Burghblizz

Not doubting that there is 14” in Monesson or 15” in Beaver County. But we do see some decent spreads and I’m not sure if it’s the banding, or people measuring where wind is depositing more - lol. i have an easy 15” on my north facing back deck, but on average it’s more like 12-12.5” out in the yard.

Solid foot here in Cranberry. Saw a 15” report in Beaver county.

Trying use a “calendar day” and then assigning a frequency of something happening doesn’t really matter to me. Who cares if snow started at 6:00 PM one day and ended at noon the next? Of course it’s going to make the frequency of things look to be less if it’s a “requirement” to all happen in one calendar day. So that’s said - when we crack 12” within this “calendar day”, it’s a cool little tidbit. But that’s it. But anything that matters in terms of trying to determine how often something happens or where it stacks up historically needs to be event based.

If by big you mean widespread double digits, that’s an interesting point. A few came close, but those really big ones have all been in Dec, Feb, and March since then.

I feel like we have a nice spread of regular posters around the area. But if we plotted them, I’d say probably a few more city and points south compared to other directions. As others have said - great to have this sub forum back to what it’s been in the past.

I mean, it’s right there….

It’s a little windier than I would have thought. Seen 30+ gusts reported in some places and a bunch of 20+. Might be one of the reasons why the flakes have been a little smaller, but still extremely efficient.

I think the mix first moves along route 119 before anywhere. That’s the way it was modeled and starting to see that a little on radar. Connellsville was all snow still at last report.

10” reports in Beaver

You guys even got the wives’ paranoid

That doesn’t appear to be the truth on the ground

Pounding here and up to 8”. (1.5” last 45 min)

Only ice report I’ve seen is Fairmont. Would seem to have a good cushion still for most.

Already is. Huge slug to the SW

Seeing reports of 8” already near Butler airport. Crazy how that early band gave some places to the north a boost. Have to think there is more of that to come.

Just measured 5.5” in Cranberry

Everyone didn’t get as much impact from that initial band. That was like a training LES band for awhile

First NWS report was 3.6” as of 6:55.

Off and running! 4” so far.

Been in that band for a little bit. Looks like about 2” so far. Trying to get some sleep, but this woke my ass back up…

Today is actually the 26th anniversary of the Jan 25, 2000 storm. A storm that would have delivered snow to Harrisburg before Altoona as it retrograded from the east. Other than that…can’t really help you out.

Flakes in Cranberry

A few here seemed bothered by the virga, so figured I'd share a local met's explanation. I think he explained it pretty well. Lol The virga is a non starter. The precip wasn’t supposed to start yet. It’s not like we are wasting QPF

Could you imagine if the AFC championship game was here tomorrow? (it wasn’t that far fetched) The Steelers were in a 1 point game in the 4th quarter, with several blown opportunities already. The Bills were a play away from beating the Broncos. The Steelers beat the Pats earlier, so who knows what would have happened the second time. That combo would have meant a game against the Bills at home. My guess is it would have been moved to Monday night.

About a lot of snow? Yes.
