If you are in the north hills, you do not have “flurries” right now. It finally transitioned to more moderate snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just unbelievable how quick the models turned a largely BN period into a largely AN period. If the EC is right, we’ll be back in the upper 40s by Monday, which all the other models suggest should be a cold day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 GFS appears to be the last domino to fall. Massive ridge develops mid to late next week in what was supposed to be a good cold pattern, bringing it into agreement with pretty much all the rest of the operational and ensemble models. Unbelievable. Why is it that even when most indicators and teleconnections would support a cold pattern, the models can flip this fast and converge on the solution of a warm pattern? Is it climate change? Something else? It’s frustrating as hell how hard it is to get a good pattern these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PghPirates27 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I think we are done for snow for the season other then maybe an inch or two some nights in march that's gone by 11am due to the sun angle. 26.3" so far is awful based on what's coming up in march it appears. Edit: time to drain the backyard ice rink next Tuesday, it's toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PghPirates27 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I agree. Just like when there is a storm when it's close but we are on the rain side we get drenched but when it's cold enough for snow we get the dry slot lol. All I wanted this winter was 1 warning level event and we got that. Just stinks to waste a February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Trusting OP models outside of 5 days is a waste of time. I'd say wait and see what they look like by early next week. Some ensembles had a spike negative in NAO. I wouldn't count out another quick hitting storm. We can do pretty well when the short waves shorten. Slowly though any signs of a sustained cold pattern seem to be disappearing. If winter ended today I'd have to give it a C-. Pretty lackluster minus the period in January.

You'll probably want to be significantly north of 40N to have a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the climate change deal affecting us. I grew up in the 70's and I remember some really good winters and then some really bad ones in the 80's. Then the 90's had some good ones. But also for every good one there is a downer winter. For every 60+ snowfall winter there will also be a -30 snowfall winter. I myself like thunderstorms too so I deal with the summer changes as well. I remember last year we did not have a thunderstorm before mid June which is rare. Then the second half of the summer we had many so you can only hope we have a decent one. I think as I get older I deal with it better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PghPirates27 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I’ve learned over the past few years that whatever we are expecting to cut that snowfall total by 30-50% and that’s what we end up with.
