NWS saying they have a little lower confidence in reaching the 8" totals because of the delay in the onset of precip.

 

I didn't really think we lost that much. It seemed that the column saturated and cooled very quickly. I can see not hitting 8", but to me it would be more due to the heavier precip staying south and/or not maintaining the warm conveyer in the upper levels from the coastal

Absolutely gorgeous outside...about 1.5" in the 2 or so hours it's been accumulating.

 

Been getting gusts to near 30, but snow is still caked on everything. It will hopefully be a great scene in the morning.

 

Interesting report from the NWS - got .5" in an hour there with .03 water content. Small sample size and all, but if we can pull some 15:1 ratios we could overperform. However, the consistency of the snow and how it is plastered on the trees seems to indicate lower raios IMBY.

Storm fail.  We got dry slotted as soon as the coastal low started to take over, which was entirely my concern.  We got maybe 2" so the 75% rule holds serve down here.  There's a nice band that basically curves around us to the north, so whoever is under that got lucky.  Us, not so much.

 

This winter has stunk haha.

Yeah, I was already starting to see the drier air starting to creep in to our south right before I went to bed last night. Had a feeling that was going to cut totals down some. Have to measure yet to see what I ended up with. Looks like I have more than 2" here.

Holy **** I am getting crushed right now. I'd say at least 5-6 inches. Its just pouring snow right now...

 

 

Seeing 9" and 10" reportd in Armstrong and Westmoreland County as that band lingered up there. That looks like it will try to drop south to put the icing on our cake.

 

Looks like around 6" so far here.

Haven't been out to measure yet but that looks about right. My power was flickering this morning and when I got up to look I couldn't see anything. Glad some official reports are corroborating my eye ball report so I don't sound like a crazy person.
