Having just discovered this forum , I'm probably screwing up by posting here , but anyway.....
I was born in Oil City and lived there ( actually out in the country ) until age 14 when we moved to Florida . I remain somewhat interested in the Western Pa weather tho . I kept detailed weather records as a kid and still have them . These were from the 1950's . I remember the anticipation of waiting for a snow storm . Of course in those days , we weren't bombarded with weather media as today and some of the storms came as a total surprise to me. I do remember long periods of snow cover , and having found this forum I will dig out my records soon and verify my now 50+ year old memories . I was able to go to Pirates games at Forbes Field and made one game at Three Rivers in the 70's , and hope to get to PNC one warm summer day soon ! |

I only wonder will this storm bring us more FR or sleet. Not sure if it really matters, but then again it does. The FR I think acts like glue and just sticks to everything.
What do you all think, rain or ice. -------------------- [font="Comic Sans MS"][/font][color="#FF0000"][/color]

I just hope there are no injuries because of it! -------------------- Not snow starved this winter of 09/10: Approx.. 85-90 inches
Feb 2010 beat our snow record in one month with approx. 45-50 inches |

We did get some freezing rain overnight here (40 miles west of Pitt). There are alot of school closings and delays and it is still below freezing for now. We might see a little snow, maybe an inch, this afternoon.
