blackngoldrules Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 What bothers me most is how unprofessional The Weather Channel has become. They are just a bunch of snow weenies hyping every single minor detail of this storm. I miss Joe Denardo and Bob Kudzma. I wonder what they think when they turn on this crap. As bad as they've gotten, I'd still take them over AccuWeather in a heartbeat. I used to complain a lot about TWC when I had it. At least I could catch the local forecast on that channel and see local stats and radar. Accuweather is completely useless in that regard. May as well not have any kind of weather channel at all.

People I know in and around Philly got ~4" of snow and ~4" of sleet. I would say some models didn't necessarily bust that badly on QPF out there, but almost none of them picked up on the intense warming aloft that got as north as the Poconos, probably because the track was actually further West than expected. My brother got about 4" of snow plus some mixed stuff in D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatwad Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 000 FXUS61 KPBZ 142338 AFDPBZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 738 PM EDT Tue Mar 14 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Upper low pressure will maintain cold and snow showers through Wednesday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Upper trough pivoting over the forecast area overnight will keep strong northwestrly flow and cold advection in place with continued periodic snow showers. Overall snow accumulations will be muted with drier air moving in at lower levels and enhancement in the ridges will be muted as temperatures aloft become too cold for efficient snow production. Rates may pick up slightly around daybreak in the ridges with the upper low progged to be east of the region at that time and the temperature profile begins to shift warmer back into ideal temperatures for snow growth. West of the ridges...localized areas of higher accumulations of up to 3 inches are possible overnight and tomorrow morning as hi-res models have been consistent in hinting at bands setting up as flow becomes more northwesterly and favorable for a possible Huron connection. Overnight temperatures will range from the mid-teens to high single digits at higher elevations. Wind chill values will be in the low single digits across much of the region...down to as low as -10 at highest elevations as winds remain gusty under a strong pressure gradient and low levels remain mixed. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... The cold, unstable northwesterly flow resulting from the troughing aloft is likely to support convective snow squalls through Wednesday, then diminish into Thursday as the mid level cold pool is moderated, the trough fills, and boundary layer flow backs toward the west. Surface ridging will build over the region on Thursday, but colder than average temperatures are likely to continue until warm advection resumes on Friday. Lift ahead of and along the warm front will support a period a wintry mix before changing to rain. With some slight timing differences, opted to hold onto a model blend, for now. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... A deepening trough advancing across the Great Lakes Region will support precipitation chances through Saturday. Less amplified flow is progged for early next week with crossing embedded shortwaves maintaining precip chances. Temperatures are expected to remain below the seasonal averages through the period. && .AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Areas of light snow, general MVFR, and local IFR in snow showers can be expected into Wednesday morning as low pressure aloft encroaches on the region. Some improvement is expected at ports south of I-80 corridor Wednesday afternoon. Gusty NW winds 20-30kt will also accompany the persistent pattern. .OUTLOOK... More restrictions are likely weekend low pressure. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...Winter Weather Advisory until 8 PM EDT Wednesday for MDZ001. OH...None. PA...Winter Weather Advisory until 8 PM EDT Wednesday for PAZ007>009-074-076. WV...Winter Weather Advisory until 8 PM EDT Wednesday for WVZ510>514. && $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Maybe it's just me getting older, but I'm definitely not a fan of this weather. Bitter cold and nuisance snow showers just aren't my thing. I'd rather get a nice snowstorm and then have a moderating trend right after. Being teased with that warm weather we had last month probably didn't help either. Never been an LES fan anyway because you have to get lucky and be in just the right place, and then you usually don't get more than an inch or two at most out of a band anyway. Usually less than that. I'll take the 50s and 60s again over this. That's just me though.Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
