  1. 30-31 and rain all day here hasn't produced much different besides a minor glaze on some trees if it is any consolation ha.
  2. It looks like it degraded a bit from how it looked yesterday. I will be out of town Feb 16-21 and am a big enough weenie that I booked this trip keeping the seasonal outlooks I read in mind (Warm Feb in La nina). Last time I've gone away during winter was 2014 and we came back the day after a 6-10 inch storm I believe. So if you guys cash in during the 3rd week of February you're all welcome
  3. For being a weak low pressure there is a ton of moisture transport with this thing. Pretty cool to see on the radar.
  4. Is that little wedge of snow nosing into beaver county legit on radar?
  5. 31 here with rain picking up. Nothing accreting on surfaces at this point.
  6. Isn't that a reversal from what it had been showing? Wasn't 3K the colder one?
  7. Completely agree with this. I wonder if that minimizes the impact until dark for most roads even in the spots where it is below freezing all day.
  8. Lull in whatever was falling here in Robinson. No trouble with icing yet. Temp says 33.
  9. When was our last significant ice storm? Was it late 90's? I can maybe recall losing power once over ice but I feel like big ice is rare for us.
  10. Looks a little colder and faster with the changeover on the 18z Nam.
  11. It seems to be shaping up to be such a tough forecast. With Allegheny county being the battle zone (again lol) I could see a scenario where I leave work west of the city with icing and by the time I get home I'm sitting in 33 and rain for another a few hours. Tomorrow night seems dicey so I certainly don't envy you if you do end up working. Hope things are safe either way for you.
  12. We already have some patients calling and cancelling tomorrow morning. Can't say I'm really surprised based on the timing of the Winter Storm Warning even though impact should be later on as you stated. I'm probably in wait and see mode about leaving/closing early tomorrow.
  13. Yea that agrees with the NWS point and click forecast too. GFS is the earliest with the changeover it looks like. This will be a tricky forecast for sure.
  14. 6z euro ticked north west a bit it looks like judging by tropical tidbits products.
  15. I'll take ice to a few inches of snow on the back end. 33 and rain does nothing for me but I can understand if you are worried about driving in the ice. Thursday PM commute may be a tricky one.
  16. It’s also south/east and earlier with freezing line pushing through compared to the 18z run. All I need to ignore the 12k run is the fact that hour 54 essentially has no precipitation anywhere in PA compared to its previous run where the entire state was engulfed. The nam often seems super inconsistent and jumpy to me. Don’t get me wrong I’d rather it show a big hit for us but I don’t think it should be weighted the same as the gfs or euro.
  17. That had to be a toss run just looks really wonky. 3k not finished yet but looks better
  18. The nam looks way different than the previous run and frankly way different than any other guidance in regards to precipitation on the back edge. I don’t know how much stock should be put in it. The gfs and euro both showed it still snowing at 18z Friday. The nam is like 12 hours faster. Also the gfs has a low pressure in Georgia the same timeframe the Nam has a low overhead?
  19. Obviously too early to know the final outcome, but let's say this does end up as 33 and rain for the majority of the area. This would be the exact type of storm that gets a bunch of people complaining about how you shouldn't trust the weather on the news lol.
  20. 3K looks a little bit colder but still plain rain through most of Allegheny county.
  21. They won't and probably shouldn't considering it is only 1 NAM run and we know it can wildly jump. If the GFS starts caving possibly overnight after the 0z runs.
  22. I tried not to get very interested in this storm so I'd probably be less annoyed than normal if that is the final outcome. I do think its funny that the local news has seemed to hype this potential at a longer range than the MLK storm. I was getting texts from family Monday morning asking about the storm that was coming. Must be because of the icing potential.
  23. I think there was a run last week where the NAM went from a bomb to almost a complete whiff for the Boston blizzard. And it was not very far out, within 60 hours I believe.
  24. I would think the GFS starts to tick back towards other consensus at this point but who knows. Nam looks significantly north at hour 48 compared to 12z.
  25. It was but we probably need 1-2 more of those ticks without going backwards. GFS seems to linger the moisture longer as well. ETA: I didn't see hour 78 at that point. I guess the Euro does have some lingering precip as well just seems lighter than the GFS on the back edge.
