Burghblizz

Got 3.5” total last night. Didn’t happen exactly the way I thought, but definitely did the job of freshening up the snowpack.

Another nice band dropping into SW Butler county and entering northern AGC. i got a coating of pixie dust off the initial system, but probably will be close to 3” total off these LES bands.

POUNDING here. 2” last hour

Mailman and Chalk Hill look to be getting the good stuff

This “higher end” product is something.

NAM giving Mon Valley a chance.

So basically Canada against the world Sunday. Haven’t put a lot into that, so that would be a huge bonus if it verifies

Yeah - I saw some yellow popping on radar (then watched it slide south of me)

Is your house on one of the runways at the airport? There has been a lot of localized banding during this period, and one decent storm that had a sharp cutoff. I’m probably around 18-20” for the season here.

It going to pivot to be more snow showers and less uniform. Looks like the first decent band incoming.

Meanwhile - it’s thumping now

Good NWS discussion today. Basically saying that even though there may not be a widespread 3” average to meet advisory criteria, the cold temps along with Tuesdays road issues helped build the case. It should be flexible based on impact. I think we see a high floor with totals today(2+). Good ratios, and interested to see if there is banding later.

Nothing major, but daytime snow on snow is nice.

It has snowed every day in January so far.

I think preparation is still a function of total snow forecasted. Usually a forecast of an inch or two has pretty minimal resources needed. But having it fall steadily over 4 hours when it’s 15 degrees is something different. Not sure if they just look at forecasts or actually consult with someone. Steady rates, low temps, and rush hour, should be treated with a little more urgency than a typical 1-2” snowfall.
