12z GFS is probably on something but it pounds us with a heavy burst of snow with the front. -
1989 is correct. Closest we’ve come since then is a low of 0 on 12/31/17. I think there was also a day in 2004 with a low of 0. I’m wondering honestly if our best shot is midday tomorrow immediately behind the front.
-
Slowly rising temperatures Christmas Eve are going to midnight us out of breaking the low max record of 13, aren’t they?
-
High wind watch was issued overnight. Gusts to 60.
-
Hard to lean too heavily on that HRRR, the fropa on it is insane and drops our temps to -5 by 9am.

Franco played his last game in a Steeler uniform before I was even born and this hits me harder than I thought it would. Legendary player, legendary person.

“One of his catches.” Why’d you have to do him dirty like that?
-
Looking a little longer range, there’s a solid chance the final day of the year will get above 50 for the 8th(!) time this century. Almost coin flip territory these days.
-
How goddamn cruel is this world that this had to happen almost exactly 50 years after that moment?
-
Does it have to be? No. Just like when you have a winter storm watch and they disappointingly turn it into a winter weather advisory.
-
CTP hoisted a wind chill watch this afternoon so I anticipate PBZ could possibly do the same for continuity.
-
NWS will give us a wind chill advisory. I give that a 99% chance. Wind chill is progged to be below the -10 threshold for like 24 hours straight at PIT.
-
Looks like the NWS got their excuse not to put up Friday snowfall maps yet, with the small amount of front end ice in the higher elevations tomorrow being the threat their maps address. Typical.
-
The other shoe has finally dropped. GFS is coming in line with other models on our lack of snow potential. Ceiling can’t be more than an inch and a half.
-
Fact of the matter is we’ll be down to 10 at some point Friday morning, regardless of semantics.
-
TWC isn’t any better.
-
More importantly, NWS seems to be rolling with 1-1.5”.
-
Enjoyed this way too much. Point and click for PIT.
-
I feel like the Kuchera’s going to overestimate us on this one. No way we’re getting the kind of ratios that an air temp in the single digits would imply in that calculation.
-
Would you define something like .7” as getting blanked?
-
Alarmingly, a solid half of them are this century. It’s about a 25% chance these days, it appears.
-
Wouldn’t be surprised if the NWS issued an advisory if they end up agreeing with the 1-3”, given the additional impacts and the fact that it’s happening on a busy travel day.
-
I think they use a 72 hour rule so we may have their first forecast later today.
-
The weather fanatic in me says there’s plenty to watch here, even if we don’t get much if any snow. I’m coming around to the idea that this is going to be a fun little blast of winter no matter how much or little white stuff we get.

Is jwilson an actual met or is he just smart? Or did he stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
