HRRR short term models looking good so far.

Euro ..........used to be........King. It needs to be re-crowned.

Normally I would be thrilled too but I think I remember the last storm the Euro and Nam had us getting some good snows and the GFS didn't and the GFS won out. If GFS is correct we get a quick inch and then slop sleet a couple hours to heavy rain. If the NAM, Canadian and Euro win out we get anywhere from 3-6 and a slower changeover in the afternoon. Hoping against the GFS. Fingers crossed. If we do get the 3-6 it will come in a short period of time with Heavy snow for a couple hours with good rates. Something we rarely ever see anymore in Western Pa. I would like to see it at least before the warm and rain returns later in the week.

Yes but the Canadian is looking better. 3-4 now up from 1-2 at 12Z.

Am I wrong to think we may be looking at a nice 2-4 surprise quick thump Wednesday morning before we go to freezing slop? I know these front end deals fail us almost every time but models looking better. Thoughts?

Just had a downpour of hail. Lasted about 2 minutes. Whitened the ground. Pea sized maybe a little bigger.

I just got back from Erie. Left at 2:00 overcast. Hit some light dusting snow from Meadville down to Grove City. Had 5 miles or so of heavy snow....big silver dollar snowflakes covered the road from 422 to Zelionople. Rain sleet snow mix thru cranberry and then straight rain from Wexford exit to home.

18 GFS 3 straight storms. 3 straight warm tongues. Lock them in.

Strong winds are here. House is shaking. Thank god we didn't get any ice. We should see our 1 inch or less of blowing snow tomorrow.

My current conditions 34 and The new winter normal.

2.75 here. Just shoveled my driveway. Just some light drizzle now. Looks like some mix in the morning and a lot of rain tomorrow night. Rinse and repeat

2 solid inches here. Still coming down. On pace for 3-4

Short term models showing 3-4 inches. Nice surprise tonight. Nice to see it snowing while daylight and we can actually see it.

GFS gives us 1 inch of snow and mostly rain thru mid next week. Canadian gives us 8 inches of snow. GFS has been better this year so I have to side with it. However I would take a compromise of the two.

This may happen as I am supposed to travel next weekend. Makes sense.

Hoping for some thunder this evening

All I need is one 12 plus storm and I will be satisfied.

A solid inch here. Powder snow great for skiing.

What I seem to remember more of in the 70's as a kid was more 2-4 inch like snows and than we would get back end snows of 1 or 2 inches on top of what the original storm gave us. Now it seem like the front end storms come as mix and rain and than we get our 1 or 2 inch back end snows on top of wet grass. I can remember being out playing in the heavier wet snow and throwing snowballs then the front would come through and the winds would pick up out of the northwest (which was the front) and then temperatures dropping and the wet snow turning to ice and dry powdery snow. Maybe the WTOD didn't make it up this far. I don't know but that's my memory.

Got an inch early this morning while I slept. I got 2 inches last Friday night and an inch Saturday night. 4 inches in the last 3 events and never saw any of it fall because it fell overnight.

CMC trending that way for Friday.

I agree with you 100%. To me wind chills of Zero or 25 below zero are no different. It's going to be cold. Bundle up or don't go out.

One thing you can be 100% sure of is the Greater Pittsburgh area will not be getting 10-13 inches of snow. Everything else is in play.
