RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Nothing like moderate to heavy snow as temperatures fall through the 20s. Enjoy it guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutnOakmont Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Moderate to heavy snowfall here in Oakmont. The switch happened about 9:45. Is it just me or does it seem like we were able to make the switch a little earlier than forecasted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burghblizz Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Mostly snow here now and ripping pretty good. Quick .5” of snow/sleet on ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed this too. NWS updated their graphic for expected snow and it looks like everyone is at least 4 in from this. All of AGC is 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 I took an hour nap early tonight so I will be up the next few hours. Hope to see some heavy stuff. Looking ahead Monday night 1-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 And of course, as soon as we all change over, the radar returns start falling apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB_01 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Looks like some heavier returns filling in to the south. I hope they hold. Big dry hole just opened up on radar over most of AGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB_01 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It does look like the waynesburg area is getting some good rates right now. If that can fill in here, we will have some good snow for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 We'll probably stay north of the 700mb low pivot point, so getting dryslotted looks unlikely. Still a good bit of moisture and energy to last through at least dawn, so at some point later on we'll probably get some deform action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should start seeing some really great rates shortly...as long as no more holes open up over AGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
