i started playing with this idea last winter, and took it a bit further this last storm...

but what are the best sources for historical time lapse radar that you have found? at first i just knew about the last 3 hours radar images...

then i found the last 24 hour images...

but still haven't really found anything in the last 24+hour ranges, so i built this ugly prototype up... sorry for a few gaps...

still looking for more sources/links/websites that you may use to get this kind of information.. i'm sure there has to be something on NOAA somewhere.. the one i found on noaa does 5 minute increments.. i think an hour is about as granular as I want to get....

so nobody looks at historical radar before making the trip up? Are you just glued to hitting refresh every 5 minutes on current radar during all storm events?

Yup. Read some David Hume. Look at this year's two good storms.
