Picked up less than an inch. The local news reporting shovels to be used and salt crews out on the roads was another waste of time as roads and sidewalks were just wet and now are bone dry. Bring on the heat, humidity and thunderstorms.

 

Looks like this could be the last day of the white stuff, Tuesday morning we may see a few flakes, but after looks like it warms up as week goes on and gets into the 70"s by next weekend and we could stay there for a period.

The Nam and Gfs were both pretty consistent with the system being an I-80 special.

I was surprised the Nws went even as high as 2-3" for the Pgh area.

It's funny you mention heat and humidity.

Because this system would've produced widespread severe weather. Lol

I was on the edge. Lot's of lightning and thunder just south of me. picked up .24 inches of heavy rain. No wind.

I think the hail core was very small. I got it in Bellevue, but my parents in west view didn't get any. I was basically bullseyd on this. At one point visibility dropped to about a half mile it looked like.

This pattern is lousy for us golfers.  I just ordered new clubs and I hope I get to try them out soon.  Very much looking forward to the eventual pattern shift, though who knows when it will flip for a meaningful period of time.  June?

Pattern is lousy, but a lot of Mets said blocking in Spring was a strong possibility. Looking forward to an end of the cool and wet weather.
