Ahoff Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 Snow just starting to fall in the southern part of the City. Just a curiosity, it seems during snows, like this one especially we are always battling too dry air at the start, but snow fills in all around us, like this morning with the storm. Is there some reason for that, or is it just preception. I mean for a surrounded by water, I'd think the air would be more moist to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PghPirates27 Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 I was wondering the same thing. I think it’s probably related to the topography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChalkHillSnowNut Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 Up here, even at my elevation it’s been nothing but ice/rain and little snow mixed in… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 Nicer rates at the moment. Hopefully, that mix line is held at bay. ChalkHill, hopefully the line sags or shifts away for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 The penndot cam site is a nice real time tool to compare with the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 Starting to lay. I assume the temps will drop a bit as rates pick up. Lots of green and some yellow returns on the radar. mix seems to be staying put for now. Edit: the 5 minute obs show KPIT already dropped 2 degrees, and AGC is already down to 32.

Looking at the NWS radar lot of yellow returns coming in for Washington County. Should hit most of Allegheny. However, it does look it the radar is drying up near Parkersburg. I would assume the low is jumping to the coast at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 I'm down in Washington right now. It's snow with sleet mixing in at times here. Big flakes coming down. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted January 6, 2024 Share Posted January 6, 2024 When I first got down here, sleet was mixing in. Now it's all snow. Seems like the colder air is winning out so far. The WTOD being held at bay for now, even down here where it usually changes over or mixes sooner. Gonna be a fun drive back up to Bethel.
