Then have had 4 in 11 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 1 hour ago, TheClimateChanger said: Some of the models were suggesting YNG airport could get 16", and I checked and there has not been a two day storm total that higher there since November 1950. And compared to Columbus and Indy at a similar latitude, PIT has had way more big storms. Yeah, it’s not even close with Columbus and Indy. C-bus has been hurting as I don’t think they cracked 6” in like 7 years. We are in the game far more often, so take a lot more L’s. But the net result is more big storms than all of them. Like I mentioned before, YNG was on the NW fringe of most of our really big storms, even though they tend to swipe some of our mid sized ones.

I'll take the possibility of getting a blizzard of 93 or 2010 over scoring on the 6-12 storms more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo74 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Shoveled the 2-3” this afternoon in Ross. Interesting observation - the surfaces that got sun on Weds/Thurs had slush underneath. The ones that did not had ice. Probably about a half inch of sleet on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 This is a nightmare to clean up. Just sleet and ice underneath the snow. Only downfall of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Beautiful night out for a walk. Fluffy snow falling. Picked up another 1/2 inch tonight and still snowing. The ground has a sparkle to it with the fresh snow on top of the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 1 hour ago, meatwad said: Moderate to heavy snow here That band that went through earlier was sweet. Briefly heavy snow with big fluffy dendrites. Probably picked up a fresh inch with this latest batch, I prefer daylight snow unless it’s late season / marginal temps but watching those big fluffy flakes fall through the street light is fantastic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It is surprising how often these snows last much longer than forecasted. I love when that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo74 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Probably another inch since I cleaned at 5pm and thought it was done. Great surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It's kind of funny that in the end we are probably going to end up with 3-4 inches of snow after all is said and done, just didn't get there the way we thought we might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this happen multiple times in situations like this where it looks like the radar just continually back builds over us despite it looking like the cut off is about to move through. The radar just kind of blew up again. I've always wondered if this is a function of upsloping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't come to agreement until the day of. It was weird looking at the 12z GFS and CEM today and seeing that they seem to be 100 miles apart. I'm guessing they will eventually all come together but as always we get sucked into the the best one for us (GFS this time) If it comes down to the rain scenario at 33 mixing and changing to snow let's hope we can score at least 2-4 somewhere in there whether sleet or snow. (This is why we all criticize NWS for being cautious because it is the best thing to do) But it never fails that we all get sucked in days before hahaha!

Don’t know if we’re to far from appreciable slopes, but could be. I’ll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Official total at PIT was 3” yesterday plus 0.3” before midnight Thursday night. Not bad.

Very impressive. . Their official snow depth this morning was 5”, not their official total from this storm. At least that’s my interpretation of their post. Still, 19 days (20 including today) with 3” snow pack is indeed impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The other thing I’ll add regarding that stat is we also had a 20+ day streak of continuous 3” snowpack last year, and it looks like the only other time this has happened in consecutive years was 1977-1979, which of course are pretty much the gold standard for pack retention in our area. Also, even more mood flakes today after the sunny start. Regardless of what happens from here on out, this will not be a winterless winter by any measure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
