RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hard to get a good measurement with some melting with the warm ground but I'd say somewhere between 1.5in 2in at 11am. I woke up around 4am and we had flipped to snow, but there was nothing accumulated at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutnOakmont Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I moved my patio table out to the middle of yard to be away from the house and trees to serve as my impromptu snow board. Just trekked out to measure 3" exactly as of 5 minutes ago. I would love to squeeze out 5-6" by the end of this event! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid 3 inches here and radar looks good. This morning I was thinking we were going to maybe underperform but now it looks like the opposite. Just to the northwest a nice swath or snow or some kind or deformation zone setting up and drifting south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching that area on radar, it's been just to the NW of mby now for awhile, hopefully it can push SE just a bit more as there are some steady 20-25 dbz returns showing up.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 4 hours ago, KPITSnow said: I think we could absolutely push 6 inches. The radar is looking really good right now. .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Snow will generally continue overnight as moisture wraps around an upper low tracking into southeastern Canada. An embedded shortwave will give one last southward push of snow this evening, potentially aiding in heavy snow band development along the I-80 corridor. During this last push, strong upper jet dynamics, steepening low level lapse rates and enough dendritic growth will promote an additional 1-2" of snow across eastern OH and southwestern PA while northwestern PA and the eastern ridge tops could see another 3-6" of snow. Thus, the Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories will continue. I think if the above comes to fruition definitely not out of the question some areas in SWPA push 6 especially areas already closing in on 4in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I measured a little over 3" a couple hours ago. The snow was extremely fine down here most of the day, but this last push may get us upwards of 5" or so. No complaints about this event on December 1st. Let's hope it is a sign of things to come the rest of the winter and not the exception. Heck, if we were to hit 5" officially, this storm alone would be more snow than we've gotten in 4 of the last 6 Decembers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I know it’s not a weather point, but this snow looks awesome in the Christmas lights... I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve have a nice December event with all the lights up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 This is certainly the best rates of the day. Eyeballing maybe four inches or a bit more...and the radar looks awesome at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Western Allegheny is getting smoked by looks on radar. Looks like some 35dbz returns on radar. I've been teetering on the Eastern edge of the better rates but heck of an event to start December for sure. Some areas may hit December whole month climotolgy snow totals on day one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 This shortwave energy on the backside of this means business. Nice icing on the cake Nice kickoff to winter. And with a lot of people working from home, this is the most positive I’ve seen the general public about snow in awhile (homeschooled kids not pleased I bet :-)) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChalkHillSnowNut Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Just measured total right now was just under 9”....I think my personal best for the last 3 years.....it’s been a struggle to get anything more than like 3-6 type events....glad everyone on the forum seems to have performed on the higher end totals! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I have friends in Mercer county that got well over a foot (perhaps upwards of 16-18"). That's crazy. Goes without saying but in areas with lake effect enhancement and/or elevation, this event pushed towards overperformance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea my sister lives in hermitage and she had 11.5 at 5pm....I had her beat this morning but she well surpassed our area due to the lake effect machine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
