Rd9108 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 NAM still has us at 9 inches. Id be happy with 7 or 8 and hope for a big daddy come Jan-Feb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 NAM is interesting because it closes off, and then has SLP retrograde a bit. Not sure that has been depicted yet. It’s probably a little too late for that to have a meaningful impact as it had already begun to slide east and offshore. If it would have done that at the Chesapeake, then it could really mean something. Still all a computers imagination, so we’ll see what happens!

BigO60 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I’ve been following the radar, watching the snow line creep up. I caught this image on my weather channel app and thought it was classic Pittsburgh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe all that activity to our east is virga. No snow observations yet . According to radar we should be having snow any minute now in the south hills. Any confirmations yet?

north pgh Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just took a short walk with the dog. Snowing lightly here. The ground is frozen and hard so should start to accumulate quickly. I don't see any melting. Enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailman Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 14Z across the area, thE column is saturating as snow begins to reach the ground in many locations with some accumulations being reported in southwest OH counties and WV counties. Latest model trends continue to set up with the highest snowfall rates setting up across southwest PA and the WV mountains by 21Z and persisting int the overnight hours where some 1 inch per hour and possible higher snowfall rates continuing into the overnight hours. Additionally, trends seem to suggest the column remaining saturated enough through 12Z before losing the bulk of the moisture depth in the4 atmosphere, especially in the WV counties. Thus after 12Z, we should begin to see some freezing drizzle set up for a few hours before this transitions over to all drizzle and rain. Temperatures then will warm to just about freezing.

meatwad Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Snow starting to pick up here. Starting to stick to the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Another thing that we forget because we usually get nickeled and dimed is what decent snowfall rates look like. Already getting the larger flakes and it is also daytime too. usually it falls overnight and we can't even see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Entering the first - and hopefully last - dry slot of the day. Rates dropped off significantly. That first round put down a light coating on most surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
