Probably rip and read from a GFS run.

This stretch is still impressive in its length of warmth for early season, but not so much in its extremes. I think I’m at like 86 right now. Storms Monday were no joke. I didn’t see any official wind gusts, and I don’t have a weather station. We had to be over 70 MPH gusts in Cranberry. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen wind driven rain like that.

If we could only get this kind of training and efficiency for a snowstorm.

Haha - I did say that. For a bunch of years it was the NFL equivalent of having non-losing seasons and losing in the playoffs. Got snow, but missed in the big games (storms). My positive spin was that at least we are practically guaranteed 20”+ regardless of how bad it was. At that point, it had happened maybe 1-2 times in 40 years. The funny thing is in the last 6-7 years we’ve had a decent group of 8-12” storms. The lack of those for a while was causing a lot of whining. But obviously 3 seasons in that period have been historically low overall.

I remember looking real close to make sure the white area made it all the way to the Ohio line (in retrospect, it was understated)

We’d be panicking that shit was sliding east

Ironically, probably 5 miles south of there got another 7-8”. (Which isn’t a ton, but for this year it will be decent % of the total)

I technically have this for tomorrow which is one of the more aggressively worded headlines all winter. I have to think though this is more intended for the northern half of the Butler County. Can’t see this being too great in Cranberry, but I wouldn’t mind some nice squalls.

A 50” February wasn’t *that* long ago. Also, what followed was 5 or 6 above average snowfall Februarys in a row - getting well into mid 2010s. At that point one could have said they are becoming snowier than January. Two bad years doesn’t mean winter has changed. 2022 was the snowiest March since ‘93. And like I have said - this isn’t disputing the overall impact of climate change. But local sensible weather (esp pertaining to snow) needs a lot more data to conclude anything anytime soon. At this point - it’s just two bad winters.

Wouldn’t be shocked to see an inch or two along the I70 corridor this morning. Healthy little batch of steady snow. That was modeled way south a few days ago

He still has this as his “pinned tweet”. Kind of silly at this point. Have to hope for a strong March.

Rippin here right now. Heaviest I’ve personally seen since yesterday. Great morning (although, not gonna lie, jealous of 6-7” 20 miles away)

Seeing also 6+ in Plum too. Which basically means that band…cutting through the center of the entire length of Allegheny County will wind up dropping 6-8”. Even though that cuts through a pretty populated swath, not sure we have a ton of posters that got to enjoy it full on. But still a pretty remarkable event.

It was kind of fringed, and the NWS is on Shafer road with is even a touch north from there.

Imperial - literally 5 miles from the airport. 6.5”. If I recall, they got the lake band too. People there are probably thinking it ain’t a bad winter
