Winter Storm Warning for Pittsburgh area through Tuesday!!!!

[BlizzzardMan]

This is weird. They've now lightened up on our amounts a bit here for tomorrow but they've extended the snow into Tuesday and are apparently calling for even greater total accumulations than they were before. This is REALLY reminding me of Pres. Day 2 more and more now. I said this days ago. With that one, it didn't snow very heavy here but snowed for 2 days and we ended up with 18 inches out of it getting moisture off of 2 different lows. Maybe 8 to 12 inches total out of this one for this area? We'll see I guess. Here's the Warning for this area:

They didnt lower the amounts. They just spread them out more. Same amounts predicted.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Before they were calling for 4 to 6 inches here for tomorrow but it was supposed to end tomorrow night. Now they're saying 2 to 4 tomorrow, but also 2 to 4 tomorrow night and then more on Tuesday. Originally they were saying around 6 inches or so here total. Now they're saying 8 or more inches total. So, they've upped the total amounts a little.
