  1. If this actually happened I’d take 1.8” of snow in May no matter how much anyone else got. Would be our third 1” May event ever.
  2. Have a feeling models like the HRRR with much more reasonable snow totals in the ridges and basically nothing in the metro area will win out. It’s late April and it’s really hard to get an inch or two of snow this late. This isn’t 4/21/21 with optimal timing and probably isn’t even 4/19/18. Probably more analogous to 4/7/17.
  3. Seems the models that do give us Monday snow have it falling heavy for a few hours with great rates, but it’s all during the day and far too warm to stick.
  4. Can’t see anything accumulating here in mid-afternoon with August equivalent sun angle and temps in the mid to upper 30s. Still a better chance in areas where the heaviest precip moves through after dark.
  5. So like the CMC’s depiction of next weekend?
  6. 220 is bold, looks like 5/24 would be a record for latest first 80 at MDT.
  7. Not even close. It’s at 181 now and would need 58 more days to set a record, and 44 more to even catch 2019-20. Last year also got to 201.
  8. The 4/21/21 event was impressive. I believe it was a top 5 snow event for so late in the season.
  9. Actually was at 1:05 this morning. 5-min obs make me wonder if even the 82 yesterday was accurate. There were only 2 obs that made it to 80 yesterday and both were sandwiched by missing or 3 degrees cooler temps. I know there’s a F->C->F conversion that goes on here, but it’s still a weird progression.
  10. If I had only been a little less generous with the 22” that I forecast for MDT. And PIT wouldn’t have helped me, I would have lowballed it and we ended up right at our normal.
  11. Wow, congrats on the top 5 finish. Looks like I wasn’t too far behind you. I’ll take it for it being my first one of these.
  12. These early 80 degree days are fantastic, before the humidity cranks up. I’d take a whole summer of days like today but sadly that’s not our climate.
  13. 2:45 5-min obs was 81 so the official high should be either 80 or 81.
  14. 10:1 preferably, though it wouldn’t get those kind of ratios.
  15. Clown range GFS has some fun stuff in it for the @paweather types who want winter to go on forever. I won’t post it, it’s too far out to be reasonable.
  16. Warmest day of the year so far incoming? Or do we continue our April theme of underperforming again?
  17. I don’t buy the evolution the 12z shows, but it’s definitely still there.
  18. That would be historic, if highly unlikely. Pittsburgh has never recorded a 4” snowstorm beyond 4/10.
  19. Guy says he’s struggling with depression and you’re telling him to stop whining? Some people are just too much. And I’d take below normal temps for 12 months out of the year if it could happen. This is an incredibly bad take.
  20. Something like that. It’s really hard not to speculate but I’ll wait until details come out. It’s just sad news, 24 is way too young to die regardless of what he did on or off the field during his short life. I feel bad that we joked about him on here so much last summer.
  21. Yeah, doesn’t look too impressive as far as warmth, and daily rain chances will put a damper on even the warm days. I think we could get to 70 on Wednesday and/or Thursday depending on frontal timing but our first 80 seems like a massive long shot. This past week underperformed due to clouds and rain. I expected several days well into the 60s and we never got any higher than 58. It seems this pattern is hard to shake.
  22. Just a couple years too young for that one to have much of a memorable impact on me. But I seem to remember discussing it last summer here as well. LOL
  23. Will the weekend cold be a little less disappointing now that you’ve seen what the “warm” days have been like?
