Then have had 4 in 11 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And compared to Columbus and Indy at a similar latitude, PIT has had way more big storms. Expand Yeah, it’s not even close with Columbus and Indy. C-bus has been hurting as I don’t think they cracked 6” in like 7 years. We are in the game far more often, so take a lot more L’s. But the net result is more big storms than all of them. Like I mentioned before, YNG was on the NW fringe of most of our really big storms, even though they tend to swipe some of our mid sized ones.

Gordo74 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Shoveled the 2-3” this afternoon in Ross. Interesting observation - the surfaces that got sun on Weds/Thurs had slush underneath. The ones that did not had ice. Probably about a half inch of sleet on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 This is a nightmare to clean up. Just sleet and ice underneath the snow. Only downfall of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Beautiful night out for a walk. Fluffy snow falling. Picked up another 1/2 inch tonight and still snowing.

Briefly heavy snow with big fluffy dendrites. Probably picked up a fresh inch with this latest batch, I prefer daylight snow unless it’s late season / marginal temps but watching those big fluffy flakes fall through the street light is fantastic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It's kind of funny that in the end we are probably going to end up with 3-4 inches of snow after all is said and done, just didn't get there the way we thought we might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't come to agreement until the day of. It was weird looking at the 12z GFS and CEM today and seeing that they seem to be 100 miles apart. I'm guessing they will eventually all come together but as always we get sucked into the the best one for us (GFS this time) If it comes down to the rain scenario at 33 mixing and changing to snow let's hope we can score at least 2-4 somewhere in there whether sleet or snow. (This is why we all criticize NWS for being cautious because it is the best thing to do) But it never fails that we all get sucked in days before hahaha!

Very impressive. . Expand Their official snow depth this morning was 5”, not their official total from this storm. At least that’s my interpretation of their post. Still, 19 days (20 including today) with 3” snow pack is indeed impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The other thing I’ll add regarding that stat is we also had a 20+ day streak of continuous 3” snowpack last year, and it looks like the only other time this has happened in consecutive years was 1977-1979, which of course are pretty much the gold standard for pack retention in our area. Also, even more mood flakes today after the sunny start. Regardless of what happens from here on out, this will not be a winterless winter by any measure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
