This hobby is frustrating and for some reason I keep coming back. You missed Feb 2010? That was one it looked like we would miss again to the South, then the detour sign went up and the blocking confluence let up just enough and we got crushed. One that started getting better and better as we got closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrisburg, Philly are in the same situation. Denver and Harrisburg are not remotely the same lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fascinated me, unfortunately we have yet to get anything really close in the past 12 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Lol, this Steelers game is like this storm, at first it looked like maybe just maybe we might have a shot of at least looking competitive then the wheels just fell off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say that's a regular occurrence here, usually seems it upper 20s and freezing rain and sleet. These temperatures were unusually low for that mixing.

TimB Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 There’s a little band coming that might take a half an hour to pivot through and give us an additional half inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom and gloom crew was right, they can talk about it forever now, lol. Not even going to bother with next weekend. A damn shame to have the bitter cold forecasted for the end of the week with very little snow on the ground. That will probably warm up anyway.

KPITSnow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Speaking of the Steelers, my early prediction for next year is 5-12. They are actually terrible, and should have been about 6-11 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If the NAM called this so far we have to be optimistic that it will verify over night. I'm still thinking between 1:00 am and mid morning we will be pleasantly surprised with some more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Think negative and you will get negative. Its like golf. You need to optimistic. The Steelers are done. We all know that. We have snow to root for now that the Steelers are don. Pick up your heads. There is a batch of snow moving toward us and the back end will pivot and give us an additional 5 inches by noon tomorrow for a total of 8 inches which I will take. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NAM shows the dry slot filling in around 1:00 am and steady snow until lunch time tomorrow. It looks like 1/2 inch an hour rates which would get us there. Hey it's been the best model by far.

I dont blame the mets because there was enough evidence in the models to support their 8-12. Honestly, we can still get to 8. Low end, sure but we can still get there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm not going to rehash my story again but I've been through a lot personally in my life the past couple of years and I've learned that you can't sweat the things you have no control of. There are much worse things that can happen in life than missing out on snowstorms and I unfortunately know this all too well. I used to watch snowfalls with my wife out of our patio window. She loved the snow too. I can't do that anymore with her and it hurts. A lot. Always will. So, I no longer let this kind of stuff get to me anymore. Instead, I'd rather just enjoy a hobby now that I kinda got away from for a while. Enjoy the tracking. Enjoy the anticipation. Hope a storm can bury us. If it doesn't. I just move on to the next one. Whatever happens happens. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I may be in the minority but I have seen this play out too many times and someone said not to get your hopes too high or you will be disappointed. NWS has been 6-11 in their WSW message almost all day. They upped it to 8-13 for a short time early today and now they have 5-11. I have 3 on the ground right now so if we get 2-8 more than they will be right. I am still thinking we get 5 more between now and the end. BTW I am glad the Steeler season is over and can put me out of my misery. James Washington needs to be a starter. Maybe Rudolph will target him next year. Ok lets fill that hole in. I was looking for the detour sign but couldn't find it. We could us it. It worked 12 years ago lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at 3, can we snag 5 more? 8 was my bar so within reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
