I was stating I was enjoying the storm, no clue why anyone would take that personally.

Agreed. Much better to enjoy it than calling it a bust at every stage after getting hopes up with every model run and misreading the radar/calling it over prematurely at 7am. Probably picked up another 2” since 7am here in Ross. Big big flakes but I think it’s compacting more, they look like little ice balls at times.

I think, for your sanity, you need to move 50 miles.

Woke up to about 1-1.5" of sleety snow in Ross. Enough to make the ground all white again. 23.7 degrees here. Radar looks promising. Snow staring back up here in the last few mins. I don't think much more accumulation, but at least we will enjoy a white ground for a bit longer.

In Ross just let the dog out. Still rain, no ice. Still over 32. Just barely but it is. That line is holding steady.

No ice in Ross as of 12:35pm.

We must be in the same neighborhood or you’re using my PWS.

We're at 33 in Ross at the bottom of McKnight Rd. FWIW, WTAE has moved back their "alert hours" for today from 5pm to 3pm to 1pm to now starting mix here at 11am.

Aaaaaand there it is that I called just hours earlier. I'm thinking we end up with ice and 2-3" of snow, but expectations aren't high for today for me personally.

Don't do this people. 48 hours ago we were talking about all rain. Now that we're in the short term models, everyone getting their hopes up. We all know that this ends with certain members calling it a bust because we didn't see double digits because some models went wonky close to the event.

You can’t say that and not post maps.

Agreed. Two 8” events in three calendar weeks? I’d take that.

Wunderground updated from 1-2” to nothing for Friday after today’s runs.

Ended up with 8" here in Ross before the wind started blowing. All in all, a great snow. Sure it didn't hit a foot and we weren't in the bullseye, but this was a good hit. Onto the next one.

You mean the plains after a mountain range get a lot of snow? Seems pretty obvious for Denver. Harrisburg, Philly are in the same situation.

It’s almost like being in a mountain range has some bearing on the amount of snow one gets.

Any of us would have taken 6”+ 2 weeks ago.

That’s my thought process. It’s a long night.

Sleet really coming down in Ross. If this were snow it’d be whiteout.

Can’t say I’ve noticed any sleet here in Ross. But it has been rather slow so far.

Amen to that. Isn't this the same guy who said he was done with winter after the Nov snow because it was 1" less than forecast? Come on, at this point, just enjoy the snow globe. Down to 23.7 degrees here in Ross. Snowing steady, but not heavy.

updated way down.

Barely snow in the sky in Ross so far.

NWS updated forecast. Still would like a SE bump ideally to jackpot on the storm itself, but I will never ever ever complain about double digits in one go.
