Ahoff Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I like seeing back to back seasons with multiple 6"+ storms. Hope that's a trend that continues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 This will push the seasonal total up near 40", that's pretty respectable considering the dismal December and slow February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think if Febuary would have been a little better than I could call this a B- maybe B winter. We wasted some cold air occasionally. However; overall not bad at all. Two warning level events, some smaller clippers especially the one during the day, surprise on wednesday, respectable squalls, some really cold temps, and a few weeks of a decent snow pack. Honestly I wish December would have been better too, but I'd call it a C+ if it ended today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May honestly be fairly near average to a slightly below average one, but not a total loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 What a great overperformance this one was. Last night and this morning ripping heavy snow and a general 6-9 inches from that, then windy artic weather that felt much more like January and March, and some of the best drifting and blowing I've seen around here in a long time. Then to cap it off, tonight another inch or two in places from the LES event. Official total at the airport will be the biggest of the year and will likely go over 10 inches and honestly may approach 11. I can say with confidence that I got 10+ out here in the North Hills as well between the initial synoptic event and the trailing LES. This will absolutely go down as one of our bigger March event I would imagine? The rest of the weather was pretty meh, but we got about 8-10 inches of unexpected snow this week and a great 10 inch storm to close the season. Overall, this ends up not being a bad winter at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 This band parked over Butler County looks amazing, especially since you don't usually see these sit over areas and dump like this for this long that far from the lake. Someone under it might get 4 inches judging by the reports out of butler and looking at the 422 traffic cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Yesterday’s storm brings us to 39.6” officially for the season, which is exactly where we should be through 3/12. Looks like I got my single digit low at PIT, latest since 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think It’s the same thing that skewed the totals with the MLK storm. Those aren’t all event totals. And even the ones that are late, aren’t tacking on the on and off snow that came later. Yes the western part of the county got more of the midnight death band, but some of those totals are a little under represented because of the time of the report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donyewest Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Ha! I'm starting to think there's a lot of people that can't use a ruler or like to measure to report the deepest yard drifts. NWS office was the highest pinpoint total on the map for the 3/11-12 event, contour smoothing be darned. But, it got the official Pitt season to the average, I guess...it all came out in the wash (The accumulation map for 3/11-12 isn't great for up here in Butler either, no way we got 6-7".) I am sorta glad though as I missed planting grass seed at the right time last year because I waited for mild spring temps but then it didn't rain when we got them. I didn't even wait for the snow to melt completely this time around. Time to put away the winter gear, happy we got decent January totals and some deep cold through February; almost makes up for the absurdly warm December and our (currently) overshot March temps.

Burghblizz Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Looks like we will have the quantity of flakes to get that half inch - just depends on timing and rates. (And temps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Assuming guidance is coming in colder, since NWS point and click is now suggesting mostly to all snow showers Saturday during the day. Edit: that changed overnight, it’s now mostly rain during the day Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
