colonel717 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Mailman, hope you are getting snow. Looks like rain much further north than anticipated. Hopefully it isn't making it up to Brownsville. My temp is showing 39 degrees but snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Don't forget actually look outside instead of pouring over radar and models lol. Sometimes I get caught up worrying we are getting a bust and forget to just enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Snowing pretty hard in the city. Flake size has increased too. The roads are starting to get covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpark Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It is really coming down now. Just saw a graphic on accuweather forum saying our area can see 1 to 2 inch an hour rates for a little while. Looks like it is starting to stick to some paved surfaces.

Mailman Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Mesoscale Discussion 0162 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0840 PM CST Wed Feb 08 2017 Areas affected...Southeast OH...western PA...northern WV panhandle Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 090240Z - 090645Z SUMMARY...A band of moderate to occasionally heavy snow is expected to develop across the region over the next few hours. DISCUSSION...Current regional radar imagery and surface observations show an area of moderate snow moving across central and western OH, while areas farther south (southern OH and western WV) are still mostly rain. Observational trends and current guidance suggest this broad area of precipitation will continue eastward/northeastward into southeast OH, western PA, and the northern WV panhandle. Precipitation intensity is also expected to increase as low and mid-level frontogenesis strengthens in response to overall maturation of the mid-level cyclone. As a result, a band of moderate to occasionally heavy snowfall is expected to develop across the region over the next few hours. Snowfall rates over an inch an hour with brief/localized instances of 2 inch per hour possible. ..Mosier.. 02/09/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Pouring rain here. Unfortunately the longer this continues the more it cuts into snow amounts down here, especially since we don't have a lot of time with a fast moving system. I felt somewhat confident in a ~6" event not long ago, but now I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 About 1.5 inches here and snowing heavily. Only thing missing that I haven't seen in a while in these short duration heavy events is lightning. Don't think it's possible but you never know when and where. Just one strike tonight and I will be happy. (What a greedy sob I am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Pouring snow, my camera can't usually take pictures at night well, but there is so much ambient light being reflected in the heavy snow I was able to get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
