Indeed, it’s not reasonable to expect a storm of that magnitude, but at this point, even something like the President’s Day 2003 storm would at least make it not crazy to start thinking about catching some of those epic years.

Until 10 months later :-) But no, everything about ‘93 (the scale, the wind, etc) was probably once or twice in a lifetime. Nov 1950 is the twice for those above a certain age.

fishkiller2682 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Big fan of this site. I know very little about weather but I do enjoy the snow. I live in the western part of Allegheny Co and I noticed with this storm, holes kept popping up in the radar in that area. I thought it was maybe a radar issue but the totals KeefRichards posted seem to match what I saw. What causes those dry spots that don't move while precipitation continues to pour in? It's almost like there was a dome over our neighborhood. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 GFS looks like it made a move toward the European on the weekend event. Gives a colder outcome but the system looks more disorganized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line seems to be we’re still very much in the game for a subzero night this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it looks like its loading up a storm for the 16th-17th like the Euro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the first step is that the storm has to exist, even if it’s currently depicted as spreading a wintry mix across NC/SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 NWS forecasting 2-4 inches in Allegheny County from the Wed-Fri event. Also, even if you take out the Blizzard of ‘93, that winter got about 29 inches from Feb. 10th on. That would put us very close to ‘09-10 for #3.

jwilson Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 4.5" for a storm total. The late Wednesday event might be good for 1-3", while the early Friday snow may miss entirely to the south. Still watching how next week evolves. The setup is there for something, but the models having trouble with so many pieces. They can't really determine which to evolve and how.

Rd9108 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Euro just refuses to bring any real significant arctic air into the area. The GFS has held steady on below zero temps next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
