Pittsburgh/Western PA WINTER ‘25/‘26

[Mailman]

The WTOD signature down here seems to be slowly going away.  But... I have to see it in real time not to believe it.

Things look to have trended colder and at this juncture every mile and degree matters so thats great to see. RAP looks like a mauling, the SREF are at 11inches 10to1 ratio. Let's bring this one home.

Allow me to raise your SREFs to 15"...

Bethel Park  has snow emergency from 7 pm tonight until 7 pm Tuesday. Only emergency travel allowed.

Well guys, let's bring her home. The majority of us have been on these forums in some capacity for 15-20 years. We know we don't get these chances often and we know how rare even a 12+ storm is. It's such a niche group but I'm thankful to have others who share my excitement over frozen liquid. Let's hope this makes up for all of the close calls, screw jobs and rug pulls over the the last 10 or so years. We deserve this one!

Exactly-so happy for the forum to cash in!

I do think this one has some overperforming potential.  It will be an interesting case study when it's all over with, and we can review how the microclimate handles these two intense competing forces.

I could see things going both ways, truthfully, so good luck to everyone and may your snow stay powder.

I can’t even remember what the forum was before this? I totally have forgot.

I have a little porch table that I used in 2010. I measured every 2 hours and cleaned off up until midnight. Then I measured in the morning. It’s supposed to be most accurate because a yardstick in the ground will have some compacting. 

Great thanks for the input.

[colonel717]

Snow looks to be close. Guessing in 9pm hour will start

[PghPirates27]

I agree, let’s enjoy this one - might be 10 more years before the next 12”+

Well we made it, radar is starting to fill in! Think its safe to say: 

Before we start seeing obs posts, Ill echo what others have said, we have a good group, its been busier in this thread than its been for awhile and a blast watching this take shape!

Indeed and everybody was mature and extremely helpful in tracking this thing. Incredible storm regardless of how much we receive

Can't believe the trends have been positive up to the start.  We might really be getting the big one again finally!  This is cool.

[ChalkHillSnowNut]

My start time per that graphic was 7-9….nothing yet-wonder if that’s good or bad it’s delayed a little….

[Ahoff]

High end is as high as it's ever been.

[colonel717]

Snow looks like it hit a wall before getting into PA

Dew point is still -6, I imagine that needs to raise a bit first.

I’m pretty sure central Ohio is just now starting to record snow obs. Definitely dry out there
