blackngoldrules Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 43 in Butler and 63 in Washington. Pretty easy to tell where the warm front is right now. It'll be interesting to see if a few storms will be able to fire around the area later on today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if a few storms will be able to fire around the area later on today. Tornado Watch is up just West of here. I don't want to be an alarmist but I remember last March 23rd we had a similar situation. Cool rainy morning. Temperatures skyrocketed into the 60's near 70 and then we had the Tornadoes.

SteelCity08 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Crazy day!! First time I've ever really seen the sky green that green, not to mention the baseball size hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm getting a couple breaks in the clouds here which will only help to stir things up more. I see tornado watches up in western Ohio all the way up to lakes. Gotta wonder if that gets extended east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PottercountyWXobserver Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I had some CG's and small hail roll through here about an hour ago! Crazy winter for sure. I don't think I have ever seen hail and CG's in February! LOL all at a temp of 35F Edit: I'm about to get slammed again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Just missed that squall. Although a strong band is setting up again. That band dropped about 1/4 inch of snow in 10 minutes. Was very quick and did not see lightning but had one clap of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Light to moderate snow falling. Picked up about a 1/4 -1/2 inch so far today. Feels kinda sureal watching the snow fall tonight, looking at the long range could be that last snowfall til next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under that longer band, and suprisingly measured 1.5" on the car. These last two lake enhanced events have had some decent bite to them. This is how we end up with 35-40" per year.

meatwad Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 1 to 2" possible tonight Tonight: Snow showers likely, mainly before 3am. Cloudy, with a low around 23. West wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 A solid 3 inches of snow here. Definitely an overperformer. Still snowing lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Same here, had another band hitting this morning around 6:30am when I left. Some roads were snow covered and pretty icy. I'd say these are the worst road conditions I had to drive in for a morning commute all winter. Seems like when it snowed this winter it was during the weekend. Sure looks like winter out there today, cold, overcast, light snow falling, and snow stuck to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Wow, I guess the NWS office in Moon was one of the bullseye areas, with almost 6" total. It kinda makes sense because I ended up with about 2.5" before midnight, and just looking outside, I see about 2" on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I guess this was another one of those LES events that my area was left out of for the most part. Saying I got half an inch would probably be genererous. Most of it is gone already here. That's why I've never really gotten excited about LES over the years living in my area. We had one event here in January that gave us a few inches, but that was the exception to how it usually is here for LES. I guess this one was a winner for north of town and of course out around the NWS office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with about 2 or so out of the event. Its a moot point though I guess because by tomorrow it will all be gone anyways. I am sort of looking forward to the warm up, still got that itch for a 6+ snowfall but I think that will have to wait until next winter. Hopefully we get a weak west based nino for next winter and some periods of blocking. I'll take an active STJ and -AO -NAO combination any day!

Digger Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 There was probably close to 2" her ewhen I left a 6 a.m., and it was snowing pretty hard. Of course, it's mostly gone now, so I don't know how much there was in total. It's still hard to believe we're so close to the normal seasonal accumulation for this date. I checked it this morning before I left, and we were like.02 ahead, IIRC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 We joke around sometimes about how we can add up some nice sounding totals with very little impact. However, I have never seen anything like this winter.... 37" at NWS.......uhhh...... The NWS total is higher of course than downtown, but is usually fairly representative of the typical suburbs which are mostly above 1000'. In fact, north and east tends to do a little better, especially if there are east coast storms or a battlerground storm. Or sometimes even with LES But anyway....everytime it seems like the official total was 4" or 5" this year, I was racking up 2" or 3". Combine that with being spread out over a couple days and a quick warmup, the impact was very low. Yet, this may wind up going in the books as an "average" winter. Either the NWS has just been in the sweet spot, or the Russel weatherman really was a weatherman and is now employed But clearly, these haven't been widespread events this year.

We're sitting at 24.1" here at the office in Bridgeville for the season. Granted, a lot of the snowfall events this year were Lake Effect, which we know varies greatly across the county. Another factor I believe, with such a warm winter, many events were marginal and elevation dependant as well. I would'nt be surpised if the seasonal snowfall totals for this season across Allegheny County range from about 20-40" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
