KPITSnow Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The models were HORRIFIC with this event. Yes, they were correct a day or two ago, but had the evolution wrong as they gave us 3 or 4 inches yesterday, and that wasn’t close. Then they all backed off to nearly nothing yesterday. Now, it looks like I will end with a nice 6-10 storm, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 The upper level low saved us. We may end up with more snow than Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Rates here aren't good enough to overcome late March climatology. Dry air invading the southern edge. I'll take my 2" and run. Not a bust based on expectations, I guess, but not exactly great. I'm done tracking for this year, though. Wasted enough time as it is. Glad it worked out for someone!

Burghblizz Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Westmoreland upgrades to Warnings. i think Allegheny verifies too in the 12 hour period from say 2:00AM to 2:00PM.

Probably due to the eastern extent of the CWA versus the western extent of the Allegheny CWA. They would figure to be in it longer. Im on the border, so I’ll claim it!
