    Eyeballing 2-3 on the deck rail. Coming down at a moderate rate at the moment.

    Things still on track. Surfaces should be plenty cold and very early morning timing will maximize accumulations. Im still thinking 2-4, with maybe a 5 lollipop if somewhere manages to maxmize ratios and banding, but overall progressive nature is going to limit that potential. Will be fun to kick off the season!

    I'm here for some clippers, get them to dive underneath us then reinforce NW flow behind them over the warm lakes and you are looking at almost daily shots of snow.

    Looks like we are honing in on a 2-4 type deal. Not bad for early December if it plays out that way We lost our oldest dog in early November this year, playing in the snow made him so happy. No doubt taking the other 2 out to play will be bitter sweet for the first real accumulating event.

    I feel like I've been asleep at the wheel, just getting caught up on the upcoming threats. It was nice to have a cold / snowy Thanksgiving. Looking forward to tracking with everyone this season.

    I had one of those! I had it strapped around the handle bar on my bike to make sure I was home on time for periodic check-ins. That thing sat out in rain and many bike wrecks and took a licking and kept on ticking! lol Completely forgot about the thermometer part!

    Enjoying the summer so far, it's been a great season for the pool this year. Warm water just about all summer (thanks to all the 90s). Pretty decent lightening show on the way to work this morning. Summer is cruising along. The older I get the less I look forward to the end of summer and fall and the start of Winter and he Holiday routine but don't worry I'll be in top form by November . This Farmers Almanac outlook would be sweet if it verified (probably as likely as the 384 GFS)

    Pretty detailed write-up here: 40 Years Later: The May 31 1985 Tornado Outbreak I was living in Sarver, PA where the one F3 lifted at the time, pretty young but have some vague memories of that event. Probably a contributing factor to why Im on a weatherboard today. Also probably why this was my favorite book as a kid.

    Looking at the radar, feels like a winter storm, watching the heavy returns creep NE. Your not wrong. Sunday looks nice, then we should get a taste of summer.

    Wild ride in this morning through Allegheny County, roads closed, miles and miles of neighborhoods without power, no traffic lights / street lights. Debris everywhere. Some places looked like war torn hell-scapes.
  11. RitualOfTheTrout
    Yeah, maybe plateaued right around Allegheny line, still 72mph gust nothing to sneeze at. Tree down in the little wood strip in my backyard too.
  12. RitualOfTheTrout
    Hey appreciate the Met post. I see you are in OK, did you used to live around here or just following the severe outbreak?
  13. RitualOfTheTrout
    Power was out about 5 minutes here, back on for now. It was pretty erie for about 5 minutes before it hit, power was flickering while it was still sunny.
  14. RitualOfTheTrout
    Looks like it, barring some last minute weakening its right in the bullseye. Hope I can get dinner off the grill in time!
  15. RitualOfTheTrout
    Just making my way through the comments now, lots of reports / pictures of some pretty crazy stuff out of New Kensington. At least I know I wasn't seeing things lol.
  16. RitualOfTheTrout
    Not going to complain about missing a tornado. Lol Still not sure what we saw. The clouds were moving so fast on approach so maybe it was an illusion of perspective or something, but it sure looked like a very broad area of rotation high up in the approaching cloud deck. Won't forget this one for awhile!
  17. RitualOfTheTrout
    That cell that just went through here just got warned for tornado... Not suprised. My son and I were watching the cloud deck approach and I swear it looked like we could see the clouds rotating, or almost moving perpendicular to the storm morion, then all hell broke lose. May have just dodged a bullet.
  18. RitualOfTheTrout
    Thats a negative.. about 60 seconds of insane wind and hail, complete white out. That was intense. I thought the windows were going to get blown out. We don't typically get hit straight on like that.
  19. RitualOfTheTrout
    Odd cloud movement with these storms. In-between two bands, getting some light rain now. May be enough to take some of the bite out of the main line, but time will tell.
  20. RitualOfTheTrout
    Most of sliding just to south of me, still had a enough to get a coating. Looks like some pretty good returns in western Allegheny.
  21. RitualOfTheTrout
    Coating on the grass here with light to moderate wind driven snow.
  22. RitualOfTheTrout
    Yeah, it seems like lately our region is divided on bigger storms. That Jan 94 storm track was perfect. Really an unusual distribution of snow.
  23. RitualOfTheTrout
    Yeah, I was going to say December 2020 was definitely double digits. I got stuck at work with an issue that day and drove home after 11pm so that one sticks out but must be skewed by the "single daily" total. That makes it more like 4 years which I'd say is more inline with our statistical odds of that type of event. It doesn't do anything to satisfy the big storm itch though.
  24. RitualOfTheTrout
    I enjoy the little snows, especially if it stays cold with snow on snow. That being said we are about at the end of realistically keeping snow on the ground so by early March Im much more interested in a bigger storm. Jeff V had a stat today our largest daily snowfall is 2.6 inches (midnight - midnight) and that was last weekend.
  25. RitualOfTheTrout
    Had one blow through here, lasted almost 10 minutes. Snow was legit heavy. Looks like another round moving in now.
