ChalkHillSnowNut Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Changeover isn’t supposed to happen for our area until this evening....roads were icy up on the mountain here but all rain-maybe around 7-8pm we’ll switch over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Freezing rain at the time in the south hills. My commute (though only 15 minutes) was all rain. There was a sheet of ice on my car, but was all rain while driving. Car temp was at 33°. Currently at both airports (KPIT and KAGC) they are reporting 30° and light freezing rain. Watching the 850mb temp maps, it does appear that some of that warm air, whether it be through evaporative cooling or the ULL pushing closer, is being suppressed further south. Hopefully, we start to see some flakes fly in the next few hours and still pick up a couple inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All rain here, hovering just over freezing at the surface. Like others, there was a slight glaze this morning, not much else to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Light rain and 32 here. Some ice on the car this morning and some ice high up on the trees. That's about it. I could care less about ice. Hoping to see some flakes mix in this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 The surface temperature along/south of I-80 will likely rise above 32 in the next few hours so that a transition from FZRA to RA will likely be observed. This may be short-lived as the comparatively cold mid-level system enters the area. With colder mid-level air in place, precipitation will transition back towards a wintry mix, and eventually all snow. This transition will likely take place along/north of I80 by around sunset and elsewhere by 10PM or shortly thereafter. Snow accumulation will be highest in the north and along the ridges, where 6+ inches is possible. The Pittsburgh Metropolitan area will likely see varying accumulation from upwards of 3 inches along hilltops to possibly just a dusting in the vicinity of downtown PGH. Of course, exact amounts may vary on exact placement of mesoscale banding around the low tonight. Snow totals will be updated as needed. Snow accumulation will be minimal back towards eastern Ohio and the Ohio River Valley area of WV, where just a brief dusting is possible. && I wish the Canadian would verify. It shows a changeover to snow around 6 and some decent snows until 11:00 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Well HRRR and RGEM show a quicker changeover but who knows. Usually the warm air always wins. Let's remember its November and there will be plenty of time to be pissed about being screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stjbeautifulday Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Always right over our area. Weather.com has Crescent, PA getting 3-5 inches. That’s just changed. I’m stumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m stumped. Not sure how Weather.com makes their forecasts, but the HRRR is spitting out 5 in to come for the area. Not buying that, but i do think we have white grass tomorrow morning.

north pgh Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Sleeting here now. NWS has updated for earlier change. .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/... An early eve update was issued to adjust precip type as cold mid lvl air is generating a quicker mix/change to sleet and snow across the region. This transition will continue through the evening as the mid level slides over the immediate area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 We have maybe half an inch of snow at this point? I have to find some way to measure at this place for bigger events. At least we got some of the white stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 1.0" of snow and still coming down pretty hard. Wife said local roads were covered when she came home 30 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I ended up with 2.5" of snow. This snow was very juicy with melted equivalent of 0.31", that's about an 8 to 1 ratio. Total precip including melted snow was 1.05". Temperature ranged 33 to 32 in the 24 hour period. Now our electric is going off and on occasionally with the light wind picking up.

MikeB_01 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Branches on my trees are droopy today. Very heavy and wet snow. A couple of flakes still flying out there this morning. Eastern suburbs looking to get another quick hit here in the next half hour or so. Should look like a snow globe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Had no power overnight. Came back on around 8:00 this morning. Most of my Oaks still have many leaves so I have been keeping an eye on them. Lost some big branches but nothing serious so far. Picked up about 2.5 on top of the ice from yesterday.

PghPirates27 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 looks like 40's/mid 30's next 10 days (other than thanksgiving cold). The long range i'm looking at has 40's/50's and higher lows throughout december... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
