    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.

    Went out to eat in Cranberry tonight. Looked like a full fledged snowstorm for awhile Roads were horrible. Really only a slight over performer - but with temps around 15 everything is sticking. People are complaining that the “weather people don’t know what they are doing” - lol. We are probably somewhere between 1.5-2”, with a forecast of an inch. But the decent rates and cold temps made a huge difference.

    Nice fresh inch here. Definitely every flake counting with temps in the teens.

    Up to about 2.5”. Still snowing, but with peaks of sun, the accumulating snow looks to be over here.

    I wound up with about 2” new. Too bad it fell at night. Would have been nice with snow on snow.

    Crazy that someone might pop 6” out of this and it wound up being north

    I don’t know - it’s thumping pretty good here relatively speaking. Pushing an inch and it really just started here around 7:30. Roads covered. Snowpack freshened up .Nice night overall.

    1 degree IMBY. Clear skies and snow pack did some work last night.

    I think these stretches are still quite common in an average to good winter here. How else would we average 40”+ while whiffing on big storms.
  10. Burghblizz
    Nice. Solid 5-7” in the southern counties. I guess we knew the rapid drop off was a possibility.

    Caught a couple sneaky heavy bands on the very tail end. Obviously a dud based on time invested, but a decent day. I may have close to 2” now for the day. Interesting to see how that translates to some areas that already did pretty well. Think it could bump the totals to 5-6” in spots in Fayette and Greene.

    Almost reminds me of Lake Effect right now. Been snowing moderately for about 30 min…but starting to see a little sun trying to poke through

    Seeing 2-3” reports already south of the city into northern WV. Probably just about .5” for me so far. FRZ reported near Morgantown and Accumulating snow in Cleveland. If someone told me that I’d say we were sitting pretty. But radar looks really disjointed. Just a different overall look than I expected.

    My guess is that they said something to the effect of the snow being heavier “south of Hershey”, and it got translated into literally falling apart as it goes through there.

    NAM a tick back north. I do think most of Mon Valley is looking pretty good. Just don’t feel great about where I sit.

    Palmyra have a snow shield that causes snow to diminish in that 3 or 4 miles?
  17. Burghblizz
    Hopefully that translates east and doesn’t get chewed up by dry air

    Let’s go HRRR https://x.com/burgwx/status/1875952478589788617?s=46&t=nIoI0c7NSX6uBBZqtNsThg

    Is that northern edge hitting the ground?
  20. Burghblizz
    18Z NAM looks a smidge snowier. Edit: taken literally maybe less snowy as in the city but introducing more of the 12”+ stuff just south. Probably not great to split hairs over it anyway
  21. Burghblizz
    Bring it! (This time anyway)

    Tolleris’s map is horrible and he used to think Pgh was in Westmoreland County. But he has been decent over the years in terms of cutting through model differences and understanding which may win. If so - still in it. (Although not sure what is supposed to happen above the 6” because I live right above it - lol)
  23. Burghblizz
    I could see him doing this 20 years ago - but you would think now there are some pretty easily available tools to shade in a map.
  24. Burghblizz
    This is normally the time the short term models start punching a little north to slop on our parade. This time it would help.
  25. Burghblizz
    Would probably rather have that heavier shield creeping north like that even if the top end is lower.
