Yeah except we are likely to miss most of the deform band here. This initial push was supposed to be a large portion of our accumulation and if we get 3 inches from it instead of 6 that will greatly reduce our overall total.
I know I'm going to get killed for this but that is basically right over I-70, and I am looking at the traffic cams and it should be a whiteout. Looks like it is not all snow. Hopefully as it pushes north the column will cool.
Again, bad sign. I was about to say that I was looking at traffic cameras along 70 and for the returns over the area it did not seem to match up rate wise.
Sleet?
TO get off my doom and gloom about the storm, I do want to say I really do miss the old NWS radar. The snapshot of it you see before you click into it is still the old radar so I generally just zoom in on my phone.
Lol, I likely overreacted a bit. We are SO freaking close to what would really be a historic storm for the area, and its just frustrating that we are likely going to miss it by a matter of 50 miles.
LOL no! I'm just irritated haha. I know this storm isn't yours but getting foot plus storms here is extremely difficult so to waste that chance stinks.
If you look at their forecast map they drastically reduced totals on it. Had PIT at 11 inches earlier today and now they are showing 8.
I'm guessing we end up with major P type issues and waste the best track we've had in years.
This is rapidly falling apart out our way. PIT just drastically cut totals, introduced mixing issues into the forecast, and latest short range models are showing major boundary layer issues.
Because it is still interesting.
I was told to "shut up" for saying this would be an issue a couple days ago, but talked myself into the fact we would avoid major P type issues but I really should have known better.
New HRRR coming out now is showing loads of mixing issues even with the initial slug that was supposed to be all snow.
Starting to wonder if we break 6 inches. THe backside might be what needs to save us.
