Digger Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Mixed rain and sleet here in Hopewell. Slushy on the pavement. And yeah, tree branches breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It’s weird. It must be elevation too. I am in ross and I just took out the dog. My street and driveway are iced up. First salt truck just salted on our street. Some thin ice on the cars and trees. My temp is still holding at 31.8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 31.5° and pouring here. Definitely a glaze out there, but i dont feel like it is freezing up fast. Looks like sleet still at its heaviest up around Youngstown. CC lighting up like a christmas tree around there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 If anyone is still model watching for the rest of the night. I think we can throw out the 3K. Not initializing well with the precip that is currently falling. The swath of freezing rain is much larger than the thin line depicted on the model. So im not sure how well you can take it for the amount of snow over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect to wake up to 6+ inches of fresh, white gold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to pry open the doors but got them open. About 1/4” of sleet. Now all snow but very dry and small flakes. Been doing that for 20-30 minutes and no accumulation.

KPITSnow Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Airport reporting snow, but wouldn't be surprised if that was sleet. Tried to check traffic cameras out near there on the parkway but they are all out...maybe a power outage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went outside, and hearing the trees move in the wind with the ice is a real sickly sound. If it does this for a few more hours there will be massive issues.

If anything if needed use an early dismissal. tomorrow looks like atleast a 2 hour delay will be warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine kids are in school tomorrow. I think its ok that the called it for today. My temp sat at 32.7 all damn day. Imagine if that was just 0.7 cooler. Might have been way more issues.

donyewest Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 This sleet is heavy, woulda been great snow. Pet friendly salt works on the ice layer after shoveling the sleet though, so that'll be what I do before going to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yeah fair enough. I couldn't imagine if the front moved 100 miles further south east last minute and then stalled. Wouldn't have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Just came in from outside for a few minutes. Its bone chilling outside. Its pouring rain at 31.5°. Definitely a layer of ice out there. I was able to measure about .12" of ice so far on the branches. Hours to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 HRRR still thinking another .17 of ice and 3" of snow on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PghPirates27 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Starting a project today. Going to track last forecasted snowfall for each storm for my location and final measurement. Interested to see over 10-15 storms how accurate the last forecast is and if on average the forecast is high or low and by how much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Off to bed. The temps are definitely moving. I was dropping 0.2° every 2-3 hours for most of the evening. Ive now dropped 0.4° in the last 40 minutes. 31.1° and pouring outside. Stay off the roads and enjoy the beauty of winter tomorrow morning.
