OutnOakmont

What a pleasant surprise to receive about a half inch overnight. I thought for sure it was just going to be rain. Hope everybody is well and happy new year!

I'm so jealous. I am away in Maryland for Christmas and it's pouring buckets of rain and is balmy out. Wish I was back in PGH to see the white stuff. Merry Christmas everybody and enjoy!

Just finished shoveling and snow is coming down again for an encore! I'm loving this!!!

Just did my last measurement for the night and I'm pleased to say that it's reached 10" and is still coming down. I'm pleased as punch. What a great start to the season! And thank goodness I found this board to share the ups and downs of tracking this whopper... It was quite the rollercoaster ride. See everybody tomorrow!

Measuring 5" on the nose right now in my backyard.

Trekked out for my measurement. 2.25" and it started at my house in earnest at 10:30. Not too shabby!!!!

Any measurable snow before Christmas is a win in my book. I'm super excited to put on some Chevy Chase, break out the wrapping paper, and enjoy the snow fall tonight!

I'm confused about the HRRR right now, too. I use pivotal weather and it did look pretty bleak. Is it because the latest run only goes up to 18 hours? Do other sites give more data? Sorry if that's a dumb question!

I keep reading the forecast discussion to see if it's changed with some of these runs and it continues to be fuddy dud central!

This is my third season in this forum and I've learned so much from everybody. Through the few hits and many, many near misses we've had, I now accept whatever sadness the Euro produces haha. Imo it seems to be the most right, most often. Having said that, the Euro really likes the low swooping right over the Delmarva peninsula. I feel like if it could track a hair west and travel up the Chesapeake, which is not an uncommon track, that could make a difference for us in Pittsburgh. Looking at the Euro maps, all that stands between the garbage zone and the jackpot for us is Westmoreland County.

Officially at 6" here!!!

I moved my patio table out to the middle of yard to be away from the house and trees to serve as my impromptu snow board. Just trekked out to measure 3" exactly as of 5 minutes ago. I would love to squeeze out 5-6" by the end of this event!

Currently, very slick on my front porch from some totally unexpected sleet here in Oakmont.

Do we have a winter room yet? I'm having trouble finding it if there is one. I'm excited to see some snow chatter.

First rain/snow icon of the season on NOAA for Sunday night! I'm sure we'll be seeing many more of those damn mixes over the course of the season hahaha
