Honestly, these are the types of storms we have been missing here. Obviously the 15+ inch storms are rare but the 8-12 inch type events our climo says we should get those every few winters....and we just haven't. I know if we got one of these every couple years it sure would make me less irritated when we fringe and get 3 inches.

The totals the short term models are spitting out for The Albany/Binghamton area are insane.

Looks like the Euro truly is king. Yeah, it did back off a bit, but it was showing these 10-14 inch totals while the GFS was showing 4.

Didn't even think of that. A massive crash with 50 people needing to go to the hospital, especially in Clearfield county would collapse the system.

And the there is a link you can use specifically for message boards to embed, correct?

Checkout some of the SWPA penndot cams. First two cams I looked at one dude was spinning out off the road...another one a guy was stuck in the middle of an uphill bridge. The guy that was spinning out almost got hit by a pick up flying by him.

Watching the penndot traffic cams...I'm seeing people slide off the roads, stuck, not sure why you would be out unless you had to be tonight.

I mean I hate to say it but doesn't surprise me. People drive like total morons in the snow...they think because they are in an SUV going the speedlimit is perfectly OK. I can't tell you how many times on our local subreddit you get people complaining about slow drivers in the snow....just slow down and don't kill anyone.

I literally don't believe it...the radar is filling back in south of Pittsburgh. We might hit a foot.

Only regret is that this wasn't a week later. WOuld have been perfect.

Radar returns are filling back in, and as the temp is dropping now getting better ratios.

Honestly, one of my favorite storms as a kid was one where we had heavy sleet for like 6-8 hours. Best sled riding I ever had. Then flipped to very heavy snow for the last 2-3 hours. Always wondered what I would have got if it stayed all snow.

I feel bad for the CPA folks. They are getting dryslotted and getting the WTOD.

As an area that has a TON of experience with overrunning, the mix line is almost universally significantly north of what is modeled. We've had times that we were supposed to stay all snow and the mix line would end up pushing north of 80 towards Erie. My experience is that unfortunately warm air always wins...the warm tongue of death is what we call it out here. @MAG5035 Not sure it is really similar to our overrunning event issues we always have, but I always assume a mix line is going to end up 50 miles + north.

Agree. This isn't one of those snows for 14 hours to get us 5 inches. This is snow at 1-2 per hour for 3 hours which is much better.

Heaviest returns moving out, but I probably got an inch in the last 30 minutes.

Can confirm that band in PIttsburgh is ripping.

Really not my best work.....

Radar is literally exploding pittsburgh north and west.

I was ready to cliff jump last night but we are getting pretty crushed out here. Some of us are probably going to break the 10 inch mark. Looks like a deform band might be forming just west of the city.

If anyone wants to bump troll me feel free....might do it to myself.

Some of us are going to hit 10 inches for sure. Deform band looks like it might be setting up just west and north of the city.

Awesome in the north hills. Would say 3-4 and coming down fast. Roads are a disaster.

That band is here and is ripping in the north hills. Glad I have a 5 minute drive home only.

Where are you?
