So I someone just wandered onto this amazing weather links page that Jon Nese, the Penn State University associate chair for the undergrad department of meteorology, kept in pretty much the same format from the 90s when I'm guessing it was first put online. It's organization is incredible and the overall depth is as well. It scrolls down like the equivalent of 10 pages deep in today's website design. Regardless I found like five or six very interesting tools all focused on the upcoming winter weather that I never knew existed in a couple minutes of looking at the page. https://bpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/sites.psu.edu/dist/a/111486/files/2023/07/natlwx.htm Sent from my SM-X210 using Tapatalk

Pittsburgh is in the middle of a weird weather night. That lightning definitely held together and here's a quick dirty local lightning map for last 30 min. So 230-300am. That said the airport and points downtown are mostly between 30-34 degrees. The real funky temperatures are on the west side of Allegheny front with anyone from 1000' -1400' between 37-40. Anyway ne close by up above 1550' is still below freezing. Until you reach seven springs at 2700' and Somerset at 2300' and it's 28 there. And 29 at fort Hill at 3200 I'm just surprised there is a 5-10 degree difference for temperature for those below 1000' and above 1500' compared to that 400 foot high ribbon for those on the Allegheny ridge Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I would think a wsw would be prudent Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Question now is if its necessary Thursday to shovel an inch of concrete or if it will for sure all melt before refreeze Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

@MAG5035 had two great posts late night the last two nights that make me give credence to the sleet bomb angle above all. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Such a narrow streak of fluffy. It's going to suck watching it dump a mile away from the window as it throws me a pity flurry or two Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Do schools go for the 2 hour delay or the full day close? I feel the 2 hour delay way too optimistic. I'm sure they will all just transition to online day and close. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

This temperature gradient is something else Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

If there's a layer of sleet it will acreate Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Most of it is occurring at night overnight Wednesday Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Places in Japan just got 34" in 6 hours from a synoptic system bombing out. 40"-50" entire storm totals Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

It's that one two combo that can really cause havoc. It might be tougher freezing rain to accrete on asphalt at 30° but not on top of sleet. That's the recipe for a glacier Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Next 24 hours will be like a yo-yo Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Maybe he's resting up since he won't be sleeping much next week with 3 storms in 5 days Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

We haven't had a good true ice storm in forever here. I don't think this one will be a damaging one so I'm going to let myself get excited for it. Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

If we can get a 6" plus 10" storm out of this plus a bunch of sleet and ice we can get a nice glacier pack that will push the boundary south for March fun Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

My gut says this is what we've been waiting 5 plus years for, haha Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I don't think the surface will topple until the precipitation is almost all through. At least up here in the Cumberland valley near Harrisburg Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

3 storms in 5 days or 6 days? Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

Reesers summit is 42 so warmer air is literally less than a 1,000 ft above me Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk

I'm back down to 37 Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk
