Paweatherguy1 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 On 12/26/2012 at 4:15 PM, RitualOfTheTrout said: I know its more nowcast time, but both the 12z NAM and GFS seem to keep that dryslot in extreme SWPA. From what I am seeing in the CPA thread, it looks as if the low is going to transfer sooner than progged...that would stop the progression of the dry slot. The NAM and GFS were also colder, and had a bit more QPF...close to an inch it looked like. It also looks like the high res models keep us out of the dry slot as well. They also give us close to another 1.00 inch of QPF. Could this actually overperform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecon Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 1200 NAM now shows over 12 inches of snow for Pgh---it would be nice, but it look likes a dry slot is lingering south of us--hope it fills in!! In McCandless--it's been snowing since about 10 AM we have between an anch & an inch and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel717 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 After about 20 mins of steady sleet, snow starting to mix back in and pick up. Gotta get rid of the sleet....approaching 2 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paweatherguy1 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 All snow still in the north hills, and some pretty good gusts up to 30 MPH too. Very impressive so far...would say about 2.5 inchs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen16226 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Big fluffy flakes here at work in New Ken. Started a couple of hours ago as sleet, then snow started coming at a decent clip. Leaving here soon to get back up to home and that should be fun since PENDOT seems to feel that Route 28 in Armstrong County does not exist.

blackngoldrules Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 In Bethel Park now. Sleet snow mix here. Roads are very bad too for the most part. People are getting stuck on hills where I'm at. Thank God for my 4 wheel drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCity08 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Back to heavy snow, unfortunately it looks like it will be coming to an end in about 20 or 30 min. Hopefully those to the north and east fair a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeWinds Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Seems like the pivot needs to occur. What is typical of your climo here in Western PA. Do you often get a pivot that sets you up in a deform band and where does that usually set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Glad to see you guys getting the heavy snow. I arrived safe in wellsville ny waiting for the snow to move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel717 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I think we need to hope the transfer happens as far inland as possible and takes more of a north track for us to maximize. Hardest snow to date. Cas see mayber a few hundred yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in western agc its going to be tough to avoid for me, hopefully its short lived. One good thing is it seems our mixing issues may be behind us. So whatever does fall should remain all snow from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen16226 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 If you can stay in and avoid driving, do so. What a nightmare 28 was. It took 70 minutes to get from New Ken to Ford City....normally 30 minutes. Snowing fairly heavily here for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 All sleet in New Kensington now. Dry slot looks to be diminshing intensity of the precip as well now. At least it snowed, and a sleet filled snow pak will have some staying power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am right on the western edge of the precip right now. It does look like some light returns filling in now. You can see on radar the primary moving east as it transfers to the coast. I would think we have seen our heaviest rates but once the backend moves through hopefully we will all go back over to snow and pick up some more accumulations. No ZR so that is a plus.

Jen16226 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Heavy sleet up here in Armstrong on top of 6 inches of snow. Ritualofthetrout.....I thought I remembered someone on here was from around where I worked! I hope you are in for the day. I heard 356, parts of 56 and now 28 both ways is closed.
