    Pray for @RevWarReenactor. I have been tasked with the unpleasant duty of informing you all that he is currently in the hospital with a severe kidney stone episode that has possibly led to kidney failure after eating a Big Arch and it’s questionable if he’s going to make it. I know some in this sub don’t see eye to eye with him but he’s still human and some things transcend message board drama.

    Yesterday was only the 2nd calendar day on or after March 16th to get 6+” of snow in the past 70 years. The other was of course that day in 2018.

    Official NWS obs was 6.3”. We officially got to warning level out of this thing.

    Lucking into a semi-respectable March snow total from one overperforming event in what has otherwise been a torchy, April-like month is really something. That puts the official seasonal total over 50”.
  5. TimB
    Let’s put it this way. The 76 and 75 observed at DCA at 3am and 4am would be a record for those hours in April.
  6. TimB
    The crazy thing is the 76 observed on the 3am hourly at DCA would be a record April high for that hour at that site, and we’re still in the first half of March.

    High of 78 ties with 2/20/2018 and 3/5/2004 for warmest high on or before 3/7, low of 60 is the 2nd warmest low on or before 3/7 behind 1/22/1906, daily mean of 69 is the warmest daily mean ever recorded at Pittsburgh on or before March 7th.
  8. TimB
    As of now, the high at PIT is either 78 or 79 depending on rounding. We have never reached 79 this early in the season.

    If you throw out those two erroneous data points, the highest dewpoint ever observed at PIT prior to March 15th was 61 on 1/8/1998. We could be reaching levels of humidity on Saturday that are unprecedented so early in the season.

    Awesome, I’m sure that translates to copious amounts of snow on the models and ensembles. Let me go check!

    You sure you’re not thinking about 2022?

    Wow highs in the upper 30s to low 40s and September equivalent sun angle. I’m pumped for winter’s last ride.
  13. TimB
    I’ll take #20 please.

    PIT has also very likely clinched all 3 winter months of below normal temps, but above normal snowfall for Feb seems like a bridge too far.
  15. TimB
    Need 0.6” overnight to clinch that above normal snow season and get that out of the way before the March megatorch.
  16. TimB
    As of 4pm, PIT needed 1.3” additional snow to clinch an above normal snowfall season. That would seem to be pretty much a guarantee with whatever falls from this event from 4pm onward, the Tuesday night event, the Thursday event, and the early next week event.

    Did they just ignore the entire 0z model suite?
  18. TimB
    Absolutely comical. Every single model except the euro had this storm in some form or another at 12z, and every single model that’s run so far at 0z has lost the storm. I wonder if that’s ever happened that quickly on 6 different models.

    Next week is already trending away from the huge, extended torch, so maybe that’s a good sign that it’s not curtains for winter just yet.
  20. TimB
    I don’t know about you, but I thought this past November was a colossal failure. 0.5” against a normal of 2.4”. And October was even worse. We got exactly 0% of our monthly normal of 0.4”.
  21. TimB
    When 93 drops out of the normals (just five years away from that!), we’ll lose probably about a full inch out of that 7.6”.
  22. TimB
    You can’t weight March as heavily as you do DJF, imo. The blizzard of ‘93 has set an unrealistic expectation of March in the mind of any yinzer old enough to remember it.
  23. TimB
    I agree that we’re fairly cooked, but average snowfall from now until whenever snow is no longer possible is 15.9”. So we don’t even need 30% of that to get to normal.
  24. TimB
    I would give it a B+ if we don’t see one more flake of snow the entire winter, and I’d be inclined to give it an A if we get at least the 4.3” needed for this to officially be an above average snowfall season.
  25. TimB
    Yes, it was a gorgeous day. Looks like we’ll keep some snowpack, though looking at the extended it’s on borrowed time and will likely be gone this weekend. All good things must come to an end. I’m intrigued to see how warm we can get next week. 60s seem possible if not likely.
