Burghblizz Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Seeing some 9 to 11” reports out east of the city up the 28 corridor towards New Ken. The orientation of the heavier reports is less to do with longitude, latitude, and elevation, and likely more to do with rates and banding.

SteelCity87 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 So basically we ended up about 4 or 5" less than the big snows to our west. Not too bad considering all the obstacles we had to clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Maybe - but it can work the other way too where the measurement was where the snow drifted from. But good point as far as another reason that the numbers are all over the place.

Expand I just measured 7.5, few lower / few higher so I'm going with that. Its heavy compacted so had I measured with a snow board I wouldn't be shocked if it would have been an inch or more than that. I can't say for sure about the reported totals but when I woke up around 4:00-4:30 it was a very heavy snow, easily 1+ per hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Ok....I probably overreacted....maybe just a bit.

Burghblizz Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Nice regional breakdown of updated totals. Mostly 8+ In the immediate Pgh area. You can see our 12+ that just slid west, but also where the lower totals were SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wstaude Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I measured 5.5" in the West End. It's compacted a bit from the sleet, but I suspect not very much since the sleet came early in the event. Staying up to watch the snow and hearing tinking sounds at 12:30AM made me a bit physically ill. :( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
