  1. It was less snow for people to be too lazy to shovel off of their sidewalks, walkways, outdoor steps, etc., which made life infinitely easier for some friends of mine who are gig economy workers, if that’s a silver lining.
  2. Euro is trending toward one of our famous February heatwaves for the second half of next week. Verbatim it’s temps in the 60s and dewpoints pushing 60.
  3. This is going to age poorly. I’ll be shocked if PIT doesn’t hit 50 today. Already at 46.
  4. This is the complaint thread. I could see February going either way, but it’s been such a warm month in recent years that the warm trend on the models has me skittish.
  5. It’s all good, our three week winter seems like it’s over, so now on to spring.
  6. Ens means are looking awfully ridgy in the long range. Could we be headed for a third straight early spring and 5th out of the last 7?
  7. Can’t wait until we’re inside the 18-24 contour and we get like 16.5.
  8. Was 2011 really our last 6” event in February? Last year doesn’t count, as the February portion of that 1/31-2/2 event did not reach 6”.
  9. Forecast should have never been a foot given that everyone but the NWS seemed to know there would be p-type and dry slotting issues.
  10. It’s hard to rule out the idea that you were secretly rooting for it to bust.
  11. It was all fun and games until I was hiding in my basement that night in October. To my knowledge, first time I’ve been inside the polygon in PA.
  12. I apologize, I shouldn’t have sent out the bat signal.
  13. I would think he’s saying his 7” fell in more than 12 hours, so he didn’t get 6” in any 12 hour period or 8” in any 24 hour period. I don’t like his argument but I know what he’s saying.
  14. I mean fine, but 6-9” over ~18 hours is getting a warning slapped on it 100 times out of 100 even if the low end doesn’t technically meet criteria.
  15. I didn’t figure you were begrudging anyone. And that 5% of your workforce comment speaks volumes about the “grass is greener” mentality - in many cases it isn’t.
  16. To be fair, the pros/cons of staying with a company for 25-30 years now probably aren’t as favorable as they were 25-30 years ago. But of course we also have the internet where you can find all sorts of jobs where the grass is (allegedly) greener at the click of a button.
  17. The good news is that neither of our warnings this year were downgraded to advisories and both met warning criteria for snow or ice in most locations outside of KPITSnow’s backyard.
  18. I assume this is from 1/19/19, though applicable to at least one storm nearly every year.
  19. Yes indeed, definitely feels like our days of checking every run of every model are on hiatus for now, and we’re due for a warmup. That’s where I’m going to compare this winter to last winter. Last year we had a top ten streak of not hitting 50 degrees (55 days). Today should be the 37th straight day this year and we have a very good shot at tacking on another week. I think we get there by mid-next week.
  20. I fancy myself a bit of a geography buff, though I’d have to say my skills pale in comparison to yours.
