Well, my girlfriend lives in Bessmer, which is near New Castle. She said, "it looks like a snow globe there. Easily 2 inches so far." Lucky. If it works out, I may move up there. Lol I was with her over the weekend and she got about 2 or 3 inches while I was there Sunday night into Monday morning.

Real nice 3 hours in Cranberry - about 2” that mostly fell in 2 hours.

Missed the first batch to the north, and that warm surge shut things off earlier than I would have liked. Roads cleared up pretty quick too.

Pounding now….1” in the last 50 min.

2 or 3 hours of moderate to heavy snow could give most of us a surprise 3 inches. I'd take it.  Forget the forecast it's nowcast time

Not really a suprise :-)

(unless u listen to some of these guys)

Must be a bunch of backside 

 

10” blob over me, and a couple other weenie blobs.

Probably just a glitch, but could be a sign of some heavier rates around. 

I’m still pretty optimistic. Granted, I’m 25 miles north of the city, but I think there is a decent chance for 3-4”…with the bonus of nice rates and daytime. 

I’m about 10 feet on the good side of the NAM (SE extreme of its 5”-7” swath). But no room for error and agonizingly close for others.

That initial push of moisture to the north is annoying. Hopefully that is wider (and/or) sets up farther south. 

Solid 3”+ now. Big fatties flying again. Beautiful morning 

Sweet spot looked to be East Liverpool with around 4”. I got about 2.5”. That evening batch came together nicely, and lingered a bit overnight.

Hopefully we can go thump to dry slot Wed.

These bands keep reforming NW of the city. I’m on the eastern side of it, but snowing pretty good again. Wouldn’t be suprised to see some 3” totals in Beaver county.

This is officially the worst r/s line screwing I’ve ever experienced.

I had maybe a 10 minute flurry then drizzle, and then nothing.

It wasn’t exactly life changing here on the good side. Pushing 2”, but not missing all that much. 

Very inefficient .5” after snowing most of the day…but this most recent batch after dark has been nice. About 1.5” total. 

Ripping nice - temp 33 but ground white. Still think north of the city can pull a couple inches. 

The key to squeezing out a couple inches today could be these temps.

The forecast temps are higher than the models but the obs this morning are tracking a bit lower. That might be a bit weenish, but I’m saying there is a chance.

Sunday looking a little better…I feel like Wed is trending towards a cutter.

Give me two clean, 8-12” storms and I’ll be OK with a sub 30” winter.

Enough to make the roads terrible. 

Amazing how temps impacted that. Today is really the first day since last Thursday that the roads havent been bad in at least some spots.

Boy that Buffalo forecast for 3-5’ show with gusts to 70 is wild. 

My bar for being “too much” is pretty high. But they are pushing it. Some of those videos looked more like natural disasters than a snowstorm.

-6 was a rounded figure. Was -5 on the daily climate report. Still incredible. 1.2” of snow too.

Maybe I got a little more, but if this is 1.2”, it’s the most impactful 1.2” I’ve ever seen. Roads look like there was a foot (in terms of impact, that is).
 

If they are measuring in an open area, that snow went somewhere else.

I guess the wind is screwing us - lol. Not sure how you do a depth if you mostly have under an inch, but have a nice drift too.

Most people that tried to measure reported between 1-2”.

Don’t know how much snow I got…probably under 2”….but I do have a nice 8-9” drift in the yard.

-4 now at the airport, with a 29 mph wind gusting to 40.

 

Wonder if the average person knows that the wind chill calculation changed. They might be saying “in my day we had 50 below”

well…this is it. That’s like -50 with the old calc

Tomorrow is -11, that will be hard.  Today is -3.  That’s much more doable.

I think he meant record low HIGH. Do you know what that is tomorrow?

Edit: looks like Tim just answered it

Not sure the last time we spent an afternoon below zero. Even some mornings in recent winters that it got to -8 or -10 climbed above zero the next day.

Looks like the radar filled slightly as the snow moves into Wash Co.  Not a lot, but enough to keep the snow going a little longer.

Yeah the intial “back end” would have been north of the city by now - but with the backbuilding, it hasn’t moved too far in the last 2 hours. Probably lighter intensity though.

KPIT is currently SN+ with temp down to 13. Winds gusting to 45.

KAGC (which seems notoriously windy) is gusting to 51.

KPIT Now down to 12. Went from 40 to 12 from 5 AM to 7 AM.

(I’m not really into chasing cold like a few of you are, but that is impressive!)
