  1. Of course they will, but pretty sure PBZ leads the nation by a wide margin in watches that get downgraded to advisories.
  2. Because the watch only exists for continuity purposes at this point.
  3. 3-5” of snow and up to 0.1” of ice both would seem to fall well short.
  4. How much ice combined with a low end advisory snowfall is worthy of a watch/warning? Surely not 0.0x”, right?
  5. Maybe, but even the text of the watch is now 3-5” of snow with up to a tenth of ice. That’s advisory level and not watch or warning worthy no matter how you slice it.
  6. Rest assured we won’t get to -10, especially since we won’t have snow on the ground.
  7. GFS basically folded. It’s over. Maybe it’ll be like last year and we can get a snowless March and a consolation prize of an inch and a half on April 21st that melts in 3 hours.
  8. I’d also be fine with missing out on this storm if there wasn’t still a sour taste from last year when we missed out on a storm in mid-February, not knowing at the time that it was our last chance for any real snowfall, and worrying that this could be that moment.
  9. In other news, we overperformed on temps again today, as we always do when there’s snow to melt.
  10. Even if it’s several runs, they’ll never take down the watch, they’ll just quietly replace it with an advisory and rejoice in the fact that an advisory was the right call if we get even a trace of zr, since that’s the criteria for an advisory.
  11. I’d go as far as to say they should take down the watch, but they’ll leave it up until it turns into an advisory for a trace to a tenth of freezing rain. We met our quota of one good winter month, but now it’s February.
  12. 1.8” of QPF through 3z Friday, of which 1.72” is rain and the other 0.08” is “freezing rain” that falls during the day at 32 degrees, which is just a glorified way to say plain rain.
  13. A boring rainstorm. It’s almost like they set these models up in such a way that they suck us in for a storm we had no business tracking, only to pull the rug out.
  14. 12z HRRR was at 33 at daybreak Thursday. 18z HRRR is at 36 at the same time and stays above freezing through the end of its run. Hours and hours of 33 degree rain.
  15. If @jwilsonsays it is, there’s a pretty solid chance it is.
  16. Euro with a slight tick in the right direction. Maybe not enough, but when is it ever?
  17. GFS drops to -12 but is by far the coldest model on that part.
  18. It looks like a slight NW shift on the Canadian but we can’t really afford anything in that direction.
  19. With a GFS-like snowpack, it continues to insist that Saturday morning could be the coldest of the season.
  20. Gradient of 4-12” of snow across Allegheny not counting sleet.
