I plan to be just east of Cleveland on a beach but the forecast keeps wavering from 40%-70% cloud cover. Driving me mad all week.

Does it REALLY suck when the forecast less than 48 hours ago was half of what you actually got?

Agreed - that's why I blocked TimB and KPitSnow a long time ago and the thread is much more factual and weather discussion rather than whining and complaining. Instead of doom and gloom, it is excitment and fun speculation rather than temper tantrums and poopy pants.

It’s been a beautiful snow globe all morning here. Approx. 3”, which based on temps, serves as a really nice base for Friday if it plays out. This past week has really brightened my mood about winter with the cold and few snow bursts that stick around. It’s certainly nice to enjoy.

New band came out of nowhere for the east, sitting at about 2” with another 2” to come in the new band according to Wunderground. We will see, but this is a nice surprise

Got a quick unexpected inch here overnight and, given the temps, should be on the ground for a long time. Makes it feel like winter. The wind gust took a piece of siding off though, so it’s not all good news

I don’t buy those high totals and I’m capping my expectation at 4”, but that certainly would be a welcome surprise.

WWA for Westmoreland. Winter Weather Advisory Issued by National Weather Service Pittsburgh, PA 2:23 PM EST Fri, Jan 5, 2024 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM TO 10 PM EST SATURDAY... * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 2 and 5 inches. * WHERE...Portions of northwest and western Pennsylvania.

FWIW, weather underground for my location has bumped up in the last 24 hours and now shows 4” and changed the verbiage to “3 to 5 inches expected” whereas before it was 1”.

I don’t think anyone would be sad at this in western PA based on the roller coaster of the last week.

Yup and I’ll be happy for it after 2023.

Again, I'll take just the grass covered at this point as I said from the get go before the new year. We're halfways there after overnight.

You’re not sucking me in this early this time, jack.

I'm not jumping, but I do want to call out, looking historically to 2021 when we actually got snow, the Euro nailed pretty much every storm that year with totals whereas the others were busts. EDIT: Still happy with anything that covers the grass for this one. It has been way too long since.... anything and at this point, I'll appreciate anything.

I’d take anything that covers the grass at this point.
