north pgh Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I just shoveled my driveway and measured 1.75 inches. I imagine with another 1 or 2 hours until it quits should have 2 or so total. About what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Measured 1.5 around 10pm, back edge band is pivoting through now, getting a little bit of wind with it and some more moderate rates. Expect to end somewhere around 2.25 when it's all over but probably won't get a measurement until morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Looks like no advisory was the right call. Just a hair under 2” imby, call it 1.9”. Happy to finally see some snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It is nice to get snow when it's 15 degrees out. Pretty rare here to get it that cold and snowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my doubts on your lake effect mood flakes the other day with the westerly flow but it seems that panned out for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to finally see some snow. Same, just shy of 2", we will probably pick up another tenth or so with the light flurries / snow showers to make it to an even 2" Overall this was a well forecast (local and NWS) and most models had us in the 2-3 inch range 24 hours out, no surprises good or bad. Will be nice to have a day the looks and feels like winter today, to bad we don't have a more NW flow, with the warm lakes could probably have had a couple more widespread decent bands make it down this way. Afterwards looks like a bit of a roller-coaster ride in terms of temperatures, with plenty of tracking. It will be interesting to see how the pattern evolves and if a bigger storm materializes.

I agree, I'd take a 2-3 event like this with cold and snow showers after vs a 4-6 event that ends as rain and melts by noon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'd say with the snow activity this morning we had to have gotten another .5" to get to 2" officially for this event. Sad that 2" is exciting in January, but here we are. Only last year we were talking about over 6" numerous times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Nothing hugely exciting with this event, but when it's early in the game and you just need points, you take the field goal. The week ahead looks relatively quiet, I think. We're still transitioning from the older pattern to a new regime that favors east coast troughing. Absent something else that pops up, of course, perhaps a clipper or surprise s/w. The week after is when things start to get interesting. The CMC and GFS both have "big dog" signals on them in the longer range. Their evolution isn't the same, but they depict fairly typical major storm scenarios. Granted, for now you take it with a grain of salt, but they've been hinting at this for days now. Stand-out events like that can be sniffed out early, albeit rare. Last one was 2016. A period to watch, for sure. Hopefully we can score something with the unexpected STJ involvement. We may also have to score this month if the pattern reverses and spring starts in February.

TimB Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Nice little burst of moderate/heavy snow here this evening. Everything is covered again. Maybe another inch or more honestly. Love bonus snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measured 2 fresh inches on my driveway. 4.5 in the yard. That streamer must have been sitting over the North Hills while I was gone. Clearing skies now. Mcknight Road was a mess heading out to 579.

north pgh Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I’m liking the next 2 weeks potential. Northwest flow and enough cold. Maybe even a clipper or 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Something big is gonna pop now whether we get in on the good stuff or not is a whole different story. Atleast we are gonna have sustained cold and some positive teleconnections for a change. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably as the pattern evolves our chances improve, right now the trough axis is pretty far east, even far enough folks on the coast are talking about. Of course a perfect phase or timed shortwave can still do the job and that's the low odds chance we have in the near term. I'd gladly take a couple back to back clippers / miller b setups if we are going to generally have sustained cold in the heart of January so at least the cold isn't a "wasted". Those types of storms are probably better odds too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Where do we sign? I'm not sure how likely the evolution in getting to this frame is but I prefer this over the storm digging too far south from the midwest and heading out to sea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 The newest GFS is insane. Too far out, but hopefully it's sniffing something out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Verbatim, the GFS would be the second biggest snowstorm on record. Kuchera snowfall is 26.4". So, we know that isn't happening, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
