    Add that to the 1” that was officially observed at the NWS at 7am and that’s 2”, which means an advisory bust.
  2. TimB
    3” used to be incredibly easy to get. Like it used to happen several times a season. But now it hasn’t happened for two years, at least officially at PIT.

    Just woke up. Are we going to fall short of an advisory level event AGAIN?
  4. TimB
    Dewpoints are currently in the single digits. Does that mean we battle dry air at onset again?
  5. TimB
    Yeah. Definitely to be enjoyed. We don’t get these too often, let alone twice in the same week.
  6. TimB
    Of course, my favorite graphic is this one.

    NWS seems to agree with the sentiment that this won’t bust badly, with probabilities of 2” at 85%+ across the county.
  8. TimB
    No it doesn’t warrant an advisory. It’s a long duration event that might meet advisory criteria over 36-48 hours. That said, 3-4 inches of snow on snow would be satisfactory. But if it’s 1-2 inches, why even bother?

    It’s been the same old story over and over again for every single snow event that’s happened the past two winters. Today’s NWS discussion: - Snow chances increase on Thursday, but the main focus for widespread accumulations will be Thursday night and Friday. Snow accumulation could exceed criteria for headlines, but current probabilities are pointing to the highest threat in the ridges.

    Running out of time for an actual good event. If we come back from next week’s thaw quickly, there’s 5, maybe 6 weeks left. It’s sad that our bar for satisfactory at this point is set at advisory level snowfalls or even less, but we really could go another winter without one.

    Oh right, so it was never an advisory event in the NWS’ eyes. It was two separate events totaling 3.some inches.

    NWS has dialed us back to some stupid little sub-advisory level 2.4” event, which is actually the same as what we got yesterday. Their discussion repeats the same old stupid little mantra of “advisories are likely in the ridges” that has pretty much defined the last two years. Not ideal, but would get us into the double digits for the season.

    Low end amount of 2” in Pittsburgh is pretty solid.

    Nice little event this morning. Grass is finally covered for the first time since March 2022.
  15. TimB
    That was meant all in good fun. It’s MLK day, so I was thinking of the great MLK Day bust of 2022.
  16. TimB
    I think what we need is for trends to move towards a 2-3” event that impacts the morning rush, an advisory gets issued, and then @KPITSnowmeasures like 1.2” in his backyard.
  17. TimB
    That’s going to be a tall order, considering PIT is west so more likely to get fringed.
  18. TimB
    NWS seems to have bumped us back up into the 2” range. Models are looking pretty good for the late week storm.
  19. TimB
    I would think we can be upset with 1-2” if Friday also busts. With yesterday’s snow, PIT is at 5.9” for the season. I personally would say a season total of 10.0” at the end of January is the bare minimum dividing line between being kinda bummed and complete despair. That requires us to get 4.1” before the thaw.

    Underrated post.
  21. TimB
    Already cut significantly.
  22. TimB
    It’s ridiculous. But let them have this. Gambling depends on it.
  23. TimB
    NAM anyway. RGEM somehow held.
  24. TimB
    18z mesos say no.
  25. TimB
    It’s not, and has never been, about safety. It’s about gambling.
