That would qualify as my paste bomb. Euro has been pretty flaky this season and its probably over amplifying it. Upstate NY has been doing pretty good, at least lately. Makes me wonder if 30 years ago that would have been our area getting slammed, or not I still think this season would probably have been lousy in any era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Whether next week pans out or not, I’m happy to get a day that looks and feels like winter today. Snow on the ground, snow in the air, with temps hovering in the upper 20s and wind chills in the low teens. We really haven’t had many. Aside from Christmas, have we had any?

Pittsburgh just missed an even worse snowstorm later in April 1901 that dropped 20-40+ inches of snow in eastern Ohio, but dumped about 4" of rain in the city with the worst flood until 1936. Parts of West Virginia also saw more than two feet of snow with the first storm that did hit Pittsburgh. If the atmosphere was capable of producing 40" of snow in Ohio in late April of 1901, surely a foot and a half is possible in Pittsburgh in March even with climate change?

Steady light snow now for past hour with little brief heavier bursts. Starting to accumulate on the roads now. Have to admit I was surprised snow lasted on the ground all day despite sun angle.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Should be interesting to watch this snow squall potential develop today. Time of year should help boost instability by the time it gets to our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Not really feeling the snow squall potential out there. Looks more like light snow flurries given the minimal humidity to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 This one entering western AGC means business - but likely moving through quickly. Ground whitened in about 10 min with basically wind driven snow grains. Edit: now wind driven fatties. Edit^2: hasn’t stopped but sun has emerged melting most of what has fallen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were only 5 colder high temperatures since January 1, that I could find - and none by more than 5 degrees. 27 on the 1-14; 29 on 1-31; 28 on 2-1; 31 on 2-3; and 28 on 3-14. Plus, yesterday's 32F reading wasn't hit until nearly 6 pm, aided by the lengthy daylight. Early afternoon was still in the 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 31 was a midnight high and afternoon temperatures were in the mid teens. I don’t know about afternoon temperatures specifically, but other than around Christmas 2022, I think the last time PIT had a high in the mid teens was probably 2019. So I’m counting that as “quite cold,” as we went three consecutive winters with nothing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 If you want some snow go visit Bryce Canyon in Utah. I vacationed and hiked there in the Fall. They average 100 inches a year.
