KPITSnow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Woke up and finally snowing heavily here, but just eyeballing it I'd be surprised if I have more than 4 or 5 inches. I guess I will get to 6 or so, but just a total waste of a storm as I would imagine there are going to be some massive totals out in ohio. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Got a couple hours of sleep bit woke up to some great bands. (By the way, I should have taken King Weenie’s bet since NWS total is closing in on 7”, and it looks like some 30 dbz are about to rotate in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what was worse the dry slot or the sleet. Dry slot. The sleet never seemed to fully transition for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Official total so far from 5am is 6.1". Still lightly snowing, at least a st looks like the backend could hang around for a bit. Maybe we officially squeak out 8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I measured 7.5” at my house just now. We’ll just round that to 8 and say this thing was only a small bust, not a complete bust. Good to finally see snow again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 3 additional inches overnight. 6 inches so far. I’m guessing another 1-3 possible this morning. Wind is howling. It’s cold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burghblizz Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The radar pivot and banding last night was awesome. I can’t see that .47” at the airport being accurate, but I don’t think a 2” hour was out of the question. I caught more the tail of that same band and it was rippin. A line from Weirton to Beaver falls will break a foot. That area did better with avoiding a prolong dry slot before everything pivoted. Most of the rest of us got caught up in it a little too long. Still a beautiful morning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The prevalence of 6"+ storms over the last two seasons has been nice. I do hope this is a trend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatwad Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 000 FXUS61 KPBZ 171302 AFDPBZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 802 AM EST Mon Jan 17 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure moving across the Mid-Atlantic region will result in continued snowfall today. Afterward, cold weather will persist all week long with intermittent snow chances. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Frontogenesis and vorticity advection are still very much present and contributing to overall ascent on the back side of this eastward propagating trough. As evident per 12Z KPIT sounding, much colder air, nw flow has initiated with a saturated profile. Snowfall will continue to accumulate, heavily at times, depending on location and enhancement within frontogenesis. An additional 2-3 inches is generally possible, especially north of Pittsburgh. Several more inches are likely in the higher elevations as upslope will be favored. Sustained wind speed and gusts will increase in the higher terrain of the WV and PA Alleghenies on Monday, which will likely result in blowing snow and lowered visibility. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Tonight, coverage in snow showers will gradually taper off, though isolated snow showers will remain with lake enhancement of lingering vorticity advection and upslope. Light accumulation is possible Tuesday morning in the WV ridges and Laurel Mountains. Tuesday day will be cold and mostly cloudy, with a cloud deck attempting to erode from the south through the day. Look for highs in the upper 20s to low 30s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Low pressure propagating sewd across the Great Lakes will provide the chance for precipitation on Monday, with likely a frontal passage that could result in progressive precip chances of rain/snow mix. Long range model ensembles indicate that a cold stretch is likely, with low temperature progged in the single digits on Thursday and Friday nights. && .AVIATION /13Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... IFR with periods of low-MVFR and LIFR will persist through the morning as a low pressure system moves northward across the Mid- Atlantic. The most significant restrictions will occur in a deformation snow band as it pivots across just about all area terminals, with likely sub-1SM vis and CIGs under 1kft. With the exception of ZZV, terminals should receive a few inches of additional snowfall accumulation. Cold northwest flow on the backside of the low as it departs will result in continued MVFR CIGs with scattered lake-enhanced snow showers. These showers will gradually taper off Monday night into Tuesday with CIGs gradually breaking up in response to incoming dry air. .Outlook... Widespread VFR conditions are likely to return mid day Tuesday under building high pressure. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...Winter Storm Warning until 1 PM EST this afternoon for PAZ007>009- 013>016-020>023-029-031-073>076. OH...Winter Storm Warning until 1 PM EST this afternoon for OHZ039>041- 048>050-057>059-068-069.

The snow map shows a report of 7" as of 7 am at the NWS office at 1 N CARNOT-MOON. I believe that's where the official snow records are observed, not at the airport. Given the continued light snow over the past two hours, would have to think they are up to 7.5" or so by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say 8"+ is a lock for the official storm total, although double digits are probably unlikely unless a few random heavier squalls were to occur in northwest Allegheny County.

TimB Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Forecast discussion mentioned ensembles suggesting an omega block locking us into a cold pattern for the balance of January. Great for snow retention assuming we can get most of it to survive Wednesday, not so great for additional storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Shafer Road in Moon - which is like a mile from the airport. So it essentially mirrors what you would see there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s technically not correct, but there’s a reason that’s where the office is located and not in the city or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 6.0" down here in the south hills. Still snowing. Measuring is pretty difficult considering the blowing and drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 We got at around 7" on the ground, probably tough to measure due to some blowing around. Heavy to shovel though. Definitely don't need to go to the gym now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I got some awesome pictures from my family today. Mom and Dad still live in Youngstown. They were expecting 12"+ and that is what they got. My sisters live around Cleveland. They woke up yesterday thinking 4-6" of snow just south of Cleveland. My sister measured 13.2 this morning at 7am. Looked awesome. Definitely jealous of the total, but i love the way it looks outside right now. 6+ on the ground and good rates coming down. Disappointing, but such is the game. I'll take the beauty any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
