CoraopolisWx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Impressive band movin' through now. The sad thing is that this might be the steadiest and heaviest precip we get for the whole event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackngoldrules Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I was just going to say that. After this initial band, the rest of the precip moving in is light with breaks in it. We'll probably get a good portion of our accumulation from this band. After this, it'll be periods of light snow the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 So, seems the NWS is thinking we will have at least light to moderate snow til about 9pm tonight. Snow has lightened up here but it looks like another heavy batch of green about to move in. It looks to be moving quickly so I think the heavy bursts will last half hour or so and then lighten up over the next 4 or 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Band not all that impressive in greensburg. Snow has lightened up considerably. Looking at Radar greensburg looks to be on the eastern fringe of the snow bands which seems to match up pretty well with what the models showed.

CoraopolisWx Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm wondering if 3-5 is too bullish.... It's gonna be close, because that 3-5" is going to have to come mostly all from synoptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I'm wondering if 3-5 is too bullish.... Probably to early to say that, but I am wishing I would have kept my initial call of 2-4 now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
