north pgh Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Heavy snow for the past hour. Picked up 2 inches. I had to shovel my driveway out. I have a steep driveway. A surprise as I have to go out shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 18 hours ago, RitualOfTheTrout said: Yeah, I feel like when I was a kid we almost always had a stretch like this in winter. I remember getting smaller-ish storms, and sled riding then followed up like every other day getting another 1-3 or 2-4 with snow on the ground adding fresh powder to our sled runs lol I'm sure my memory makes it seem more frequent than it probably was but this is the type of stretch I've been missing. Still wouldn't be mad if we scored a bigger storm somewhere along the way. I think these stretches are still quite common in an average to good winter here. How else would we average 40”+ while whiffing on big storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Update focused on handling band of light to locally moderate snow showers across the central CWA, in a band that likely has its origins from WNW flow off of southern Lake Michigan. 12Z PBZ sounding shows saturation through most of the dendritic growth zone beneath an inversion at around 760mb. Many of the CAMs did not handle this well, with the NAM3km nest being the one model that has something close to reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 This is definitely a more classic Pittsburgh winter, with many small northern-stream events flowing through the CONUS. This isn't a big storm pattern right now - too much interference. We generally want these things on our side: -EPO, -NAO, -AO, 50/50 North Atlantic low, but right now there's too much of each. The -NAO is too far south. The -EPO is way too strong and influential on the downstream flow. The giant North Atlantic trough is shunting potential development. It's a good pattern, in theory, but in practice we just have too much confluence and not enough southern influence. If something like this setup in a moderate El Nino base state, I could see the potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the coldest model run I've ever seen for here. At least we know that it's very unlikely to happen, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It looks like some snow bands to our northwest. Some of us may wake up to another inch of fluffy snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Looking ahead i like this look as shown. -EPO with a little southeast ridge to help steer a storm up and not out. Looks good for overunning. Let's see how everything evolves. In the mean time we have 1-3 to look forward to for the weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Light snow is starting now. That snow hole (dry slot) that was showing on all the models has held tight for the last 2+ hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you will verify the higher amounts and points south will get the 1-2. Enjoy it. I'll take it since I'm at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some areas already with 2-4 on the ground that weren't even in an advisory until they just recently upgraded. Still need to see how it plays out but nothing but a few flurries here so far. Probably will be lucky to get much more than an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrrr has the hole modeled pretty well, also shows it filling in later but I think the damage is done given we've missed a couple hours of snow already.
