  1. Whatever happens from here on out, this heavy snow is awesome. A few more bands of this would be just the ticket.
  2. Doesn’t matter if it’s 35 or 15, all snow is always the underdog when it comes to p-types in a Pittsburgh winter storm.
  3. Of course it is, but what can you do? The NAM was showing this issue from the time this storm got into its range, but we all dismissed it (but so did the pros, so I don’t feel as bad).
  4. And there’s the sleet/zr. WAA is undefeated in Pittsburgh.
  5. Ripping pretty good in the north hills now. Almost all snow.
  6. Hopefully those yellows and oranges don’t find a way to split the areas close to the city. Looks like they could.
  7. The right side of the chart. Chance of seeing more than 6” is 80% or so for most of the county.
  8. What’s more, the NWS now says there’s a solid 20% chance many locations in the immediate Pittsburgh area don’t even see warning level snow .
  9. I don’t think a statement like “anything less than 8 inches at PIT would be a bust” is at all unreasonable, given the forecast as recently as a few hours ago, but I’ll also say that I don’t think PIT falls short of 8 inches.
  10. PIT airport isn’t in Morgantown, and their point&click has mix this evening.
  11. Problem is the NWS has the mix in the zones when we can least afford it: during the period with the best rates, before the possible dry slot. Why can’t we ever have a nice clean storm?
  12. I feel like the trends are back in the good direction. It’s go time!
  13. 40 and a chance of rain on Wednesday. A garden variety 6-8” event will be almost gone in areas that get any sunshine at all in 3 days.
  14. I’m starting to worry that what looked like something special on the overnight model runs the morning of the event is now just going to be a garden variety WSW snowfall. Won’t complain about 8” or so, but we get that kind of event most years.
  15. Yeah, jog that thing a bit west and we’re in business. It’s at least interesting at this point. The 6z GFS has a parade of potential winter greatness.
  16. I’m supposed to work tomorrow but not going to sleep much tonight so I could get behind the power outage idea.
  17. Thing is, the models suggest we could already have warning-level snow on the ground when Ben lines up in the victory formation and takes a knee.
  18. Bottom line is, even with all this fretting about dry slotting, this run still puts down roughly a foot in the metro. Yes, it’s closer to 18” in Youngstown.
