blackngoldrules Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Zero chance it happens guys. Sorry to burst your bubble. The seasonal trend has not been friendly for heavier synoptic storms north of the Dixon. Sucks to be in the bullseye 5 days out and on just one model. Just to tease us a little before the rug gets ripped out yet again.

jwilson Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Not a lot of support from the ensembles, and right now it's the only model with this solution. It's also shown a larger magnitude storm many times this winter in the mid-range. None have amplified as advertised. If we're under 72 hours and have some consistency, then I might get interested.

Everything has deamplified. I don't see how this one doesn't follow the seasonal trend especially whenever most other guidance is against the GFS.

Low relative humidity and fuel moisture values will impose an increased risk for fire danger this afternoon. Relative humidity values are expected to drop as low as 25% during peak heating hours across southwest Pennsylvania. In addition, southerly wind gusts to 15-20 mph at times are expected this afternoon, and this will work in tandem with the low RH values to create an increased risk for fire danger. Exercise enhanced caution with activities that involve open flames or sparks as fires can easily spread in these weather conditions. $$ MLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This winter the trend has been for an extremely fast flow which has just not allowed any of our arctic fronts to phase with southern energy. Seasonal trend is undefeated this winter.

north pgh Posted Saturday at 12:39 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:39 AM Getting moderate to heavy snow currently. Visibility is down to 1/2 mile. Big wet flakes. 1/2 inch on the ground. Over performing here but I am at a higher elevation. Roads are wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted Saturday at 12:57 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:57 AM Decent little system this evening. Another band entering PA, should give northern Allegheny county some decent rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted Saturday at 01:00 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:00 AM Wouldn’t be shocked to see up to 2” in the grass here. Normally don’t love snow at night, but good timing for a little last gasp of snow perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted Saturday at 02:11 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:11 AM Most of sliding just to south of me, still had a enough to get a coating. Looks like some pretty good returns in western Allegheny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted Saturday at 03:31 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:31 AM I probably got a slushy inch in Bethel. Missed out on that heavy band earlier that hit just north of me.Sent from my SM-S931U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghblizz Posted Saturday at 03:45 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:45 AM Saw 4” in East Liverpool and 3” in Wexford. i got probably 1.5” in the grass, but the back deck looks to have more like 2”. That heavier bad went just south 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted Saturday at 09:21 AM Share Posted Saturday at 09:21 AM Yesterday’s tally of 3.3” matches the highest calendar day snowfall since the winter of 2021-2022. 3.3” also fell on February 16, 2024. The last time more snow fell was March 12, 2022, when 8.0” was observed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along those lines, we are now at 1091 days and counting with 3.3” of snow or less, and obviously very likely to add at least 250 more days to that streak. Previous record was 1015, from 2/20/1972 to 11/30/1974. That is the only other time we’ve gone two consecutive winters (let alone three) without recording 3.4” or more on a single day.

Calendar day records are silly for snow. Snow “after midnight” still counts. The airport has also just missed some pretty robust localized events in that timeframe. Not saying the last 3 years have been good, but that’s a bit deceiving. i didn’t look at official YTD, but we have to be ~33-34”. Really just needed 50 miles on one of those couple M/D like specials to have been real close to normal this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really that lake streamer the weekend before Christmas that dropped 1” at the airport and 4-6” in the north hills would have put us pretty damn close to normal. Some of us might be already pushing 40” in our backyards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard a lot of grunts and groans last night when people saw it snowing. Who knows - maybe we pull a March miracle with a bigger one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted Sunday at 04:19 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:19 PM Pittsburgh snow totals tend to be quite a localized thing. Since we don't often get even-spread synoptic stuff, the banding results in widely varying totals across the area. I know those of us in the south almost always get less than the official measurement location and places in the North Hills. A result of the microclimates. For that reason, I'd say the actual total isn't that important. Places that met or exceeded 30" this winter would be considered a win given the historical precedence combined with expectations. It's also a big improvement over the last two years which probably makes it feel snowier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
