colonel717 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Roads were bad this morning. I drove from Bethel Park to work in Robinson. Not one single incident. No ice on roads for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Main roads out here were just wet.. I love people who continue to take back roads in this weather and complain about road crews, while main roads are good. I have a relative who belongs to Nemacolin resort, and he sayed that the roads are kept up in that area very well. And lucky for you, the area where you live, there aren't many roads to cover.

JamieOber Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I agree that the last event did not satisfy my "big storm" need either. Certainly a nice front end thump....then 48 hours of nice of on and off LES. No complaints here, but it was what it was. I looked at Pittsburgh's snowfall this year, I had no idea you guys were above normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwg8tr0514 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Roads were bad this morning. Skating rink this AM in the driveway, I have some mounianteering spikes I can attach to my boots, work great, can walk on even the slickest ice. Broke out the 20 buck a bag Driveway Heat this AM, been sitting on that baby for a year now. Friday storm...meh, NAM giveth, NAM taketh away, much drier this AM. NAM has us at .5-.75 QPFand GFS is even less generous more like .25-.50. So fanatsies of 6-10" maybe out the window by tommorrow, unless the models are back onto something.

Of course the berm had ice on it, but overall crews did a great job on what could have been a mess. Yeah, I figured this far out we would lose some QPF, Still looks to be a 2-4" with more East and North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lwg8tr0514 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Has anyone checked henrys call for Friday?... I haven't had a chance to look Not as beefy as yesterday, but things could change. I would say more a 2-4" non event right now, the trend the last two models runs has been drier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's 12z looks a bit better than the 6z NAM though still nothing close to the .5 the 00z NAM gave us in 12 hours.;l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Looking at both the gfs and nam runs, one constant has been the strong 300mb wind/ht. The energy looks to be there, along with a slight neg tilt to the trough as it approaches the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northpittweather Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 yeah tonight, there might be some icing and snow in many places, it could be a suprise little event and then to the storm on Thursday and Friday, my call at this moment for Pittsburgh is a 6-12 inch snow, the models with this reminds me a little bit of the storm from Feb 5th and 6th of last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even ultra weenie Henry M on Accuweather said 2-4" for the OV. With the jet screaming like it is, this baby will be in and out of here faster than the roadrunner.

northpittweather Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 please enlighten us with the models that you believe support a call of 6-12. NAM gives us between .50 and .75 of precip + temps of 15 to 20 F during most of the the storm + snow ratios of 20 to 1, or even higher that would = about 7 to 14 inches of snow or so , and that's by the 18z NAM Winter Storm Watch will being going up pretty soon, watches are going up west of us, and the HWO all over Eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Since I spent some of the best years of my life living in Mt. Washington and Dormont, I figured I would share these two links with my fellow Burghers: http://www.wxcaster....models_text.htm http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/bufkit/data/cobb_nam/nam_kpit.dat Very handy. And go Stillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
