cwc Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yea, canton is in a break....bands are building back behind it. Might be the first bit of lake enhancement? no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psnnstater77 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Breaks now forming just west of Toronto.. Near Scio and west of Barnesville.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwc Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 the majority of what we get is going to be LES. we need to wait for the winds to shift around.. Not getting much out of this synoptic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittsburgh Rants Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yeppers, looks like we could get a quick dusting to some areas 1/2" by morning no doubt.. Looking at HRRR seems like tomorrow late afternoon to evening could be when the heavist bands setup. I think we will be in the same setup as last week, Snows during the day, but doesn't stick. Best chance for sticking will be after sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Here we go, as the stuff enters PA, The southern end is breaking up and holes are forming. Wife had the weather channel on and I noticed it seemed to be breaking up as it edged closer to our area. Hopefully the LES will produce results.

KPITblizz Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 More optimistic about les snow tommorow. Its so dependent on location though. This is more what i like to see this far out, the storm to the south and east with room for the nw trend. Both euro and gfs have it just something to keep an eye on..

north pgh Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Nice band has developed and is about to drop through. May drop a quick 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Not much behind it though. Like everyone else I believe the lake effect will be better tomorrow but will depend upon whether you get under a band or not. Tomorrow evening should be best.

Like everyone else I believe the lake effect will be better tomorrow but will depend upon whether you get under a band or not. Tomorrow evening should be best. Again, North and East are the places to be in these events.. I think this will be almost like last week, except it will shut off quicker as last week it snowed basically the whole week. Looks like Tuesday afternoon stuff could become more scattered. As I said, tomorrow after sunset looks to be the best. Until then, probably a dusting or inch here and there.

It seems when we get these type of events the second night after rush hour we get some steadier lake effect . If it holds true it would be tomorrow night and probably a solid 1-2 with points north and east a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paweatherguy1 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 This band has really picked up. Moderate snow and approaching an inch by my rough guess. Btw, it is far colder this week than last 77... I think the snow will have no problem sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm getting some moderate snow right now. The radar just keeps filling in every time it looks like it's going to break up. I have about an inch on the ground as of now. I definitely already have more than I got last week and we still have tomorrow (well technically the rest of today) to get some more. I'm only up late tonight because I'm on vacation this week so I'm getting lucky catching this right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paweatherguy1 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Close to 2 inches already. South hills has been getting the worst of this it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psnnstater77 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Call me crazy, but I have been disappointed thus far.. Only have an 1" here and its hardly snowing. Looking at radar alot of breaks upstream. I am surprised there were so many delays. Took the 45 minute track to work in Ebensburg and all the roads were wet. Crews did a great job.

Looking at radar alot of breaks upstream. I am surprised there were so many delays. Took the 45 minute track to work in Ebensburg and all the roads were wet. Crews did a great job. 2" and mid January cold out there. brrrr in the South Hills. I expect another 1-2" of LES for me and that will close this baby out. Keep an eye on next weekend. We have a much better setup, a West based block and a Low tracking up the coast like last year. temps should be good. All the models are on to something right now, so we have something to track at least. You just know we are going to have a Late December\Early January thaw having people asking where Winter went.

Thing that worries me is that we don't do well with a straight coastal: we need a primary that transfers to the coast. That was what happened with the big feb storm last year.

That was what happened with the big feb storm last year. That is true, with lots of days and model runs does look like a classic Miller A, a low coming out of the gulf and riding a front up. I saw it stated that we sometimes do ok with Miller B storms but Miller A's not so much(Like you stated). This last storm looked to be a something of a different animal, pretty much a straight march across the lower 48, warm air advection to start, a massive dryslot and now 4-6" of powdery snow for us and bitter Late January cold. Ick, you can keep this Mr.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
