scan

  6. Coverage at 3 km above Sea Level (~10,000’ or 700 mb)

  7. Better coverage around 10,000’ over northern VT.

  8. Our three local radars

  9. Our local WSR-88D: CXX: only ~200 ft high You are here

  10. Gray Maine, GYX .

  11. A little help from our northern friends: McGill Radar .
