Mailman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 It's pretty nice to see snow while we're in single digits. Don't think that happens very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'd be surprised if I see more than an inch out of this judging from radar. Looks like that heavier band is going to pass just to my South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Any chance we see some more snow squalls after this storm goes through? Maybe Wednesday morning with the passage of the arctic front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like that heavier band is going to pass just to my South. Yeah looks like it is just south of the metro also. Im guessing an inch if we are lucky. Oh well we are used to disappointment.

Burghblizz Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Move to Boston lol. Honestly, even our big storms, we max out at about 2 inches per hour, and that is a short time frame. Even at the height of March 93, I think we were at about 2 per hour. The northeast storms seem to consistently have stretches with 2-3 per hour rates. I'm guessing just the dynamics of an exploding coastal and moisture fetch off the Gulf Stream make that possible. Nah - we were hammering 3" per 3 hours in a row in '93, and had 4" per hour rates in '94. So it can happen. Just not often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Missing that heavier band to the north; have had some dry-slotting issues but it hasn't actually stopped snowing, just not very heavy stuff. Looks like it is the disconnect as the low redevelops off the coast? We may end up with lesser amounts than Washington county. I would just laugh, honestly.

north pgh Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Up here it is the same story. Very light snow. Maybe picked up 1/4 inch if that. At the rate it is snowing should probably get 1. Judging by radar maybe 3 in the south Hills? That would be your 1-3. Temp is holding at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Getting some decent snow coming down now, maybe almost moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah looks like it is just south of the metro also. Im guessing an inch if we are lucky. Oh well we are used to disappointment. Not that any of us had had a really big event but thus far its been like an I-70 North winter for a lot of events. Given that I'll take a little less so those guys can play some catch up. Hope those EPS maps you posted earlier are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Been on the northeastern fringe of that heavier band that set up just to the south. Scraping out about 2 fluffly inches here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailman Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 About 3" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel717 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Right around 2 inches in Bethel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Measured 2.5" total. Had 1.5" at around 10:30 last night, so another inch once the rest of the bands rolled through. I heard Washington measured 3" around the same time last night, so looks like they were the winners because of that big band. We had dry slotting issues. At least WVU beat Kansas. Overall I'd say it was a partial bust only because I wasn't really expecting less than three inches. Even though it snowed for ~12 hours, the clipper from early January put down just about the same amount of snow in a third of the time. This must not be our year.

Rd9108 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hopefully tomorrow we can see another heavy squall. I missed the saturday one because I was working but I won't miss tomorrows if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I think if we are gonna score a big storm its gonna be within the next two weeks. Gfs doesn't like the sunday storm, but the CMC does. Also the CMC shows our fabled APP runner for next week. A lot to track and with there being no end in sight in the next two weeks. I think we can score something noteworthy.

Rd9108 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 One more thing before I head to class. Tomorrow looks interesting. The energy in the trough is rotating around and going negative. Bernie explains it well in his video. Maybe able to squeak out 2-3 tomorrow. http://videowall.accuweather.com/detail/videos/current-weather-news/video/3901417444001/cold-additional-storms-to-imp?autoStart=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 February sun angle for the loss today. That light high ratio snow the fell last night (picked up about an inch) is fading fast, especially in the areas that were bare before hand.

Polar Vortex 2014 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Crap. Another 2 to 4 inches? Where did this come from? I don't see any advisories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Crap. Another 2 to 4 inches? Where did this come from? I don't see any advisories. Cause our climo is nickel-and-dime-o! Actually it's the passage of the arctic frontal boundary; evidently it may go negatively tilted to create a sort of super clipper. If 3" verifies down here that would be our biggest storm of the season. Not sure about advisories - maybe they were holding off until the 0Z model runs.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This looks familiar: Lets hope this ends up a bit further east, which is possible given the progressive nature of the pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn't look right with this set up. As much as I expect it let's see what happens after tomorrow's storm goes by.
