    @Mount Joy Snowman, it looks like AFJ is an AWOS site at 1063 feet, about 20 miles south of PIT as the crow flies. What differentiates AWOS sites that make it onto that list from AWOS sites that don’t? Reliability of data?

    I think it’s probably a notorious cold spot for western PA. Perhaps the data is questionable, I’ve never looked into it. PIT got to 6 around 7:30 this morning and several personal weather stations in the area got to the low single digits so I would tend to believe that reading, but it may be a different type of site than your typical airport.

    State low that I could find at an airport was at AFJ (Washington, PA), which got down to 2, but that’s more my neck of the woods than yours.

    High of 21 today at PIT. Our record streak of consecutive days without a high below 20 continues but coldest high since 3/6/19.

    Nice little burst of moderate/heavy snow here this evening. Everything is covered again. Maybe another inch or more honestly. Love bonus snow.

    Isn’t there a thing with ZR where the accretion is almost always less than the QPF for some reason or another?

    Nah, not the 76ers. The 75ers, who share the same arena.
  8. TimB
    So how ‘bout them 75ers?

    Not shocking, just makes a political jab that I’d rather not gum up a wx thread with.

    I won’t post the tweet, it’s pretty loaded.

    At least on here, most are aware that the 300+ maps are relatively meaningless and simply for discussion/entertainment purposes. JB’s audience is presumably much wider and some would surely interpret a 378 hour map as a forecast.

    There is a kiss of death for my polar vortex event, however: JB tweeted about it yesterday using the hour 378 map of the operational GFS.
  13. TimB
    12z GEFS still showed a deep blue on the 500 anomaly at the end of its range.

    Could see grass poking through last night’s snow when I got up this morning, can’t see it now. Win.
  15. TimB
    GFS has been fairly consistent the last 3 or 4 runs with its depiction of a brutally cold period in that timeframe and the ensembles are showing a notably strong signal for cold considering how far out it is.

    I had my doubts on your lake effect mood flakes the other day with the westerly flow but it seems that panned out for us.

    Looks like no advisory was the right call. Just a hair under 2” imby, call it 1.9”. Happy to finally see some snow.

    This. Would you be motivated on a NWS met’s salary to do the regular parts of your job AND write a several-paragraphs-long summary of your reasoning that (and I think I’m being generous with this estimate) like 5% of the population reads?
  19. TimB
    Wow, CTP’s is pretty damn solid for something that’s not officially a warning event in any of their area.
  20. TimB
    Are we counting the part about lake enhancement in the I-80 area tomorrow or not?
  21. TimB
    They’re busy making sure their area forecast discussions are top-notch. Cut them a break.
  22. TimB
    I had almost allowed myself to forget 1/19/19. Thanks.
  23. TimB
    Great movie.
  24. TimB
    Was that the January 2016 storm that pounded the Mid-Atlantic?
  25. TimB
    It always does when there are p-type concerns, so why wouldn’t it now?
