Biggest question - at least for southern zones - may be how fast this changes over from rain to snow.  Obviously a quicker changeover and we can get more.  I'm not sure mixing is ever an issue in Pittsburgh metro as you can see from the RUC data which shows the higher amounts basically Washington and north.

In storms like this it is always better to be closer to the rain/snow line because that's always where the axis of heaviest snowfall lies.

I do think this can swing either way, somewhat high bust potential, but the short-term has definitely been in our favor.  Anything over 3" locally and I get a season high.

It's crazy to say but anything over 3 is basically a season high for most of our subforum. Thing that worries me is the short range models can overdo it sometimes.

Mr I need 4 accounts in diffrent  names so I sound intelligent.  

He's not wrong though. I have always seen the the short range over do amounts.only difference is its usually a storm that cuts nw and only the short range show crazy amounts.  Btw kdka is saying 2-4. He did mention that there is a chance for more since models keep increasing snow.

Also 2010  all the short range had minamal amounts and there not a lot of snowstorms to reference this point further that are over 6 inch storms

Wow, this forum has blown up in the last 12 hours. Love tracking something...

Latest RAP still on board. Good swath of the area getting 6.

It is nice to have some posts in here! For the longest time we only had 4-5 regular posters, but over the last 2-3 years or so finally starting to get a nice group.

These storms were it keeps trending better the last 24 hours are the best, and are usually the most likely to bust high.

Hopefully we can pull off a decent 3-5 or 4-6 inch region wide event, then snag another bigger event before the season is out. Combine that with a nickle and dime event and we might make it a half way respectable snow total for the season. Plus I'd like to have a few more things to track before Spring sets in.
