KPITSnow Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I got about an inch in Wexford so really nice surprise. That was much like an event last year where we got 2-3 inches when it was supposed to rain and had dynamic cooling kick in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 NWS Pittsburgh @NWSPittsburgh · 17m Our official snowfall today for Pittsburgh is 1.6 inches! Our average first 1" snowfall is about December 4th, so we beat that by a few weeks. In fact, an inch of snow this early has only occurred 4 other times since 2000. Snow weenies, rejoice! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 We're at 2.2" of snow for the month just .2" off of average. Not a bad start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models indicating the possibility of something brewing for black Friday. Looks like a miller B type setup with low odds but if you are in the mood to track could be first threat to keep an eye on.

The models have been pretty consistent with showing some sort of storm Thanksgiving weekend and have moved away from the idea of a massive cutter. Also wondering if we could pick up some light snow tomorrow afternoon with a disturbance rolling through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wondering if we could pick up some light snow tomorrow afternoon with a disturbance rolling through. Looks worth monitoring radar tomorrow morning for sure. NWS makes mention of some potential for heavier snow or even a squall. Friday will continue to be cold, Hi-Res models portray snow shower potential increasing with the passing shortwave passage from late morning through late afternoon. With reinforced cold air from the west, CAPE could increase between 20-35 J/kg and convective snow bands could hold together. Nevertheless, models indicate a very well defined vortmax associated with he shortwave moving in tomorrow morning just after 12Z with strong winds aloft. The potential certainly exists with the amount of instability present for an isolated heavier band or even a snow squall. Thus have upped snowfall amounts a tad and included all of the Ohio counties in the HWO. As well, the better agreement with the hi res models showing better instability coupled with mechanical assistance from the terrain in the southeast, the totals in the southeast were raised to 1 to 3 inches. A Special Weather Statement may be needed or even a Winter Weather Advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the airport got a foot, but the city and places north have stopped snowing for quite some time. It’s south that will get the epic totals. I don’t think there are a lot of posters from actual in Buffalo here, but it would be interesting to see how a typical weenie would react to have 4 or 5’ 20 miles down the road and not get it. Our thread would be NUTS. I have to think most there would take it in stride just due to the nature of LES, AND the frequency of snow in general.

TimB Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 If today’s high of 32 so far at PIT holds, it’ll be the first day we didn’t get above freezing since March 28th. The 234 days in between will be tied for 9th shortest on record and shortest since 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
