tsteel Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Mix of freezing rain and sleet here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atownwx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 About an inch in youngstown. The snow wasn't as heavy as I thought, already got the drive cleared. Had some rain mix in towards the end of the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity08 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Wow.. Up to 37 degrees, Some nice returns to the west too, unreal. Last thing I was worried about was rising temps. Hopefully they crash soon before this next batch moves in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity08 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Can't believe it's raining outside..Pretty depressing to go from 3-5 inches to hearing the combination of melting snow and rain outside. Easily would have seen 5 inches too with the way the radar is looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Very heavy snow for the last half hour. Thunder woke me up to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MccandlessWXPSU Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Figures I would go to work and miss thundersnow. I was surprised to see I only had to go about two or three miles toward town for straight rain. Nice to hear it's still snowing up there. We had three inches or so when I left. Did we pick up much more? Very heavy snow for the last half hour. Thunder woke me up to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psunate1977 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah. It's a mix here in eastern/central Westmoreland, but road wise it's all wet. I was surprised waking up to a cold rain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well can't win em all, hope it is nice for ya'll to the north!Didn't do much better in my neck of the woods. Picked up a half inch with that first wave that went through last night. Then temps went up overnight and turned things to rain. When I left for work this morning, it was starting to sleet in Bethel and now it's sleeting with some snow trying to mix in where I'm at in Bridgeville. I would have to say I busted low as well since I was in the 2-4 range for this and definitely didn't get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we pick up much more? Same here! I can see on radar a pretty heavy band slammed my backyard, but nothing here in Greensburg, just light snow. I'll have to call my wife and see if she heard thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 So the next question is how much of our snowpack do you think we lose with the slight warm up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MccandlessWXPSU Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I honestly only expect there to be the random piles of snow from parking lot clearing left. With the rain at the end of the week and the warm up, it is really going to eat at the snowpack, especially because we are losing snow even on sunny colder days this time of year.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 So the next question is how much of our snowpack do you think we lose with the slight warm up. I think its going to take a pretty big hit to be honest. Thursday-Sat look pretty brutal with SW winds and high dew points. I think Thursday night we also stay above freezing. Compact all that with some rain and you have a recipe for fast snow melt. It will be interesting to see what staying power the pack has with a frozen ground underneath and probably at least 1.5 inches liquid equivalent. My snow weenieism aside, I'm hoping for a slow melt for folks that live near rivers. A fast melt + rain + ice jams could spell a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Just shoveled again. 3 inches of heavy wet snow. I think 2 of it fell in a one hour period this morning with this last batch. It was funny because last night's squall line, which I thought would be bigger dropped about 1/2 inch. Then this morning I was expecting an inch or less and get a 2 inch burst with Thundersnow. Never turned to rain here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 My wife works in the city and said all the roads she were on are clear. No problems I don't know about the city schools but the schools in the North Hills all pretty much had to close. We were getting 1 to 2 inch rates from 6:30 until 8:00 here and the timing was bad. Roads are wet now but they had no choice with the snow coming down when it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
