TimB Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Sleet is up to about Bethel Park at 81, then we dry slot. Surface temps are still in the mid teens at that hour, so I’m not sure how badly we could actually mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel717 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I just shoveled that sleet from last night, couldn't imagine having to shovel that for whole storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been awhile since we've had a storm of this magnitude to track, but the NAM traditionally is the most amped. So it looked like a very NAM-like solution. Sometimes it's right, but if it's the only model showing the mix getting that far north, I wouldn't bet on it. Still a very solid hit areawide if the snow maps are accurate.

Burghblizz Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago The only thing NAM did was not give the warm and fuzzies of passing around 20” Kuchera maps. Don’t think it changes much at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago So just another solution. With each model suite it seems like the floor for this event is increasing. While idk if we see over 12, atleast 6 is looking more and more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel717 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I personally don't throw any solution out. I have heard too many times "its an outlier" only for it to be most similar to end solution. There is so much energy floating around what ever is the focus can change each run. I knew getting to the finish line on this one was going to be a struggle with some models ultimately showing things we don't like. What fun would it be if there was no angst... Enjoy the angst. Another Pens game tonight. I Like Ike by the way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you look at the icon on PW, you can see the mix on that one. However, agree. The thermals are rough on the icon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess more than 15 inches or more may do it. 20 definitely would if we are going back to 1800's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burghblizz Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago 27 minutes ago, Rd9108 said: Highest its been so far. How many inches get into the top 10 for a storm? I doubt we get there even in the win scenario. I think the official 10th biggest is around 15” or 16”. While the official total tends to be on the higher side when it comes to seasonal totals, it’s usually on the lower side with major storms. Storms like Jan ‘94 and Jan ‘96 are nowhere to be found, even though parts of AGC/Wash/Westmoreland got 20”+. I don’t think that’s what we are looking at here, but man it would be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel717 Posted 52 minutes ago Share Posted 52 minutes ago They are in Indianapolis and then dont get as much with GFS. https://x.com/bam_weather/status/2014368156240990484 BAM Weather @bam_weather The GFS is just wrong I am telling you all it's wrong trust me. Side by side w/the ECMWF right GFS left It's not handling this low and the phase correctly at all and it's on an island with how it evolves. It's a matter of time before it caves to the ECM. Just watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
