north pgh Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Wow. A solid over performer. 7 inches here. I just had a squall dropping visibility to near zero. Wind is really howling out of the north and snow is drifting on my roof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Awesome finish to winter. Overperformed massively and left no doubt as to its status as a warning level snow. Best March storm in recent memory and I’d probably even rank it ahead of 2018 even if the total won’t be as high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it even accumulated on any pavement really. This is a pretty darn dynamic storm and the mini blizzard at the end here is pretty awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Looks like the NWS should have stuck to their 5 to 8 call since it looks like that's what most of us will end up with. Nice late winter storm. Now I have to try to drive in this. I don't have my 4 wheel drive anymore so should be interesting.

Ahoff Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Looks like this did exactly what it was supposed to and then some. Really nice looking outside. Over 10" for the month of March. For hopefully the last blast of winter this was a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow came in early enough and hung on long enough that even those of us who slept got to enjoy seeing it fall on both ends of the storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Nice streamer coming out of the northwest through cranberry coming right into my backyard. Been snowing heavy for the last hour with gusting winds. It looks like it’s heading into monroeville and south. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I'm in Pittsburgh this weekend. I thought for sure I'd wake up this morning to find the WWA had been upgraded to a warning, when I looked out the window and there was still heavy snow falling. How much snow has fallen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much snow has fallen? 7.5” officially , prob be around 8” or so by the time it’s done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because 4.3” of that fell between midnight and 2am and I presume they felt it was too late to upgrade to a warning at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I think it’s been discussed here before that they try to keep their message to the general public consistent. Conspiracy theorists like me think there’s some sort of bureaucratic quality control where forecasters get dinged if they have to constantly downgrade and upgrade warnings/advisories, but that may be a stretch.

I feel like you could tell around midnight this had a great chance of pushing 6 inches. Not a huge deal, but I agree should have been upgraded.

CoraopolisWx Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Just got in from a measurement/walk. Averaged about 7.5-8” here in Mt Lebanon. Nice squall conditions out there, probably should’ve wore the mask though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 About 7/7.5 here. I had a feeling this was gonna overperform after seeing some of the models started showing a little tongue of heavier snow into AGH County. One thing that is interesting is how there is only 2 or 3 of it on the roads/sidewalks. Shoveling and driving were a lot easier than expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge deal, but I agree should have been upgraded. Agreed. Read my post at the time. I would also disagree that the models supported 3-6" by 00z last evening. The consensus was more like 5-7 inches. The GFS, which I posted in this thread, showed 8.3 inches for Pittsburgh. But I thought it looked pretty clear that we would easily pass the low end of that range by like 2 am, and be pushing the high end by 4-5 am unless the snow started to fizzle out. I mean there was already 2" or so by 1 am, with what looked to be an absolute monster of a band from near Zanesville to Clarion. 40+ dbz were showing up in Beaver County. And snowfall rates under the lighter colors were already approaching an inch per hour, so it was obvious there would be some 2" per hour rates under that mega band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
