Ahoff Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 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 Share Posted January 6 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 Share Posted January 6 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 Share Posted January 6 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 Share Posted January 6 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 Share Posted January 6 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 Share Posted January 6 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.

Ahoff Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Nice and heavy now. Looks like the NWS was correct about models overdoing the warm tongue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
