    With this morning’s low of 20 and above normal temperatures expected the rest of the month, we appear to have possibly clinched the 7th December on record and 2nd in the KPIT era (2012 was the other) where temps didn’t drop into the teens.

    It’s an operational model or whatever.

    None of those years start with 2. Strange.

    Cue the “and you know what happened right after 12/31/1992” comments.

    Half inch or so imby. I’d guess a lot of places, especially those that got the band this morning, picked up at least an inch. Official NWS obs as of 7am was 1.0”, so this thing met expectations on the official record.

    And ultimately, despite “different experiences,” the experience we’ve all shared last winter and the beginning of this winter has been largely the same and hasn’t been good. It has to turn around at some point, and hopefully it’ll be this winter, but it’s hard not to be cynical right now.

    Got a few tenths here. Better than nothing I guess.

    Ok ok I’ll stop.

    I mean, it’s not over yet (allegedly). But it’s definitely a crushing defeat for most of us if the bulk of the good stuff is done.

    I got maybe 0.1” that has already melted. I suspect similar for the official total at the airport. Glad the south hills and eastern suburbs cashed in, but it’s been a fail so far for much of the county.

    PIT reported moderate snow with half-mile visibility for a minute.

    But is retention a reasonable expectation in a Nino, even in the depths of a rockin’ winter?

    By the end of the week? It’ll be gone by Wednesday afternoon, maybe even tomorrow if we get any sun at all.

    Most of the negativity stems from the fact that we’ve gotten 18” of snow in the past like 21 months. We need something, anything, to get this train back on the tracks.
  15. TimB
    Are we allowed to be negative if the bands do set up in stupid places?
  16. TimB
    Snow. I’d be thrilled with .7 qpf, that’s like warning level shit.

    It’s gone back and forth, but the 6z HRRR and 3k NAM are showing 0.7” and 0.5” respectively. Is there anyone here who would consider those amounts a win?
  18. TimB
    Honestly the advisories in OH/KY are some of the weakest advisories I’ve ever seen. “Snow accumulations up to one inch, snow accumulations up to two inches, snow accumulations up to one half inch.” It just doesn’t take as much for them to get an advisory. Then again, even the ones for Pittsburgh’s northern counties are for “up to two inches.”

    Yeah, it’s really easy to move all of my family and friends and everyone I care about, most of whom don’t even like snow, to a place that actually gets snow.

    Now the amounts in the lowlands are back down again while they jacked up the amounts in the ridges. I hate living here. I’ll reiterate my position: anything more than an inch is a victory, anything less than an inch is a loss, but not an unexpected one.
  21. TimB
    Yes. 1” would be satisfactory. Falling short of that would be sadness.
  22. TimB
    Yep. This team is horrific. Fire/cut them all and start over.

    Western PA pro football is also lacking, though we’ll see if they can hold on in an important one. Edit: after a complete defensive breakdown on a broken third down play, I definitely have my doubts.

    Is it painful to think that Michigan or OSU probably prepares for a whiteout game in Happy Valley like they’re preparing to take on an FCS opponent?
  25. TimB
    I’m certainly not TCC or the other guy.
