The day of the tornado on Mt. Washington I was working on Bailey Ave. (Which if you're not familiar, is a little further out from the point, but has the same sort of view that Grandview does.)
I finished up, and when I got in my truck, turned on the weather radio and heard the tornado warning, but it was for points north and west, like Sewickley. I figured, hey, I have a great view from here, so I stuck around and looked at the sky for 10 minutes or so. I got impatient and thought, I'll never see a tornado, so I went home. Ten minutes later it tore roofs off the houses on the next street down the hill...
But I digress. Back to arguing about winter storm warnings, which for my 2 cents worth, just because an event doesn't quite achieve the criteria, doesn't mean it wasn't justified in the forecast.
Did the forecast amount of sleet factor into the difference between an advisory and a warning?
