Definitely a workout walking around measuring, but fun. Did you move on top of a hill simply to not be in a river valley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Yeah, wonder what the official reading is now? Two hours ago it was 7.3". Got to be over 9" by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Euro held serve last night, confidence in reaching warning criteria was good. Combine that with the short term guidance this morning, along with the right conditions, 8-12" was possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's why you should never have a knee jerk reaction to the models. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Don’t go gallivanting on Brownsville road! I cleared my truck off and took a short jaunt down Library Road to Rite Aid. I live a half mile away if that. Library was in bad shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burghblizz Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 For all our model drama over the last 36 hours, this performed squarely within the blend of the models. So while it might be a slight overperformer to most of the forecasts, there was plenty of model guidance to suggest a widespread 8”-12” in AGC The bust potential was the relatively progressive setup and the uncertainty around the banding. So I would have forecasted slightly less as well, but those factors worked enough in our favor. Had a solid 12 hours of snow, and some of those bands were intense!

OutnOakmont Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Just did my last measurement for the night and I'm pleased to say that it's reached 10" and is still coming down. I'm pleased as punch. What a great start to the season! And thank goodness I found this board to share the ups and downs of tracking this whopper... It was quite the rollercoaster ride. See everybody tomorrow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it for what it's worth but if we can get 1/2 to 1 inch hour rates per hour figure it out. This was from yesterday morning. The Canadian has been my model of choice the last couple years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Need to find you and meet up! My parents live off 88....I grew up thereYeah, I remember when you were "BethelParkSnowNut". I grew up in Westmoreland County then I moved to this area back in 1998 after I met my wife and she lived in South Park at the time. Lived there and Bethel for 21 years with her until she passed away last year. I thought about moving since but I like it here so I'm still here for now. Yeah, I'd like to meet sometime whenever you're in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
