Burghblizz

The sun is going to be out in like 15 minutes there too — But it’s going to be OK.

Only our area can get the “hot” designation in the complaint thread, on a morning with a free micro-blizzard, with no tracking needed

Dropped about 1” or so 30 minutes. The last 5 minutes was straight white out. Some pretty high gusts behind the squall. Getting occasional low vis with blowing snow now.

Whiteout here too, weenie. Right thread

And it’s glorious.

Then it’s confirmed. You are a troll that lives in Philly pissed off about your shitty area. If you are in the north hills, you do not have “flurries” right now.

40 MPH gust. Whiteout. But weenie on guys

Every weenie thinks that. Look at the snow hole in South central PA this year. Try a Philly or DC 2” winter. Anyway - ripping 2” per hour right now. Not sure if it last for an hour, but approaching a fresh inch. Nice last 30 days as I’m around 25”.

Wouldn’t be shocked to add a sneaky inch or two to that over the course of the day. I’ve had some squalls on and off so far.

I’m just here for the comic relief.

Yeah - it’s not going to snow a foot Sunday. Just relaying the imagination of the Canadians at this point.

This shot has a thin weenie band that gets north of the city 12” all told - but the frames before this have good widespread snows

If you want a decent reference site for local forecasts, this is it. Honestly, I think they are making the same mistake you are by using that brief moment where the 12” point and click contour made it down to Moon Twp. Also, Intellicast goes off of that I believe. The NWS statement was 6-12” and 6-11” at various times. So throw that in this bunch: But you’ll see this was the landscape of local forecasts. To pretty decent for a 9” storm. It’s the highest model and weenie dreams that didn’t verify. The forecasts did.

The map did, but they aggregate reports from earlier. So like I said, you can cross reference the report times in the PIS and LSR’s Not sure why you are so obsessed to show that 7” fell instead of 9” in a storm that was forcasted to get 6 to 11”. Anyway, take this to banter.

Little batch of snow showers about to roll in. Won’t amount to much, but look nice falling into the snow pack.

You brought it up. Linking a map. A map that includes early and mid event totals. Cross reference that with the PIS and the times of those reports. Sorry the storm underformed your expectations. It snowed 9.1”. Probably a little more here. Forecasts were fine. Every local, accuweather, and the NWS statement validated. Literally 30 posts because some dude at NWS briefly pulled the 12” contour down west of the city.

It was a solid foot in the city, but it was an epic storm 50 miles east.

That 37 months from Dec 92 to Jan 96 had a LOT of snow. It was more than a few big storms. That’s my favorite extended period. Best month was 2.10. https://www.weather.gov/media/pbz/records/hissnow.pdf

Your “model runs” were the Weather Channel 5 day business planner. If those hit a couple times in a row, then I started watching locals. If they started mentioning it, I’d wait for the orange screen on TWC for the Winter Storm Watch. I mean, I wouldn’t trade today’s direct access to models, message boards, internet, etc. But still very nostalgic about those times.

If we have to watch ppl get 40 to get 20”….that’s OK. Sign me up.

You see that here and around Charleston WV from time to time. I think it’s more that very light snow showers aren’t getting picked up until they get close to those radar sites. I don’t think they just happen to be flaring up in those spots

Beautiful morning. Still snowing (passing snow shower) but with the sun out. So fresh snow is shining as is the ice on the trees. Looks like white lights on them since water was frozen in the shape of tear drops

We had far fewer clown maps in 2010. Who know what kuchera would have shown. But we were consistently getting the 2” QPF contour bumping closer and closer

Feb 10 was a weenie dream. Snowed almost 50” The 2.5.10 was what we all strive for. 6-10/8-12 type forecasts, but seeing the 20”+ model support actually come to fruition. I remember having 11” on the ground and seeing the 0zNAM come in at another 12” — then thinking “sonofabitch, we got this”

The NWS statement was 6-12” (yeah, I get their grid had more) What most of the public sees is the statement. The locals at various times were 5-12/5-9/6-10, etc. It snowed 9.1” It was pretty well forecasted even if the city and valleys had more like 7 or 8. Models arent forecasts. I get if Kpitsnow was disappointed and wanted more - and that’s his right. But it was well within the compilation of local forecasts.
