Rd9108 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 LOW is not as far east as Bernie thought so most likely we wind up with little to no snow. Time for bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he ever been right...I made a point to not listen to him this year then I go ahead it set myself up for false expectations just looking for that glimmer of hope..

north pgh Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Fr rain has turned to snow here. Seems to be moving west to east. Don't know if we will accumulate much as the storm moves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if we will accumulate much as the storm moves out. I'm thinking an inch is probably the best any of us that are still raining can manage. Roads were pretty bad until I got into Delmont this morning, from there South temps spiked from 32-33 to 38 degrees in Greensburg. I had a half inch of slushy sleet mixture on the car this morning and drive way was solid ice in some spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psunate1977 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I drove from Ligonier to Irwin and Didn't see any ice. Roads were wet. Every school is closed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel975 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I haven't measured it yet, but we probably got 8 inches of heavy, wet snow. Tree branches are so weighted down, that they're touching the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelCity08 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 One things for sure, upper 40s are going to feel great this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 One things for sure, upper 40s are going to feel great this weekend. Upper 40s then back to the fridge after. We still have a chance for a bigger storm. CMC had a HECS for the midatlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 One things for sure, upper 40s are going to feel great this weekend. Yeah, we probably have a shot to break 50 on Saturday, but both Friday and Sunday should make it well into the 40s. Of course prior to that we have one more chance for light snow showers Wed evening from the clipper, then a reinforcing shot at some cold so the ground will likely be covered by a glacier after all the rain soaked snow and sleet refreeze but I have little doubt the 50 with sunshine will have much trouble melting that down. After that, our next storm shot looks to be 24th-26th. Ensembles have the track all over the place from to far west and to far east but that's the next potential threat window.

I am not posting any maps until at least next Tuesday for that storm. That storm from 0z GFS Para looks to be similar western apps track to this one, only stronger with potentially a lot more rain....I expect at some point over the next 7 days we will be shown as jackpot for 12-24 inches to get every ones hopes raised...

I don't mind seeing the maps, even at a far out range. Part of the fun is seeing digital snowfall on the models. The viewer of said maps just needs to be grounded in reality that at range the map is only showing one possible solution, and its not until we get within 4 days do those represent likely outcomes.

SteelCity08 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 In the 9.5 years I've been on here and eastern we've had about four or five 8" storms. Around eight 6" storms and of course one 20"+ storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the roller coaster ride is half the fun. Then seeing those models come to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our area is tricky especially if theres any sign of a warm tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCity08 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just gotta keep expectations low. Our area is tricky especially if theres any sign of a warm tongue. I think part of the reason our expectations get so high is we see the east coast cities getting hit with 20-30" storms on what seems like a yearly basis. We just don't have the dynamics in play like they do. I've been getting better with not getting my hopes up too much and staying realistic with our climo. As a 19 year old on eastern I had to be unbearable lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I am really just getting frustrated by getting fringe only a county away on numerous occassions. Last year atleast storms trended 100 miles north at the last minute. Rant over Feb 24-28 and March 4-8 are our next shots at winter storms. Now we wait for the first clown map that bullseye's us.
