CoraopolisWx Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Unofficially 2.5” for the storm. A bit disappointed we didn’t reach climo with this storm, but the lights shining on the icy trees look nice. Lol Overall I’m still optimistic for the rest of winter, and a region wide snowstorm.

CranberryWX Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 My final numbers for this event: 3.9" new snow total (includes 0.5" of sleet) 0.2" ice 0.64" melted liquid There was 1.0" of old snow on the ground before this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Wanted to try to find which model performed the best for this storm. I found a great site to see an interactive map of the snowfall for the event. Anyone have any guesses on the model that did the best. Maybe we could look into which perfromed the best from 72, 48, 36, 24, and 12 hr before the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I am looking at this map, did anyone in northern AGC pick up 6-8? To answer my earlier question, 3k NAM nailed this one. The Euro was way to amped and widespread. Might have to start giving the NAM a little more credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect that one report of 8.5" in Harmony. The source was Twitter and we had at least one inch of old snow on the ground around here. I could see an untrained person sticking a ruler in the grass on that one. A trained spotter close by in Zelienople reported 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Btw MJO is trying it's best to get to phase 8 but it's just stuck right on the border of 7 and 8. This may keep the trough too far west but this may also prevent costals that jackpot the I95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has me right on the edge of 4-6 and 6-8" but I only got about 2.5. I passed through Moon/Hopewell area and they def weren't much higher than what I got here. So not too sure about the legitimacy of that map. Did anyone see an official total yet? I saw 2.5 posted earlier but wasn't sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had maybe 3" if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, sometimes I can live with a brief start as rain changing to snow, as opposed to a complete miss to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB_01 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Last nights new run of the EPS weeklies, doesn't dismantle the eastern ridge until mid march. I'd feel better if the ridge was slightly further east and out over the atlantic. Then i feel like we would at least have an active pattern in which we could maybe get a good storm track. No only does the ridge look solidly over us, not surprisingly it looks average for precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The great February pattern that was supposed to develop is clearly poof into the wind. At this point, I think we'll be generally lucky to get snow chances in March, but it's not impossible. A lot of the modeling right now is all over the place because of a SSW event that is throwing a wrench into the gearbox. I imagine we'll have a better idea of things after next weekend. A shame we couldn't get that pattern from early winter (December) to hold on all season long. Could have made for some really interesting weather.

Yeah, these type of events are there bread and butter for snow. On paper, we should also do well with overrunning events, but our microclimate says otherwise.
