CoraopolisWx Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 One positive is the surface wind is more sw than se. That se wind usually dries and warms faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Right now the rate/temp/sun angle is such that i would go backwards in snowpack if this continued all day. Looks like an average of 3" around the area so far based on the most recent obs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel717 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I am surprised its starting to accumulate on the roads again. Plow just came and salted and roads were nothing but wet for about half an hour, now I see places where it is starting to lay again on the roads and its only a light moderate snow.

Jen16226 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Up here in Ford City, Armstong County, I have 3.5 inches so far.At about 10, the snow slowed down and has just picked back up in the past 10 minutes.It is still 28 here.My mom lives down in Apollo and says it was raining about an hour ago.

Sent from my iPhone I wonder even with a more southerly wind, you still might be getting a slight downslope, enough to cause more rain.Some of the p type radars are showing this, parallel to the ridges.

Thunderhead Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 OK, it appears that the GFS was too warm around 925 hPa , at least for 12z today from the 6z run. Even the 12z run apparently intialized a bit warm. Still think Greene Co., Morgantown switch to rain this afternoon. Morgantown reported rain/snow mix at 11:36 a.m. PIT could very well remain all snow...although I don't think rates will be high during much of the daylight hours.

tsteel Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I measured about 3.5" as well here in Butler County, and it has been all snow. It appears that many of the forecasts for today are going to be wrong as far as the rain/snow line placement and also where the heaviest snow would occur.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Still all snow here, when the rates slow down the flakes are rimmed and almost sleet like but when its heavier the flakes are still decent. I think one saving grace today thus far at least is that we havent had a lull in the precip for several hours. I measured about 3 an hour ago. Seems like the ligher rates are having a hard time sticking to cleaned off surfaces now which I expected anyways with temperatures rising over freezing espeically duirng peak daylight hours. Fingers crossed we keep the warm air at bay this time. Even though its light sure would be nice to watch it snow all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Pleasantly surprised so far. Still all snow in Bethel. Temp is 35, imby. I'm still waiting for at least a mix to take place here. Almost always does. Maybe I'll get lucky for a change. I probably just jinxed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
