north pgh Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It's hard to believe that it is only Dec. 6th. I can remember in years past we had nothing to track til after Christmas. What is this, something like 3 events already? 50/50 Sleet/Snow mix now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Switched back to mainly sleet. Had a period where it was almost all snow, then looked like grapul now back to sleet. I thought once it was mainly snow I was in the clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhead Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I think the main event is still to the SW. Stuff over south-central OH and KY means business. Heavy snow reported near Cincinnati. P-types may continue alternating over SW PA until the heavy precip. moves in. Just not that much CAA to work with at 700 and 850 hPa--we need the upward vertical motion to cool the warm layer.

north pgh Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Just got in from driving. Main roads are wet and just rain and sleet falling. My side streets and driveway are icy. My temp is 30.9. Driving on Mcknight Road it was 34. I guess when this heavy batch gets here we will turn to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm getting some really light drizzle \ zr right now. I think I'm under that lower intensity precip thats over Allegheny and parts of Westemoreland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Drove 376 from Pgh. to here in Hopewell, and got in about 15 minutes ago. Mainly sleet to around the airport, and north of there, snowflakes. Main roads were just wet, but my side street has a coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I watched KDKA earlier, with John Burnett, and now Jeff V is on and he changed the whole 5 day forecast lol. John had Monday with rain changing back to snow, then only a high of 20 on Wednessday. Now Jeff V has a shower in the morning with partly cloudy skies Monday and 25 for a high on Wednessday. Seems pretty odd to change the graphics between 4:00 and 5:00 broadcasts. Not saying one is right and one is wrong, but I just found it funny Jeff V went signifcantly more conservative for later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Jeff V pisses me off. He has us for a mild and a below avg snowfall but its sleeting pretty good in Pgh right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdd9108 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Snow coming down pretty good, the roads are actually getting covered. There goes the theory that the past two days would hinder accumulation on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Jeff V pisses me off. He has us for a mild and a below avg snowfall but its sleeting pretty good in Pgh right now. I didn't mean to bash him, and honestly if I was a pro Met I'd likely go concersevative too. The odds that all the ingredients come together for a big storm are normally less than those that something will go wrong, so why hype the public unessarily.

Rdd9108 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Im a snow weenie. I have nothing against him just his predictions. Ever since the 2010 feb blizzard bust. All our local mets make me skeptical. I miss Joe D he was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
