They cut totals by an inch in the warning as well. 3-5" instead of 3-6". Did add localized amounts of 7" though. 

Also pushed the change over to all snow back to 2am. They have been pretty good so far with this storm. Never budged yesterday when a lot of models were pumping out more of a 6-8" scenario.

Winter Storm Warning

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA
1216 PM EST Fri Jan 12 2018

...DANGEROUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING...

.In the wake of unseasonably warm air and heavy rainfall, an
arctic cold front will blast across the area this afternoon.
Temperatures will fall sharply from near 60 degrees into the 30s,
ultimately falling into the teens by Saturday morning with wind
chills near zero. As the colder air moves in, warm air aloft will
result in a period of freezing rain. Freezing rain, coupled with
standing water, will result in a flash freeze this afternoon and
evening. Ice accumulations could be significant enough to damage
branches and power lines.

Freezing rain will then tranisition to a period of sleet before a
complete changeover to snow tonight. Snow could be briefly heavy
at times overnight. Accumulating snow on top of a sheet of ice
will result in extremely dangerous if not impossible driving
conditions into Saturday morning.
