north pgh Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Strange day indeed. 2 inches of snow this morning. All melted tonight. Just came down from rt 8 in dense fog and 33 degrees. Ready for some indian summer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yeah, to be fair, this had to be an extremely tough forecast....i just wish they would be more flexible in their adjusments...maybe just say if you are outside of the river valleys you are going to see a couple inches? Welcome to the river valley my friend. Dynamic cooling snowstorms are really tough to come by below 800 ft. Unfortunatly the best dynamics were too far away, and elevation became a bigger factor. Occasionaly the AFD might mention hilltop snows, but like you said, forecasting the rain/snow line within the county is pretty tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm going 1-3 PIttsburgh proper 2-4 in Westmoreland and Indiana County in the lowlands... Ridges..I'll go 5-9. Anymore adjustment west though, and we could be looking at an advisory level event...they might throw one up anyways for 1-3 inches due to the time of year. BTW, 3 inches of wet snow right now would cause major power issues, IMO. I'd say your call was pretty solid, I ended up with about 1.5. Higher elevation just north of Freeport at my parents they had probably a solid 2-3 inches. Now this storm has wet my appetite for tracking and we probably have another month before something else to track comes up lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I feel bad for the trick or treaters tonight. Rain started around 5:30 and lasted until after 8:00. Bad timing. Oh well, It is now November 1st and with a favorable winter forecast of snow and cold I am ready for some snow storm tracking. :snowman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPXI was pretty vague but agrees with the other 2 in that we should see below average temps and above average snow. Should be interesting to see how it all plays out.

blackngoldrules Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Snow showers moving through northern Allegheny County and southern Butler County this morning.

A few flurries around 7 or 8 this morning in the air. That was about it. It looks like Northern Allegheny, Butler and North and East had at least a coating. Sun is shining now and 38 degrees.

meatwad Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 No Snow here this morning. The sun is starting to come out now. The long range looks boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schinz Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 No Snow here this morning. The sun is starting to come out now. The long range looks boring. Depends on what you mean by long range. The GFS ensebles seem to be almost evenly divided around the time of Thanksgiving with half in a deepening EC trough mode and the other half in an EC High mode. However, two days ago there were markedly more members in the EC High mode. I believe we will see the blocking increase and a trough deepening over the EC around the 25th that could result in a lot of LE snow the last week of November. Of course, I could be bias because I am hoping Peek N Peak opens for the first weekend in December, so there will have to be a cold and snowy pattern developing around Thanksgiving to achieve that.
