north pgh Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Just shoveled. Wind is really blowing now. These minor squalls have stronger wind gusts. My temp is down to 21. Was 26 last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Brief but amazing quick whiteout in the laurels. Maybe 100 ft vis with 40 mph gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel717 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 What a storm. Over 6 inches total. Over 3 inches in that squall. That was like the squall last year that I got about 2 inches in 25 minutes. Only this one lasted much longer. Its still ripping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Vortex 2014 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Youngstown reported 1/16 mi visibility at 12:58 p.m. , although something could be wrong with the observational equipment (indicated by the $ symbol in the METAR).

colonel717 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 That made my winter. 2 - 6 plus inch storms so far. I don't think I had 1 last year imby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 That made my winter. 2 - 6 plus inch storms so far. I don't think I had 1 last year imby.We actually got 6 inches in Bethel Park today? I haven't been there all day because of work. I'll have to see what I have whenever I get home, although it'll be tough to measure with these high winds moving through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 This was kind of a bust down here until that last heavy line went through, giving us close to 2" total (at least 1" coming in that line). True blizzard conditions, as well; perhaps a ground blizzard issue when the winds pick up more consistently. I'd still like one decent storm total before winter ends, but it doesn't look like next week will provide it. 10" on the year isn't terrible, I guess, but our biggest event was still the ~2" at the beginning of January.

CoraopolisWx Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Impressive system, 3-5" seems to be the average around town. The blowing and drifting definetely was a bonus today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I wasn't home for the squall line, I was at the South Hills Village Mall. It poured snow there for at least 30-45 minutes. Probably picked up at least 3 inches in that time period. Drive home was pretty rough. Meanwhile, at home there is significantly less snow, then I see this picture on NWS Facebook that shows the squall was pretty weak, or at least short duration around New Ken. It is hard to tell for sure though with all the blowing snow. I know for sure I have less in my yard than when I left due to blowing. I'm out in North Apollo now at my Wifes parents house and they have at least 3-4 inches on the ground even after the blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well I changed my avatar to get Thundersnow this year. I didn't get any today but it looks like many people around the state saw some. Currently down to 8 with strong winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethel seemed to be the jackpot area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I honestly wonder what you guys are smoking. I'm sitting here reading these posts, and wondering why the view from my window doesn't look like that. I just went out and shoveled the driveway, and seriously, I doubt that I got more than a half inch. Even if it had all blown away, it'd be drifted up somewhere, and it's not.

Thunderhead Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 YNG is a manned station. UCP and GKJ are not. The M1/4SM indicates the actual visibility was less than 1/4 of a mile but the equipment reports no lower than that. Thanks for the info. I missed the M1/4 for UCP. NWS PIT measured 3.5" snow for the day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South of U.S. 22, had decent snow most of the morning, so by the time the arctic front came, said area had 2 or 3 inches of fluff already.Also I noticed on radar this afternoon, as the main line moved SE, another piece of energy converged with that line over the south hills.

Mailman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 GFS has come significantly north with the precip, enough for us to get a couple inches for the next event. Hoping this north trend continues into tomorrow. RGEM also looking to be in the same general area at 48h. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Only got about 2" (maybe 3") here today. Right now it's a brisk 3 degrees with a lovely wind chill of -12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 One thing we have all learned from these models this year is that the long range has been inconsistent. I think we need to go one storm at a time. Each system seems to affect the next. Even though things don't look good for next weeks storm we will see more after Saturday's clipper. It looks like the new path of the next storm is coming North again. Keep coming and we may end up with a surprise! BTW my temp is down to 1.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
