It's been an incredible 1,348 days since the last calendar day with 4" of snow. You have to think eventually that breaks, or do you guys think it is no longer possible to see 4" of snow in a single day at PIT?

Lol - “no longer possible”.

Calendar day records can be deceiving for obvious reasons. Obviously, this is a sign of slow stretches overall. But nothing helps to inflate “last time since” like a calendar day view. I can see why you like them. 

For example - the stretch leading up to ‘92 was (anecdotally) the slowest of my lifetime. The good news is that just like the ‘78 stretch, epic weather broke out after that.

That ‘92 storm was great and disappointing all in one. There was a thump with a primary low, and a bomb on the coastal that was far enough south that it looked to hammer us as it came up the coast. But it was just a tick east. So the airport total was way low. City got a foot, 12-18” southeast, with 3’ in the ridges. It would be a “what could have been” storm if this board existed. But there were places in the southern and eastern suburbs that went on to crack 15” 3 times over the next 13 months.
