ChalkHillSnowNut Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Nice I was just about to start the new one.....surprised they're being so bullish with the WWA....is honestly be surprised if we saw 3-4" from the clipper....I was thinking more on the lines of 1-2"....

Yeah, 1-2 is probably what we'll see out of it. The WWA isn't for us. North and east will see a little bit more. Look at it this way, you and I will probably see more out of this clipper than we did that last storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Let me be the first to post in this thread. woops. 3rd to post in this thread. You guys are fast. Looking forward to 2 rounds of snow. 1-2 overnight and another inch or so tomorrow late in the day. Hope we can get the front to move faster this weekend to get some cold in here to change the rain to snow. As far as Christmas goes I could go either way as I have to drive the day after Christmas to southwest New York and I want good driving conditions so as much as I want a White Christmas I would rather have a safe driving Christmas. Last year was great as we had that big snow the day after that I drove just ahead of and had over a foot of snow after I got to my destination and snow all week. I would take that again. Then we still have January and February so I am optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It looks unlikely that we see a lot of snow but even an inch for mood snow would work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Anybody looked at the national radar mosaic? The precipitation shield is still west of lake Michigan, moving this direction, but its shape is surprisingly unchanging. Kind of odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdd9108 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Looks like precip is entering the area soon. Atleast with clippers we know its usually all snow. Maybe we can eek out 4 inches from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity08 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Looks like precip is entering the area soon. Atleast with clippers we know its usually all snow. Maybe we can eek out 4 inches from this. Not looking very good, unless that shield of precip starts expanding pretty quickly. As it looks now I'd say we'd be lucky to see an inch tonight from this. Maybe another inch tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hopefully 2 inches. Im seeing what you are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it looks now I'd say we'd be lucky to see an inch tonight from this. Maybe another inch tomorrow. And that's the downside to clippers. Usually we have no problems with it being all snow, but at the same time they have little moisture to work with. I never get real excited about clippers. Every once in a while you get one that overperforms, which is a nice surprise. Usually it's an inch or two at best around here. North and east tend to do a little better.

blackngoldrules Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Everything is coated here, as well. Not sure how long this is going to last, however. Not for very long. Maybe a couple more hours judging by the radar. More to the north of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Snowing moderate here. Roads are covered. http://trafficland.com/city/PIT/index.html Yeah, 25 and 30 DBZ over us right now. Once this moves through, it should end pretty quickly. At least they'll have some time over night before the morning rush to treat the roads after it ends.

blackngoldrules Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Had to run out to my truck to get something so I figured I'd measure while I was out. I measured 1.25" just after it ended. Off to bed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Anyone have an idea as to when we may get some more favorable teleconnections? Right now nothing is on our side; +NAO, -PNA, +AO. Rubbish. Is this warmup prolonged or just a respite before winter comes back? I have a funny feeling with the unusually wintry December, one of January or February is going to be warm and not-so snowy. Also I can't find a link for the EPO projections - anyone have one?

Rdd9108 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Well a lot of mets are up in the air. A good amount see the blocking trying to build up. Hopefully EPO can go negative again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a funny feeling with the unusually wintry December, one of January or February is going to be warm and not-so snowy. Also I can't find a link for the EPO projections - anyone have one? This is what I have been able to gather from reading the other forums, after this brief albeit major torch (could see temps in the 60s Sunday, nice way to vaporize a snow pack ) we go back to more seasonable temperatures. After we go back to more favorable temperatures, the storm chances will be more northern stream dominated for awhile before the split flow looks to possibly re-establish itself. All the while, the -EPO continues (possibly flirting with neutral or positive for a bit), albeit flattened out a bit, and may even be a pseudo +PNA for awhile. Long term does look to have a period of better AO and NAO however the extent and duration remains to be seen. All in all nothing points to a complete lack of wintry weather, but its not a perfect setup either. Given the time of year, I'll take temperatures near normal with clippers and possible return an STJ influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 SE ridge is gonna be in full force. Hopes for any type of white Christmas are zero. Hopefully we can see a huge storm this year but its tough living in Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 SE ridge is gonna be in full force. Hopes for any type of white Christmas are zero. Hopefully we can see a huge storm this year but its tough living in Pittsburgh. If the 93-94 analog is indeed playing out, that year had a big storm. Also, here's climo for Pittsburgh, which can be found on what is quite a good snow data page: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/pbz/tsnow.htm: FREQUENCY OF HEAVY SNOWFALLS Snowfalls of 16 inches or more...............once in 15 years Snowfalls of 13-15 inches or more............once in 5 years Snowfalls of 8-12 inches or more.............once every two years Snowfalls of 5 inches or more................twice a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
