blackngoldrules Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Pitt is going to have get the ACC Auto Bid.. They lost any chance of an at large bid when they lost to Wake Forest. They were already on the outside looking in before that game. This was just icing on the cake tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 They lost any chance of an at large bid when they lost to Wake Forest. They were already on the outside looking in before that game. This was just icing on the cake tonight. Well first off, the pitt game stunk. Coming home was ok until I dropped my brother off in west view. 279 was fine but a couple of the side roads were borderline impossible. Also, getting back onto 279 north at the west view entrance was about the scariest drive I have done. 5 mph down the hill, and no control. Just basically let it slide down the hill to the interstate. Looks like the back edge is approaching. I'd say about a fresh 2 inches, and maybe another inch or possibly 2. South should cash in though.

It's gonna snow till at least noon Tommrow. I find it hard to beleive we get only 1 more inch. I'm north of u and I'm approaching 3 I'm north east of the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity08 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just looking at the radar its really hard believe its going to snow anymore than a few more hours. At least west of the city, the back edge is almost on my doorstep already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity08 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Winds really picking up. Just hit 2", if this is our last storm its a definitely a fitting end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just looking at the radar its really hard believe its going to snow anymore than a few more hours. At least west of the city, the back edge is almost on my doorstep already. Agreed...back edge is sliding through beaver county. That said, the short range models do seem to want to hold onto at least light precip the next 10 hours or so, and also ramp up intensity a bit towards 6-9 am. Not really sure what to make of it.

SteelCity08 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I think south and east of the city should hang on. Its already stopped over here, not much hope for it to start back up again either from the looks of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 4" in monroeville so far. Parkway east is almost impossible. Looks like a back mountain road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Snow just tapered off here. Eyeballing looks like around 3-4, I'll go out shortly to measure. Did its job though, all schools in the area are closed. With temperatures in the teens even though its not a lot of snow it really did a number on roads. Probably a layer of ice under everything too with all the rain / runoff yesterday. 6 year old daughter is rejoicing in her snow day since March has no Holidays off other than the weekends lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Done here too. Probably about 3 new inches. On the bus to work because didn't feel like driving. I'd imagine areas near Morgantown end up with near a foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstaude Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Finished up here in the West End as well. 2.6", most of which seemed to fall before midnight. Roads are nice and open (at least the mains!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity08 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Finished with 3.5. Had a two hour dry slot that didn't do me any favors. My total seems pretty consistent though so good enough. South hills had to of gotten close to 6. They were getting pummeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We may or not have another chance for a snowstorm but if this is the last one. The result is very fitting for how the winter has gone. About 4ish here and my road is impassable in my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel717 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Got a little over 5 in Bethel. Definitely got less as I drove to work towards Robinson. Looks like around 3 here. See nothing on the long range so this could be it for accumulating snow. If so see you all next year as we continue to hope for our first region wide at least 8 inch snowfall in years. Edit My total was as of 7am. So looks like it is still and has been snowing at my house so maybe end up with close to 6. The cut off currently looks like it is less than a mile from my house.

psunate1977 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Got close to 5" here. Still coming down. Roads are impassable. This was a nice little event. Not going to lie, once we spring forward I usually switch to wanting warm temps. Soccer starts next week and we could hit 50, so if this is it I wouldn't be upset. We fought with each other, but it was a decent season. Learned a lot. Hope we see some nice thunderstorms this spring/summer.

psunate1977 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Look to the west. That will fill back in soon. That is either false returns or cold air being picked up. Latest observations from Ohio shows nobody is or has been reporting Precip http://forecast.weather.gov/obslocal.php?warnzone=OHZ055&local_place=Columbus%20OH&zoneid=EST&offset=18000 Precip looks like it moved off.
