SteelCity08 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah it looks like even an NAO may pop up which would make the cold even stronger. Lets see how it plays out. I for one will enjoy a week of 40s and no snow. It's going to be incredible.. Hopefully it's warm for the parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Didn't they used to have Mods on these boards. This stuff getting old. 19.9 here. I think NWS Pit did a good job once again with these projected totals. It looks like a general 2-4 in the north sections and 4-8 in the South. I feel bad for poor Morgantown gets his storm and has to miss it. It always seems to work out that way. Did they get close to a foot in some areas? Shoveling is done. Feeling a little better and ready for Spring and some Thunderstorms. Although..........................................I will take 1 or 2 more shots of a decent March Snowstorm.

blackngoldrules Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's going to be incredible.. Hopefully it's warm for the parade.That parade will forever remind me of the Blizzard of 93. The morning that storm started to hit, they went on with the parade. I also remember eating at an Eat n Park that morning and watching a seagull out the window trying to fly against the wind. Just stayed in the same spot for the longest time hovering in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I was old enough to remember storm or the 1994 storm. 2010 was awesome and all but I wasn't a weather nut and I was shocked to wake up to 2 ft of snow. I do remember looking at the NWS alerts and just seeing the totals increase each update. That was probably the storm that got me interested in weather.

I have the WPXI Tape of the Storm of the Century. They have highlites of the Parade on it, watching the marching bands marching in a foot of snow was pretty awesome. National Georgpahic had a nice video on it also, more towards the forecasting end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 GFS has like a 1047 H and Euro a 1038 H after the warm up. I doubt it verifies that strong but I don't think we are out of the woods yet. From my recollection end of march snowstorms are not uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Overall the storm was as expected. If more of the energy had been released, this could have been a good one. Talks of a possible -NAO have been around. We'll see I guess. However that would help give us one last chance at a big inland runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Jeff v's call of nothing a day out really flunked. Also, he actually made a post yesterday to someone that asked if the roads would be bad last night that he would be ok in pittsburgh. The roads ended up being atrocious last night. Driving back from the gane was as scary a ride as I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving back from the gane was as scary a ride as I've had. There should be more accountability for that type of thing. Not just go on like he didn't blow the call, I mean no accumulation? Sounds extreme but people's lives are legit at risk over things like that. Anyone of us could have said we would see at least 2-4 from a couple days out. Yet heres a pro met, on air met to boot, completely ignoring every model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see how much time they actually put on a forecast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all agreed that sounding the panic alarm was unneccessary, but downplaying the snow as nothing was not smart either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all agreed that sounding the panic alarm was unneccessary, but downplaying the snow as nothing was not smart either. Something as simple as, theres a system coming that has potential to bring accumulating snow. To say no accumlation in this past situation just seems irresponsible to me. Just not sure what he has to gain by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
