blackngoldrules Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 ....and it's not even a "top 10" storm due to that airport total. It just depends on where you live. My personal largest snowstorm of all time is not even in Pittsburgh's top 10. I was in the perfect spot with that one! LARGEST SNOW STORMS ON RECORD 27.4" November 24-26, 1950 25.9" December 16-18, 1890 25.3" March 12-14, 1993 21.1" February 5-6, 2010 18.5" January 8-9, 1886 18.0" January 8-9, 1884 17.8" February 18-21, 1927 16.3" March 3, 1942 16.3" February 13-14, 1940 15.6" January 12-13, 1964 15.1" February 16-18, 2003 GREATEST SNOWFALL IN ONE DAY 23.6" March 13, 1993 22.0" December 17, 1890 16.5" January 8, 1884 16.3" March 3, 1942 15.0" March 5, 1902 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my driveway was a sheet of ice. I just finished salting it. I do need to get out to an appointment so will be leaving soon. My street was just salted and the good news is my temp has jumped from 29.0 to 31.4 in the last hour. I hate freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 PennDOT must think the ZR is a credible threat. Just came in from near Pittsburgh International, and they've pre-treated 376... Hopefully that helped, I know 376 near the mclaren rd exit can get pretty slick. There seems to be a bit more dripping outside, so mabey these temps will be above freezing soon. Man what a crappy week for weather, and to top it off after 3 weeks of good conditions for the winter classic, this saturday looks like the one day the weather will be no good.

I did that a few years ago, hit my head hard, 8 stiches and bled like a stuck pig. I did the same thing when I was a teenager! I was late catching the bus in the morning, so as I was running down to my bus stop I slipped on a patch of ice and smacked my head against the gravel in my parents' driveway. I blacked out and got a concussion from it. I actually didn't bleed much but my head was swelled up like a balloon from the fall. That cured my tardiness anyway!

blackngoldrules Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 <br />53 degrees and stinkbugs are back. Didn't take long to wake those annoying bugs back up. Maybe we can call tomorrow's game the "stinkbug classic" since it'll still be warm and they'll probably still be buzzing around. Just picture Sidney Crosby stick handling down the ice with a stinkbug on his helmet. BTW, there's a report from the Washington Post that the NHL is meeting at 5:00 today to decide whether or not to push the game back to a later time tomorrow. Maybe 8:00 if the bulk of the rain is gone by then. Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I've heard, from a reliable source, that the real problem with the amount of rain forecast, is that with a hockey rink on the stadium playing surface, there's no drainage. All that water is just going to puddle up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 It's official now. Start time for the winter classic tomorrow is 8PM. Outdoor hockey at night. Something else new for the NHL. I actually get to watch it since I have to work tomorrow. I'm happy. Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will dry out before the real cold comes in but it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully the soaker moved on by fast enough. Hopefully at worst only a few showers will be around by 8pm, plus it's gonna be relatively comfortable with temps near 40 F. Actually the NHL should do ok on this one, because there only semi- competition will be UCONN vs OU. Going up against the NFL tomorrow, would have been a beat down in the national ratings.

Burghblizz Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Yep...gfs and ggem were both interesting. 0Z GFS gets interesting in the day 5 and 6 range. It looks like a southern system that clips us on the northern fringe.....then literally a clipper within the next 24 hours after that, that tries to become a Miller B for New England. I'm sure is won't play out exactly that way, but it does give 8 or 9" of snow in the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChalkHillSnowNut Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 yea-the atmposphere at last night's game was pretty sweet although the outcome, not so much....at least it wasn't game 7 of the stanley cup final!....at least some things to track this week other than an upcoming blowtorch like all last week!......

Wow, that's what they did back in the old days. You would hear extendeds on the weather radio pre-Internet days that would be like: Mostly cloudy with a chance of flurries Wednesday through Friday, highs in the 20s lows in the teens" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure is won't play out exactly that way, but it does give 8 or 9" of snow in the period. Looks like the 12z GFS is losing the southern storm but the clipper is still there for later this week. If it holds we could be looking at a nice 1-3 or 2-4 inch clipper. Still early though but getting closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks like we could have some snow on the ground again by the weekend with some decent cold air hanging around. I have been off since Christmas Eve so having a lull in the weather actually forced me to get some projects around the house done rather than check the GFS every 6 hours but with vacation ending and a return to work I will welcome some more interesting weather.

colonel717 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 KDKA John Burnett at halftime of 4pm NFL game said Big Storm coming for late in the week. I know there is some potential but are any models showing big storm for us? WTAE also mentioned 40% chance of accumulating snow Fri/Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
