  1. January 1977 is ridiculous. It’s 6 degrees colder at Pittsburgh than any other month on record. Not 6 degrees below normal, 6 degrees below the 2nd coldest month on record.
  2. I’m pretty jealous of anyone who got to live through those late 70s winters. All 3 of them. Likely never be a stretch like that again. 13-14 and 14-15 I guess came close, and the 3 solid winters out of 4 in the 90s.
  3. Ah but the NWS office isn’t at the airport, it’s a little north and that’s where the obs is taken.
  4. I’d say this thing verified and then some, whether the official total at PIT gets there or not.
  5. I’m also thinking no. Meanwhile there’s a report from Imperial, a few miles away, of 4”. It’s like the streak just doesn’t want to end or the NWS observer doesn’t want it to.
  6. Official NWS obs at 9pm was 1.9”. Hopefully they can squeeze out another inch.
  7. Advisory/warning map is kinda wonky. You’ve got counties with warnings bordering counties with nothing.
  8. That’s actually a pretty big whiff by the NWS. Those areas were supposed to get 2-2.5”.
  9. They also dropped our amounts in the text of the advisory back to 2-4.
  10. That early band looks like it might clip the south hills. Probably no love for those of us who are north.
  11. NWS introduced the “heavy at times” wording to the 4pm forecast package.
  12. Has the disadvantage of being west for an event that’s going to perform best south and east. But can’t rule it out.
  13. HRRR is starting to look kinda meh. Hopefully that’s not a sign.
  14. I would accept a solution that settles somewhere around the 3” that the NWS is calling for. I’d love 4-6, but that seems like an unrealistic expectation.
  15. I’m liking the way this is trending. Advisory level event on most to all guidance at the moment.
  16. Not going to clog up the snow thread, but it’s funny that PIT apparently gusted to 60 at 6:33pm and then a wind advisory was issued 14 minutes later.
  17. HRRR improved again at 0z. Now up to a 2-3” type event.
  18. That’s fine, we still have 95-96 to replace in the normals.
