    I’m in a discord with a few people who like to gamble. Some guy lost a huge parlay on basketball by half a point the other night.

    Yes, and yes. I’m not arguing bust on this event. Just saying we’re going to get unlucky on the number that actually goes in the record book, which ultimately doesn’t matter looking at my backyard.

    This is where the official measurement at the NWS office and not at PIT itself actually does get us.

    Today is the 30th anniversary of the coldest day ever in Pittsburgh.

    Ultimately this event wasn’t a bust, most places are going to be in that 3-5 range. A few places lower (somehow the NWS only officially got 2.3” and our futility streak continues) and maybe a few places in the top end of that range.
  6. TimB
    The one currently in the north hills is solid.

    That said, there’s like, what, the handful of us on here and those few weirdos that are always hassling NWS Pittsburgh on twitter? And that’s about the extent of weather nerds in this area.

    I honestly wonder if one exists. The upstate NYers did one.

    Are you back on Reddit with a new account yet?

    Well there’s that too. But our streak of no calendar days with 3” of snow would seem to be intact unless a band sets up over the airport. Well, the NWS office, but close enough.

    2.1” officially at PIT as of 1pm. Need a miracle to break our streak of no advisory level events.

    Indeed, one week of winter (and maybe more if we’re lucky) is better than zero.
  13. TimB
    The mark of a decent event.

    Think I spoke too soon about this being a complete disaster. It’s probably going to be a slight letdown when all is said and done, but we’ve had much worse.
  15. TimB
    And yet your instincts turned out to be correct, because every storm finds a way to bust around here.

    I’d like to know the secret to viewing a 2” event positively when every single model had us getting at least 3 and the NWS pretty much guaranteed it (90% chance).
  18. TimB
    In the 143 seasons of records prior to last year, there were 7 that failed to produce an advisory level snowfall (5%). Now we’re on the cusp of two in a row.
  19. TimB
    Number of 3” snowfalls, last 36 winters:

    And it’s not even the NWS’s fault. Every single run of every single model yesterday had us getting a solid 3-5” event and we still got fucked.
  21. TimB
    It’s just ridiculous. This one, the NWS had a 90% chance of 3” or more and it’s still going to fail.
  22. TimB
    Add that to the 1” that was officially observed at the NWS at 7am and that’s 2”, which means an advisory bust.
  23. 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.
  24. TimB
    Just woke up. Are we going to fall short of an advisory level event AGAIN?
  25. TimB
    Dewpoints are currently in the single digits. Does that mean we battle dry air at onset again?
