Just five more hrs of this and we'll make up for Tuesday. Lol

Had some impressive rates for about 20-30 minutes then it lightened up. Looks like a really heavy band of 40dbz returns worked its way though Allegheny county, but its falling apart as it moves east from the looks of it. Got about a half inch so far.

You know this is the Canadian and this model nailed the other storm for our area 6 days out so I will keep an eye on it. Could be a good front end dump before changing to rain. We haven't had one of those is a while.

Wasn't this much snow but I ended with 2.75 and some of the heaviest 1 hour snow event. Canadian does the best again I believe.

Looks like by end of the week we start moderating temps. 70 on Saturday?

As much as I hate to see the end of Winter, I'd welcome it at this point. Not realistic to expect much snow from here on out, and if we do get some its usually gone within 24 hrs anyways. Starting to get the itch to get out into the garden and spend some weekends outside.

Agree 100%. Outdoor track event to go to on Saturday. Would love 70 but will take 60's.

JB says delayed spring in April. Winter returns.

He also said Penn State was going to win 4 games last year. Didn't he say Feb was going to be real snowy?

 

I usually think JB does a pretty nice job of predicting. He missed February big time, but called March pretty well. A few weeks ago he was talking about how he thought April would be pretty warm. Now he changed his mind?

Anyone else have some predictions for April? I am ready to fertilize my grass and get spring started!

 I think he's funny. He used to be a good forecaster until his cold bias developed to the point where it's now completely out of control. I only follow him for the fun of it. He sure is a good spinster though, which I do admire. Anyway, he blurted out something last week in one of his videos about winter returning to the eastern US for the first half of April. Then I think he broke into song, as he often does. Maybe he had just finished building a snow woman in his yard from Stella's remnants, made passionate love to "her", and managed to go into hypothermia right before he made the video. That might explain his confused state.
