I don't have an inch as is probably the case in most of AGC. We will see if we can catch up a bit. I doubt it though. I live in Crafton, 4 miles from the city. We have 1" easily.

KPITSnow Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Ok all, since I am obviously ticking all of you off, I will TRY and tone it back a bit. Just for the love of god, if I mention a model shift don't lose your minds on me.....but I will stop the constant bust talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 7 minutes ago, KPITSnow said: Lol. The reports from the storm last week all had areas right around the city at 6-7 inches. I am not making that up. Today, again, I have an inch at most, and I think most people around the city and south would say the same. Last December I had probably over a foot while the airport got less than 10 inches. I had more with that one and was a great storm but was our only really good storm in the last decade. Everything else has been a whiff. I do get what you are saying to an extent and I’m not sure where you live exactly but I’m sure there are certain locales within our general region’s microclimate that do better consistently and other that would be slightly lower. I know for me, comparing my home to my office in Robinson it does seem like Robinson gets maybe slightly more (I’m talking like a couple of inches max) per year. But it is dependent on the event. In the bigger storm last December I had an inch or two more than at the office. I just think overall there isn’t enough variability throughout the region to sweat a few inches per year. It’s not like Cranberry is Deep creek haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailman Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Isn't there a banter thread? Anyway... rates have picked up a little bit down this way. Roads are a little on the dicey side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Yeah, I probably hit about 2". Haven't measured, but eyeballing what was on the cars about an hour ago makes me think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Rates were diminishing the last couple hours, but just started cranking as the back end is coming. Right around 3.5” at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I drove home about a half hour ago in Bethel and the roads are covered in spots and wet in spots. Steady snow still falling here.Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Officially 2.5" at the airport. Another bust in the books! Just a joke. Pretty much right where they said, but still snowing, might make it to 3". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Nice big flakes on this back edge. A little over 2 inches. Very fluffy snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I'm probably going to end with about two inches. Not a bust, but I would imagine places near butler got 4-6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Jesus, this thread today is virtually unreadable. All I wanted to know was how this clipper worked out while I’m out of town and it looks like this went from basically a non-event when I left on Friday to a solid clipper putting down a couple to maybe a few inches. It’s hard to see how something like this would “bust” unless the ground truth ended up being a coating or something in that range, which it didn’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowed a lot of the day and still coming down where I'm at. We seem to usually get the most out of clippers here. It's those big storms that we usually get screwed on.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Wow, briefly heavy snow just blew threw here on that backend band. Almost like a mini squall line. Will go out to measure once that winds down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs to not @ me, but instead go to the complaint thread. No one wants to hear that shit anymore. It was a fantastic winter day. 3.1” officially, with a lot of 3-4” reports. Some 5 and 6” reports in Beaver and Butler county. Some 2” reports to the south and some of the lower elevations around the city. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 And a little perspective here: today clinched an above normal January for snowfall. We’re at 16.9” for the winter, normal through this date is 20.2”. To be at 85% of normal season to date snowfall is pretty solid given how horrific December was. It hasn’t been an epic January, but it’s been a good to great January that checked more of the boxes than it didn’t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'd say if you enjoy winter weather than this was picture perfect day. Snow falling heavy at times during the day. Can't really ask for more. As far as forecasting this was dead on NWS had us 2-3 with Butler country 4 or 5 and that's exactly what happened. Are we really gonna complain over two inches. It's not like 2016 where we got 4 inches and just southeast got 12+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up with nearly 3 inches even though it looked like earlier we might not get more than an inch. It doesn't change the fact that last weeks storm massively underperformed. But you jump down my throat immediately, the minute I say that a model trended the wrong way. So maybe you should also simmer down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about you saying the model trended the wrong way, it’s about you throwing a fit 2 hours in when you have .5”, and declaring a bust.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Ended up with a solid 3 here. I'll echo others sentiments, this was a perfect winter day. Snow on snow, it all fell mostly during daylight hours, no temp issues, a few bouts of heavy snow, forecasts were spot on. Let's see if we can score another win tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoyed it, good for you, but it was a massive let down for me. But I'm done talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
