The models were HORRIFIC with this event. Yes, they were correct a day or two ago, but had the evolution wrong as they gave us 3 or 4 inches yesterday, and that wasn’t close. Then they all backed off to nearly nothing yesterday. 

 

Now, it looks like I will end with a nice 6-10 storm,

Rates here aren't good enough to overcome late March climatology.  Dry air invading the southern edge.

I'll take my 2" and run.  Not a bust based on expectations, I guess, but not exactly great.  I'm done tracking for this year, though.  Wasted enough time as it is.  Glad it worked out for someone!

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
1015 AM UPDATE...The primary change with this update was to
expand the Winter Storm Warning to the rest of Westmoreland
County, as multiple 6 inch snowfall reports have been received
and an additional 2 to 4 inches is possible.

Wonder what the hold up is for agc. They've been real stingy with the wsw's lol, not that it even means much at this point.

I made the point above that it’s probably so late in the game it would just cause confusion. But it no doubt verifies

Just weird they would issue one for westmoreland when acg seems to be getting hit just as hard. Doesn't look like another 2-3" here is totally out of the question either.

Also think this is worth sharing. I cant remember a higher probablity of 8 in over the last several years. Its been trending up over the last 24 hours. A good sign.

 

I'm all in on this one. 6+ here we come.

I feel really good about my intuition :thumbsup:

Probably due to the eastern extent of the CWA versus the western extent of the Allegheny CWA. They would figure to be in it longer.

Im on the border, so I’ll claim it!

Makes sense. Haha I won't being in western agc but I'll gladly claim every snowflake from here on out. Maybe we can hit 50" with this then get ready for spring.
