Measured a good 3, probably end with around 3.25ish, that last band sorta dissipated before it really moved through. Looks like areas just the NW managed a little better based on radar and reports. All in all this one played out exactly as expected based on models and NWS forecast. A+

Eyeballing 2-3 on the deck rail. Coming down at a moderate rate at the moment.

Things still on track. Surfaces should be plenty cold and very early morning timing will maximize accumulations. Im still thinking 2-4, with maybe a 5 lollipop if somewhere manages to maxmize ratios and banding, but overall progressive nature is going to limit that potential. Will be fun to kick off the season!

I'm here for some clippers, get them to dive underneath us then reinforce NW flow behind them over the warm lakes and you are looking at almost daily shots of snow.

Looks like we are honing in on a 2-4 type deal. Not bad for early December if it plays out that way We lost our oldest dog in early November this year, playing in the snow made him so happy. No doubt taking the other 2 out to play will be bitter sweet for the first real accumulating event.

I feel like I've been asleep at the wheel, just getting caught up on the upcoming threats. It was nice to have a cold / snowy Thanksgiving. Looking forward to tracking with everyone this season.

I had one of those! I had it strapped around the handle bar on my bike to make sure I was home on time for periodic check-ins. That thing sat out in rain and many bike wrecks and took a licking and kept on ticking! lol Completely forgot about the thermometer part!

Enjoying the summer so far, it's been a great season for the pool this year. Warm water just about all summer (thanks to all the 90s). Pretty decent lightening show on the way to work this morning. Summer is cruising along. The older I get the less I look forward to the end of summer and fall and the start of Winter and he Holiday routine but don't worry I'll be in top form by November . This Farmers Almanac outlook would be sweet if it verified (probably as likely as the 384 GFS)

Pretty detailed write-up here: 40 Years Later: The May 31 1985 Tornado Outbreak I was living in Sarver, PA where the one F3 lifted at the time, pretty young but have some vague memories of that event. Probably a contributing factor to why Im on a weatherboard today. Also probably why this was my favorite book as a kid.

Looking at the radar, feels like a winter storm, watching the heavy returns creep NE. Your not wrong. Sunday looks nice, then we should get a taste of summer.

Wild ride in this morning through Allegheny County, roads closed, miles and miles of neighborhoods without power, no traffic lights / street lights. Debris everywhere. Some places looked like war torn hell-scapes.

Yeah, maybe plateaued right around Allegheny line, still 72mph gust nothing to sneeze at. Tree down in the little wood strip in my backyard too.

Hey appreciate the Met post. I see you are in OK, did you used to live around here or just following the severe outbreak?

Power was out about 5 minutes here, back on for now. It was pretty erie for about 5 minutes before it hit, power was flickering while it was still sunny.

Looks like it, barring some last minute weakening its right in the bullseye. Hope I can get dinner off the grill in time!
