Rdd9108 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Id say four at the most and thats being generous. We had a few mornings where a coating to an inch fell. Good news is that can all change with one good storm. Too bad the next big storm THREAT seems to an I95 and coastal plain storm if anything. Seriously when was the last time we got a storm of 6+ and 10+?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 WRT to the NWS in Moon, they have 24 hr staff available to take measurements. Plus I'm sure their snowboard and it's location is setup so that they don't lose a flake to outside interference. So in just 2 1/2 months that can make a difference.

jwilson Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I've measured 4" this winter, all coming in that one week. I'm not anticipating finishing this winter with more than a foot total, the pattern is just dreck and is struggling to change for the better. In all fairness, though, both February and March could produce plenty to get us to average. Right now I simply have trouble seeing that happen.

Thats insane its been that long. I hope the current storm can come closer and closer to the coast and amplify but we know how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Looking like a decent swath of snow in eastern OH about to make it across the border into PA. Probably won't amount to much assuming it even holds together given temps will rise above freezing but should make for a nice scene outside. The clipper for tomorrow looks a little more impressive on the NAM, maybe .2-.3 but temps will likely limit accumulations. The 24-25 storm probably has little chance to effect us. That damn clipper in Canada should serve to kick it SE, now if that is further North, slower, or faster so it can phase in then who knows, maybe we can get some light snow out of it.

I have been watching this too. I think unfortunately it will be here around 12-2 and judging by the Hrrr it will be warm enough for some more rain-snow mix and will only accumulate on grassy surfaces if that. Yes tomorrow looks better if we can stay cold enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 GFS comes a bit further NW with the 24th storm, but nothing that effects us. I'm going to say its about time for the Euro to get all wound up and show an apps runner now lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if I am I-95 people I would be worried about a supply of cold air. This storm really needs to wind up for the storm to create its own air. Still a few days. I am also watching the 25-27 storm. I am rooting for snow, its been too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdd9108 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Rain, rain, rain is all I have to report. Disappointing. How far south is brownsville? We may get an inch here when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhead Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 How far south is brownsville? We may get an inch here when all is said and done. Parts of Brownsville, close to the river, have lower elevation, which could be causing the precip to fall as rain. Morgantown airport (elevation 1200 feet) is at 40F but reporting light snow.

blackngoldrules Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Well, I was on the South side and now I'm in Homestead. Nothing accumulated at all. Not even on the grass. Just a wet snow that moved through these areas. I'm guessing Bethel is probably the same. This is probably another case where you had to be north of the city to get accumulation or be at a higher elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psunate1977 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Snowed here pretty good. Grass was pretty covered. Roads were wet. Now sun is peaking through and snow is starting to melt a bit.

Plumres Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Two inches in the grass in Plum, Pa. One and a half on the roads and driveway. The road crew just went by with the plow to get the snow off the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 When I left greensburg most of the snow had melted, by the time I got home there was about 1 to maybe 1.5 inches on the ground.
