This already came down from 3-4" yesterday, so they look to be adjusting down.

Ok. I thought they took observations on the North Side before KPIT.

Just out of curiosity, how much warmer do we think the City of Pittsburgh (somewhere in the city limits but not downtown) would be vs. KPIT? The weather app on my phone shows a difference from my location (in the city) and KPIT mostly of 2 degrees. So, do we really think those records from the 1880s and 1890s or even the early 1900s would be that much different at the airport? I mean the City wasn't hugely built up then, and even if it were 2 degrees different, many of those records would still be standing.

Clippers and lake effect a staple in the Fall? I don't recall that. This summer was hot, especially July. Maybe just because of that stretch of 8 straight 90 degree days, and 12 total overall. It didn't feel all that humid (relative to normal humid), maybe due to being in drought conditions. Also, the drought and overall drier trend since May has been welcome, after two of the rainforest years ever.

FYI, UK this morning sent our temperatures on Monday to all time record levels.

I disagree, if we look at climate change we are looking at anomolous warmth in the Artic, that warmth is displacing cold, and it has to go somewhere. The bulk of this season it has been stationed over Siberia into Europe, an area that was very warm last winter. Siberia had one of its coldest Decembers ever. That artic cold does continue to drop down, just hasn't visited here since 2019, heck it's only in the midwest not too far away. Will it visit this year, maybe, maybe not? But this did not define whether the winter was a winner or not.

That’s the point, these models have flipped back and forth each day. One shows brutal cold one day while the other shows regular cold, then they reverse. We’ll see what happens, it’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t go below 0, or below 8 or whatever. It will again at some point, if it isn’t this year it will be another year. It’s been a great winter regardless.

Yesterday there were a few runs where the Euro was bringing in well below 0 weather. I saw -12 one run and -18 in another.

Only 4.2" officially. Obviously "only" 4.2" is a pretty good storm for us, but we were supposed to get 5", lol.

Ron Smiley mentioned on the news this morning that he was concerned about Sunday for possible significant accumulation, but had a mix on the graphic.

Woke up surprised at how much snow there was. Even had a plow pre-treating before it started last night! Did nothing, roads are white.

Was pretty cold in January.

Wow, we're maxing on for this. Very interesting that in New Castle and Uniontown they see less than an inch, and the in between some will get 5". Very weird.

A nice extra 3-4" in a few days isn't bad, after around that much tonight.

63.5” would get us into the top 10 snowiest seasons, so just under 20 more inches to get there.

Record is 82” I believe, 09-10 is #3 with 77”. Doubt we get near those this year, but 60” isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

Yeah if we get that much moisture we could be looking at a 3-6" event instead of a 2-4" event.

The national advisory map is so strange with that really narrow strip of advisories. I've never seen as narrow a strip for that many miles, lol.

The storm next Wednesday on the Euro looks insane. Those snowfall rates look crazy. Showed about 4.4" over 6 hours, looks like it would potentially be 1-2" per hour rates at a time. Bottom line potential continues into next week after Sunday.

Yeah that Sunday look is nice! Obviously will change, don't want to be bullseyed this far out.

Just a weird looking map, with the thin strip.

^0z and 12z are more accurate anyway. We'll see what happens.

What causes that Wed-Fri storm to kind of have a blow up on early Fri? Good thing is GFS and Euro both have this type of storm, and really we're less than 5 days from the start. Also, they both have an event Tuesday, so good news there as well. Euro brings cold too. Valentine's morning is -4.

We've had a few storms this year that were all snow that really had no business being all snow, last week's comes to mind. The low was directly west of us and we were snowing. Could be this follows too. We just need a good overrunning event.

Yeah, The Weather Channel is going with 4-8" on Wednesday and another 2-4" Thursday.
