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?

Wow, CTP’s is pretty damn solid for something that’s not officially a warning event in any of their area.

Are we counting the part about lake enhancement in the I-80 area tomorrow or not?

They’re busy making sure their area forecast discussions are top-notch. Cut them a break.

I had almost allowed myself to forget 1/19/19. Thanks.

Great movie.

Was that the January 2016 storm that pounded the Mid-Atlantic?

It always does when there are p-type concerns, so why wouldn’t it now?

Verbatim there’s a nice little inch or two of bonus snow for some out ahead of that storm. Not saying it’ll happen, but I’d take it.

Nothing like the lows on the Canadian, which seems to pretty much assume perfect radiational cooling conditions basically every night.

Can’t imagine that’ll change at all in the next 15 days.

This one’s for you, @paweather.

Can we lock this in?

If it looked a day or two before your trip like you’d end up missing the Blizzard of ‘22, would you cancel?

Looks like winds at the surface and aloft are going to be W to WNW at best on Friday, so that’s an uphill battle.

Now at 329 days without a 2 inch daily snowfall at PIT. If this storm doesn’t produce 2 inches on either Thursday or Friday (not combined), we move into the top 5. Record is 369 from 1/21/1978 through 1/24/1979.

It has a lot of white and gray on it?

I just looked at some numbers and there have been 8 times this century alone where MDT had less snow through today’s date than the 1.1” so far this year.

If MDT gets to a season total of 2” before I do, the jealousy will be stifling.

Come on now, they’re only a QB and an offensive line and a defense and a punter shy of being a contender. Surely Russell Wilson or 38 year old Aaron Rodgers could be the cure to those ills.

I’m so glad they got the interception at the end so that he could take one last knee before his sendoff. Of course I have mixed feelings on Ben as a person (and all that stuff was years ago and I’d like to believe he’s grown up since), but Ben the football player means the world to Steeler nation and I definitely shed a tear at the end of this era, even if he’s a shadow of the quarterback he used to be (but he did set an NFL single game record last night: fewest passing yards for a QB with 45 or more attempts). Franchise quarterbacks are hard to come by, and I hope we find another one soon.

NWS is carrying a forecast of 2.9” for Pittsburgh at the moment, with a 21% chance of 6+ and a 16% chance of nothing.

His opponent tossed 15 for 50 some yards. LOL
