CoraopolisWx Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The trend lately has been for the front end snows to fizzle out before reaching us. Nice surprise. Good solid covering so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Didn't get much in Bethel. Snowed moderately for about 20 minutes putting down a coating. Doing nothing now. Another case where you have to be in just the right spot. I'm too far south.Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Had some impressive rates for about 20-30 minutes then it lightened up. Looks like a really heavy band of 40dbz returns worked its way though Allegheny county, but its falling apart as it moves east from the looks of it. Got about a half inch so far.

Could be a good front end dump before changing to rain. We haven't had one of those is a while. Wasn't this much snow but I ended with 2.75 and some of the heaviest 1 hour snow event. Canadian does the best again I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate to see the end of Winter, I'd welcome it at this point. Not realistic to expect much snow from here on out, and if we do get some its usually gone within 24 hrs anyways. Starting to get the itch to get out into the garden and spend some weekends outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually think JB does a pretty nice job of predicting. He missed February big time, but called March pretty well. A few weeks ago he was talking about how he thought April would be pretty warm. Now he changed his mind? Anyone else have some predictions for April? I am ready to fertilize my grass and get spring started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to be a good forecaster until his cold bias developed to the point where it's now completely out of control. I only follow him for the fun of it. He sure is a good spinster though, which I do admire. Anyway, he blurted out something last week in one of his videos about winter returning to the eastern US for the first half of April. Then I think he broke into song, as he often does. Maybe he had just finished building a snow woman in his yard from Stella's remnants, made passionate love to "her", and managed to go into hypothermia right before he made the video. That might explain his confused state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
