north pgh Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Penguins didn't show up plain and simple. Blackhawks dominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Where's that damn SE ridge when we need it. Lol. Anyway, it is looking like fringe city once again. But I'm staying onboard, for better or for worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm staying onboard, for better or for worse. It seems like every storm this winter that had us on the edge of the snow 3 or 4 days out locked in and the storms that had us in the bullseye 3 to 4 days out moved north or south. Couldn't win this year on the big one, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Bring on spring, hopefully this is it for snow! Thunderstorms!! I want to go sit on my porch in the humid air at night with a mild breeze and watch distant lightning move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdd9108 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I have the strangest feeling our biggest storm will come at the end of march and piss us all off. At this point I need to move to the lake effect snow belt to see above 5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstaude Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 What happened to the Pens last night? That's more disappointing than anything storm-related IMO! And while I understand that these outdoor games get good ratings and are spreading the love of Hockey to a new audience, the players strongly dislike them due to sketchy ice conditions and (in this case) accumulating snow. I'm conflicted, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm conflicted, personally. Regardless of the conditions, both teams have to play in them and it looked at though Chicago was having fun and the Pens wanted to get out of town. NO excuse for not being up for a Nationally Televised game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MccandlessWXPSU Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I was there in person for the game. I expected it to be a knock out drag out show of two amazing teams that rarely play eachother. Watching closely, our defense failed. The beginning of the game they were doubling our shots on goal easily and fluery can only hold out for so long. Despres made two big mistakes after we scored and he knew it. After the fifth goal he sat and thought for a second at the net. That being said the experience was amazing. The snow was great! And the Chicago fans were great too. Some banter but respectful even after our loss. One even said I would like to make fun of you more be you're great fans. Can't even say much you're not Philly.

CoraopolisWx Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 These thread the needle storms, that come in two or three waves, are more trouble than they're worth. Basically from here on out, it's Miller A, inland runners or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psunate1977 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Pens need D. Now they are talking about trading Pouliot. Orpik and Scuderi are in the back sides of their careers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Unfortunatly, this system turned out to be either, all snow from the start, then nothing. Or all rain from the start, then snow, possibly heavy in spots. The earlier concept of two significant waves of snow, was not realistic. That forecast had such a thin margin for error.

CoraopolisWx Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 My congrats to the many long range winter forecasts for Pgh 2013-2014. They stated above average snow, with a low likelihood of a large storm. Never thought we'd get nickeled and dimed to 60" though. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yesterday Pitt won and our storm fell apart. Mabey a Pitt loss brings the storm back, as the the team travels home early. No, that's not it either. We lose the storm, and Pitt loses in the last seconds again. Damn this winter. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Robinson was fouled on that lay up at the end. He should've had a chance to tie the game. I've seen lesser contact called a foul, on those types of plays. Oh well, that's Pitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 It's pretty amazing how many times this pattern has tried to recapture that feb 2010 magic, at least on paper. Just shows how difficult it is getting all the pieces in place, for a snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Ok, getting suppresed again sucks, but whatever. My real gripe, is the fact that many in the mid-atlantic have had the best of both worlds this month. At least twice now, they've had golfing weather one day, then heavy snow the next. Meanwhile here in Pgh the few decent days we've had, have been like walking around in the high desert with all the dirt and dust blowing around. Lots of fun. That's fine, I'm still holding out hope for the big inland runner that buries sw pa. Winter is far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 30 years we average just over an inch of snow in April. Keep that in mind. The seasons are changing, which means more sun and it's getting warmer.

CoraopolisWx Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm sorry this pattern is B.S. Every snow event has trended downward this month. I almost gaurantee though, that the rain forecasted later this week will verify spot on. #idontgivea****whatyouthink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 A couple days ago it was more of an event. The pattern did stink for us, although other areas cashed in on a couple of nice events. Can't believe that nice bomb out in the Atlantic is being wasted... Tonight's snow was looking better a couple days ago, but now its basically a fropa.. I wouldn't rule other another shot of snow sometime in April given this winter, but doubt it ends up being anything noteworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
