There is going to be a wide swath (or at least long swath) of areas that got an additional 4-5” in a matter of hours. From the obs yeah some people may wind up with an 8 inch total.

TheClimateChanger Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 3 hours ago, Ahoff said: Looks like that 2.3” was at 4:00pm. The band was mostly after that time period though. Might have a little more. Airport had at least 0.03” of precipitation after that time. Could be more, as ASOS can struggle with the snow. But even that should be good for an additional half inch.

Just saw McMurray - 8.5” Havent seem an official KPIT total. What’s funny is I think the office is slightly north of the airport. And in watching the band, it may have mostly missed them even though it was snowing at the actual airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB_01 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 8.25 is what I measured in my yard. Far southern part of Bethel Park5” of that coming over the span of 5 hours this evening Craziness in that band of LESI was happy with the 3.25 that fell all day. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burghblizz Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Funny how the bigger snows circumvented the weenies fighting and made it to some good posters. Maybe being positive will lead to better snows! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I appreciate the post. I know not everyone got it today, but I hope we can all cash in on a good one when the pattern flips back in Feb. For now, outside of a few snow showers tomorrow, we’ve got some rain to contend with over the next 10 days . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the first ones to hear the sound of sleet pelting our windows.. this time we made it. It was awesome to get a taste of what the areas around the lakes get to experience. Crazy rates and an even crazier gradient. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd9108 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Jealous but you guys usually get screwed since most of our misses are usually the WTOD. I usually just look on the bright side less to shovel, and I hurt my back squating so less stress on it. Looks like a January thaw and then we reload. Let's hope we all cash in on 8+. Could this be our year for a record breaking storm? You never know. We haven't seen anything really over 12 since 2010. 2018 I think was close and maybe that one storm in Decmeber. I want a blizzard one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Spotter 2 miles from me reported 4.5”, so that’s what I’ll go with. Had 3.5” from main shield. Picked up about a half inch in about 20 minutes in the LES band. Then a little bit after that, including another littlep snow shower just now.

MikeB_01 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Two things What radar app do you guys like using? Can anybody recommend a new garbage door company? 100% radar scope. Can’t beat it. I think it’s $10 for the year. But very worth it. No can do on the garage door. Sorry. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw that. Unfortunately in this instance the official records are taken north of the airport itself. The terminal probably had close to 4”, based on that band yesterday evening.

If u move to Philly, DC or Central Park, you can see 700 day stretches before seeing even an inch. 12 miles from the airport had 10” yesterday. So let’s not carry this stat forward anymore. If the official total got it, you would have said “well that doesn’t count because I didn’t get ituhhh” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let’s not carry this stat forward anymore Yeah DC was more excited than a kid on Christmas with the 1 inch they got last week. They of course have the chance for a 1996 or 2010 storm but overall they struggle to get an inch. I'd venture to guess many would rather have our snow climo than their own.
