KPITSnow Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Just now, north pgh said: I agree. Nobody is changing anything in our area not even WPC. Are they being cautious or do they not trust this WTOD? Fingers crossed. Remember it is nowcast time. F the models and time to sky watch. Ehh..I’m reading the lakes thread, and it sound like everything is busting on the southern side. I’m honestly thinking we could see no snow.

jwilson Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Even the short-range models can't agree. Honestly, we'll know soon enough. If the precip starts as rain, welcome to Bust City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutnOakmont Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 What I don't get from some of these models is that the low bops around Kentucky, to southern West Virginia, to Virginia, and then to Northeast Maryland. It doesn't seem to cut through PA like I saw earlier. So how much farther south did we need this thing? Should it have been bopping through Tennessee and North Carolina?

north pgh Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 The weather channel has just changed my local forecast to periods of rain with occasional mixing changing to 1-3 inches overnight. That was what the majority of us were saying on Monday. You can’t argue with history. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Rain/snow line appears to be advancing rapidly north and east. It's already 33F here, so I don't hold out much hope for a front-end thump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 btw I would like to be wrong and start out and get a surprise front end thump of snow. For all the people that lurk on here and don’t post we all want it to snow heavily but unfortunately this happens. Some days it will happen but most times it will not. Next week we will all be back here doing it again. It’s fun and it’s our hobby and we can’t help it. Heck I’ll be here all weekend and will be excited tomorrow when we get our backend snow and wind and cold and we will be watching next week. There is nothing wrong with it. I went through it as a steelers fan this fall. Nowcast time....I have some light white snow pellets falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 If you want a laugh, read the NE and NYC threads.... I think anyone that lives there and complains should be forced to live and track storms here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but we average ~40 days of accumulating snow per year, which is the 3rd most behind only Cleveland and Buffalo among major US cities. (And I think this is a little better place to live for a lot of reasons) So some others would laugh at your relentless complaining — esp those that average half as much snow and still get big storm droughts. All relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Meh, less to shovel tomorrow. Seems yesterday the guidance started putting more emphasis on the back end snows early Sunday morning. I still think care has to be taken early this afternoon for slushy freezing rain in the typical spots, but by this evening might just go on with normal Saturday plans.

All relative. Huh? The NE corridor has had multiple historic storms in the last 5 years. Yeah, great, we get 40 days of snow a year, but 35 of those are less than an inch. I’ll gladly continue to complain as we live in probably one of the worst areas east of the Mississippi for big storms, and we are constantly 50 miles away from a huge hit in every direction. Block me if it bothers you, and I think most of the forum will agree with me. Edit: And yes, this storm has gotten to me. Watching the foot plus amounts continue to push further and further north was truly frustrating, and it happens all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 At this point, I'll be surprised if we get any accumulation at all today, especially south of the city. Temps keep going up and precip is arriving late. We'll see how the backend does later tonight but certainly won't be the predicted amounts overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PghPirates27 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Of course. Wanted to take my boy out during the day in the snow. Now it’s going to start after dark. This sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block me if it bothers you, and I think most of the forum will agree with me. A lot of your perception is off because parts of I95 have had an historic run (not sustainable), and nobody pays attention to areas to the Southwest. NE is NE...they have no right to complain ever The long term is a little different. I wouldn’t pack your bags to Cincinnati, Indianapolis, or DC to find more snow or big storm frequency over long term. But there IS a complaint thread that is awesome to debate that. Agree that this storm is frustrating and sucks since it was on the radar so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 As if we needed any more confirmation this isn't happening the Euro. I think our best hope now is an over performing backend once the cold gets pulled in. Maybe we can grab a quick 1-2 so the ground isn't bare for the arctic blast..
