    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.

    Lol - been snowing the whole time they been arguing
  11. Burghblizz
    Nice fresh 3” today
  12. Burghblizz
    Nice steady snow off this batch. Some nice bourbon in hand.
  13. Burghblizz
    If your in Columbus or Indy, it’s pretty lean on both
  14. Burghblizz
    Yeah, it’s not even close with Columbus and Indy. C-bus has been hurting as I don’t think they cracked 6” in like 7 years. We are in the game far more often, so take a lot more L’s. But the net result is more big storms than all of them. Like I mentioned before, YNG was on the NW fringe of most of our really big storms, even though they tend to swipe some of our mid sized ones.
  15. Burghblizz
    Interesting that they went almost 100 years with only 2 12” storms. Then have had 4 in 11 years.
  16. Burghblizz
    Yeah, love it. We are normally nighttime snow magnets
  17. Burghblizz
    Some nice bands blowing up again in AGC. Almost like LES but coming from the SW.
  18. Burghblizz
    Yesterday was like watching paint dry. Wound up with ~.30 ice accretion with the snow line agonizingly close for hours in the evening. I’m catching some of that Northern Allegheny band now. Nice fat flakes.
  19. Burghblizz
    I have to think they have had some since then (seems as though they have cashed in on a lot of our snow over the years) But fair thought - our storms since that got close or over that (‘94, ‘96, ‘03, ‘10) were considerably lighter there.

    Hoping to see reports of cold racing east
  21. Burghblizz
    Euro looks good NW of the city. Gives me about 8” (also about 20 miles from 4” and 20 miles from a foot )
  22. Burghblizz
    They should manually smooth that out. Doubt it plays out that way
  23. Burghblizz
    There definitely is a good chunk of the area that has a combination of trees and above ground lines - not a great combo. But severe ice storms aren’t too frequent thankfully.
  24. Burghblizz
    NAM slightly colder and also develops another wave. Taken literally, the city is in icy hell in between, but dropped the bigger totals a little closer from the north, and then developed another band of 3-4” snows south
  25. Burghblizz
    I think there will be last minute shifts that will drive us nut - But this is the accurate story to me as well. Since I’m a bit NW of that line, hoping for more snow. Certainly support for 6”+ N of the city - just TBD if that starts at 5 miles or 50 miles. We’d be in better shape if we get a little more eastern progression before the main wave comes and tries to advect warm air.
