  1. Just making my way through the comments now, lots of reports / pictures of some pretty crazy stuff out of New Kensington. At least I know I wasn't seeing things lol.
  2. Not going to complain about missing a tornado. Lol Still not sure what we saw. The clouds were moving so fast on approach so maybe it was an illusion of perspective or something, but it sure looked like a very broad area of rotation high up in the approaching cloud deck. Won't forget this one for awhile!
  3. That cell that just went through here just got warned for tornado... Not suprised. My son and I were watching the cloud deck approach and I swear it looked like we could see the clouds rotating, or almost moving perpendicular to the storm morion, then all hell broke lose. May have just dodged a bullet.
  4. Thats a negative.. about 60 seconds of insane wind and hail, complete white out. That was intense. I thought the windows were going to get blown out. We don't typically get hit straight on like that.
  5. Odd cloud movement with these storms. In-between two bands, getting some light rain now. May be enough to take some of the bite out of the main line, but time will tell.
  6. Most of sliding just to south of me, still had a enough to get a coating. Looks like some pretty good returns in western Allegheny.
  7. Coating on the grass here with light to moderate wind driven snow.
  8. Yeah, it seems like lately our region is divided on bigger storms. That Jan 94 storm track was perfect. Really an unusual distribution of snow.
  9. Yeah, I was going to say December 2020 was definitely double digits. I got stuck at work with an issue that day and drove home after 11pm so that one sticks out but must be skewed by the "single daily" total. That makes it more like 4 years which I'd say is more inline with our statistical odds of that type of event. It doesn't do anything to satisfy the big storm itch though.
  10. I enjoy the little snows, especially if it stays cold with snow on snow. That being said we are about at the end of realistically keeping snow on the ground so by early March Im much more interested in a bigger storm. Jeff V had a stat today our largest daily snowfall is 2.6 inches (midnight - midnight) and that was last weekend.
  11. Had one blow through here, lasted almost 10 minutes. Snow was legit heavy. Looks like another round moving in now.
  12. What could go wrong? Rather see it than not. Would be a great end to winter if we can manage a warning criteria event in the next couple weeks.
  13. It was a great little event, I agree to bad the first batch got washed out, but better to have snowed and melted than to have never snowed at all. Made the best of yesterday with an impromptu sled and snowman session with the boy. Daughter just got her permit so took her driving tonight to get some bad weather driving experience (some donuts in an empty parking lot too ) then finished it off with dog walk pulling the boy in the sled in heavy snow. Sometimes I think cold and snowy weather gets me more motivated to be outside than warm weather lol
  14. Looks to be filling in nicely. Id say another inch is doable based on that.
  15. Radar indicated change over should be going through Allegheny now. Actually a couple wet flakes mixing here too now.
