    Nice band coming through with some blowing snow. A little Icing on the cake.

    ‘93 of course. Westmoreland and Fayette had them during the second (smaller) storm in February 2010. While the totals were more modest than the first one, the winds were howling. Before ‘93, it would have been one of the Jan ‘78 storms. And before that, Nov ‘50, unless one of those bigger ones in the 60’s had the criteria. But of course those days were different as far as warnings and criteria. But I’d say that’s a quarter century type happening.

    I moved to Cranberry this past year (SW corner of Butler county, but only a few miles from Beaver border). No, snow wasn’t the reason, but being a little shielded from the WTOD was in the back of my mind :-)

    Based on the number of 8” and 9” reports in AGC, it definitely hit the “8 in 24 hr” warning criteria in Allegheny and certainly Beaver and Butler. The public forecasts were very much validated, even if on the low to mid side. I also thought eastern suburbs did what I thought. Just thought city and west would avoid the dry slot, but wasn’t meant to be.

    Nice regional breakdown of updated totals. Mostly 8+ In the immediate Pgh area. You can see our 12+ that just slid west, but also where the lower totals were SE.
  6. Burghblizz
    Maybe - but it can work the other way too where the measurement was where the snow drifted from. But good point as far as another reason that the numbers are all over the place.

    Seeing some 9 to 11” reports out east of the city up the 28 corridor towards New Ken. The orientation of the heavier reports is less to do with longitude, latitude, and elevation, and likely more to do with rates and banding. (speaking within Pgh metro that is)

    It definitely was an important part of framing up the final result.

    It’s Shafer Road in Moon - which is like a mile from the airport. So it essentially mirrors what you would see there.

    The NAM was good with showing that there were going to be P type issues even north and west - but I’m not sure I give it too much credit because a wide spread Western/west central PA ice storm really didn’t materialize. Just a lot of mixing and flipping. Most areas around Pittsburgh look to be finishing 7” to 10” once this morning tapers off. The real prolific stuff got shunted a little more west, as the WV panhandle and extreme western PA should pop some 12” totals.

    The radar pivot and banding last night was awesome. I can’t see that .47” at the airport being accurate, but I don’t think a 2” hour was out of the question. I caught more the tail of that same band and it was rippin. A line from Weirton to Beaver falls will break a foot. That area did better with avoiding a prolong dry slot before everything pivoted. Most of the rest of us got caught up in it a little too long. Still a beautiful morning

    Got a couple hours of sleep bit woke up to some great bands. (By the way, I should have taken King Weenie’s bet since NWS total is closing in on 7”, and it looks like some 30 dbz are about to rotate in there.
  13. Burghblizz
    Radar filled in finally and pivoted. Been cranking for the last couple hours in Cranberry. Just passed 5”
  14. Burghblizz
    Dumping - back to all snow in Cranberry. 2.5” and .5” fresh during the 20 min I was just walking the dog
  15. Burghblizz
    It’s ripping here, despite what K-weenie sells. Been occasionally mixing, but heavy snow at the moment and still early on.
  16. Burghblizz
    As far as actual weather and not the weenie fest… When you have a strong 925 jet advecting into cold air, you have the recipe for some intense rates. But might have to flirt with some sleet to get it.

    Heavy snow in Cranberry. 24 degrees. Wind driven smaller flakes have turned to big fatties
  18. Burghblizz
    More wind driven and powdery than I was expecting to begin with
  19. Burghblizz
    One cat basically so weenied out that it makes it MA thread vibe. But they have like 20 like that

    Keep those southern obs coming
  22. Burghblizz
    If we can avoid the snow cone, the blowing and drifting might be understated to this point
  23. Burghblizz
    That’s my plan too. Sleep during dry slot :-)
  24. Burghblizz
    That’s the plan! (but I plan on a fun night regardless)

    Yinz are going to drive yourselves nuts clicking on hourly increments of hourly models for the 8 hours, and checking where the pretty colors line up. I think E to W across central AGC will be the difference between 8 and 12 because of dry slot duration. And N to S along that axis will add or subtract ~2” from that range. Beaver /Lawrence/Butler certainly have a shot to pop a 15” total.
