CoraopolisWx Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Up in Moon, everything was covered. At my house, well... it's trying at least. Precip over in central ohio has really developed in the last hour, so everyone above 900 ft should do well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Snowing pretty good here as well. Temps seem to be marginal at the moment so just a slushy slop building up on surfaces that were not already snow covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Looks like the mid level dry slot will pass well to the south, so that should help totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I just got in for the night. The side roads are snow covered and main roads are slushy. I am at a higher elevation so the snow accumulates up here faster. I had a feeling all day this storm was going to overperform. The Nam and Gfs were getting wetter each model run. My temp has gone below freezing at 31.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 That north wind really allowed the cold air to blast in here, roads have been covered for a couple hours now. There's a nice band from the south hills extending up through the east side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ended up with about an inch this morning. Looking at the GFS this might be our last snow fall for awhile. Things get pretty zonal into next week with the pattern. I don't see any extended raging blow torch anywhere but temps will probably tend to the upper side of average as apposed to below once the current cold shot gets pushed out. Also, for once the GFS is void of any fantasy blizzards, now what will we talk about!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, for once the GFS is void of any fantasy blizzards, now what will we talk about!? Picked up 2 inches here. It looks like a heavy band over the western part of the city may put down 1/2 inch of snow. Yes it looks to be cold and dry over the next several days. I don't mind the snow but at this time of the year I can do without the cold. Bring me a big storm or bring me warmer weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of that band is starting to affect the Greensburg area now. Snowing pretty heavily at the moment with big cotton ball looking flakes floating down. I don't mind the average temperatures, but this bitter cold stuff is getting tiring now. Of course as you mentioned, if it is acompanied by a big storm I'll take it, heck I would take it even with 2-4 inches every other day but just cold and dry I will pass on. Once we get into march, its gotta be big (6+) and hit at night for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enough to mess up the roads all over again. The sun is out here now. Yeah, it looks like this thread is probably going to get pretty quiet for a while after today. We've had a lot of storms to track for quite a while now, even though most of them have missed us. Now, things look to get pretty quiet on this side of the country.

These next 2 days are my toughest to deal with. Dry and cold. I would rather be tracking a big snow storm. If not it might as well be 40 and sunny.

If not it might as well be 40 and sunny. I know what you mean, I'd rather it be warm enough, where I could at least work on my car. Some folks point to our seasonal totals to us having a good year, but there's alot of fluff to those totals. Now i'm not saying that PIT is as bad as YNG when it comes to over reporting snowfall, however they seem to stretch the true amounts at times.

Now i'm not saying that PIT is as bad as YNG when it comes to over reporting snowfall, however they seem to stretch the true amounts at times. LOL....I don't think they have any motivation to exaggerate totals especially on 2" events. Also, it's their job, not just some weenie. Most of the events where spotters have reported have plenty of supporting evidence. The NWS in the past has seemingly underreported during some big events....but I think that has more to do with being west of town with storms where south and east got more. However....I agree 100% that it hasn't been the impact you would expect having 40" in early February. But that speaks more to the type of events. If it snows an inch overnight.....a half inch in the afternoon....and another half inch late in the evening, it's still 2". If it does that 4 days in a week, that's still 8". Sure, we'd rather see that 8" in 8 hours, but it's still snow that needs to be counted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Here, you guys might get a kick out of this thread about the gas line explosion in Columbiana County last night. What makes it particularly interesting from the perspective of our interests here, is the contributions of the flight attendent, laurelholley, and what that implies about last night's weather. How does visibility of 160+ across West Virginia grab you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Nice little snowfall this morning. Probably got about .25. Kinda hard to enjoy it though knowing its going to hit 50 in a couple days. Could be the last snow fall for at least a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
