Ahoff Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Really surprised in this set up that the warm tongue held off for the vast majority of the area. Rare event in storms like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailman Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 What are you guys doing in the South Hills? JUST IN: A salt truck overturned after colliding with another vehicle in Bethel Park. No one was hurt, but the road is closed temporarily -- and most of the salt spilled out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO60 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 They just talked about Pittsburgh on the weather channel. They said we could see more than 52 hours of snow, more than any other city. So we may not have the explosive totals but at least we might come ahead in something! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 NAM showing we get some action from the coastal tomorrow. Probably steady light to occasionally moderate snow all day. Thus far the primary hasn't really delivered for my yard, seems the better rates are staying just to the west right now. Will have to see what happens as the progresses.

I was there around 6 and it was getting real dicey. Tons of cars on the road too. I'm not shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 We didn't have our chains on at first and our fire engine fishtailed. We also saw somebody spin out downtown. Its pretty dicey out there especially since I have seen any salt trucks really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Looks like two chances coming up. Next weekend and then the 12th. Looks like the MJO is going into phase 8 which means prime time winter weather. All of the ingredients are there just need things to fall into place for us.

The weather on the news thios morning was interesting for Sunday. They had a high of 22 and a low of 6 (near 0 M0onday morning) with snow, not snow showers.

KPITSnow Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Fairly irritated with my employer this morning. They have the ability to delay us coming in but they have not. Am not looking forward to getting in the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutnOakmont Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Exactly 3" here. Not the best, but better than a stick in the eye. My main hope for this storm was that I could try out my new snowblower that I got for Xmas. I think that I can justify using it with a solid 3" on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Roads are horrific. Don’t go out unless you have to. Employers should Be held liable if they make people go out in stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just got back from trying to get to work. Furious with my employer that put me in that spot. I spun out on McKnight and luckily didn’t hit anything. There needs to be accountability. I work in an essential profession but is also one that could deal with being closed for the day...there was no reason to be open or not to push back opening a few hours.

Ahoff Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Next Monday morning GFS has the air temperature at -10, high of 4-5! Euro Monday has air temperature down to -5, only peaking in the low to mid single digits, then down to -12 for Tuesday, with a wind chill of -28 and high of 7! Wednesday -13 up to 10. -12 and -13 would be the coldest in many years, probably since the all-time record in 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS talking about the potential already in discussion: Also of note for late in the weekend is a pattern supportive of yet another potential nor`easter as the arctic air advances into the region. There remains variability among the models as to whether a lead wave can phase with the digging nrn-Plains trough to yield a favorable set-up for PA snow or whether the cold low-level air will outpace the upper trough. Stay tuned... It would be great to get another storm followed by a big Arctic blast. Opportunity for snow on snow for sure if that verified.

Pretty amazing they are already mentioning it, considering the Pittsburgh NWS rarely likes to mention snow even as it's snowing, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Seems like a good set up for snow. Just need it to play out that way 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Despite this January being about 2 degrees warmer than normal, it totally lacked extreme temperatures. The highest we made it to was 49. The first time since 2003 that January failed to reach 50, and the first time since 2010 that any month failed to reach 50 degrees. Doesn't look like the foreseeable future will make it there either, so we're going to go a while without feeling that warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Route 28 and the parkway were mostly slush/wet when I went through this morning. I wonder if so many people working from home and a lighter rush hour makes it easier to treat the roads. My niece is 7 and they had a remote learning day today due to the snow. Kind of interesting to think maybe true snow days for school are no more?

But they also had a huge primary storm with a great track prior to hitting blocking. We also had a nice one in 12.2003, and probably a few others. But I really don’t like the textbook exploding Miller Bs for our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Still surprised that the primary made it directly west of us in Eastern Ohio, and we still have snow. Weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
