meatwad Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 wow it just went to heavy snow. My temp is 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 What is warning criteria, I always forget, is it 6+ in 12 hours or 8+ in 24 hours? If so, we might get pretty close to the 6+ in 12 hours I think especially if the 18z NAM is right on qpf. Drive home should be fun. I will be heading North so should see the change over as I go if it doesn't make it to me before I leave. Where are you at right now that it hasn't changed over for you yet?

blackngoldrules Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm getting sleet now. I have a light coating of sleet on the grassy areas currently. Looks like I'm in the process of changing over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherman5416 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Looking at the radar, it looks like 45-50 dbz showing up in West Virginia panhandle. The intensity on the radar to me indicates that we will be seeing some high snow rates pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 All snow coming down in Bethel Park now. Big flakes coming down. I get to join the party now! Oh Yeah !!!!!! :snowman: From an untrained eye, there appears to be very little southern movement with the precip shield. So basically everything back into NW Indiana, is probably gonna have to make it's way through the metro area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Still sleeting and only light so far at my home in Bethel Park. The mix line must be cutting right through Bethel Park right now. I'm seeing light snow right now. It was coming down moderately about 10 minutes ago but has let back up since. Looks like sleet is trying to mix back in at times where I'm at, but mostly snow attm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Anyone think the 3-5 inch totals predicted by everyone will bust low? I have almost 2 inches on the ground here and still coming down. With snow back to Indiana you figure we have another 8 hours or so of snow. Could we see some places with a surprise 6-8 or so? Also, Anyone think the detour sign is helping to bring this storm over top of us? :whistle: :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 3-5 sounds about right for my area, since I just changed over recently. Maybe you guys to the north will end up seeing more since you got an earlier changeover.
