Death Storm, Jan 2026

Nova game out of the way. Everyone had time to home safely.

Y'all be safe up there. Time to do last minute prep before hunkering down tomorrow.
 
Everyone please put your electronic devices (laptops, tablets, hair clippers, etc.) in the outlet. Keep them fully charged, especially those small portable charging brick thingees. Oh and gas tank full.

Stay safe.
 
So, how’s everyone? In FF County - so far about 4-5 in and snowing like a M F. Very light powdery snow so if it stays like that less chance of damage/ power outages.

Get the ice axes ready. If this does turn into an ice event, you will want to chop at the icicles, so that don't jack the roof off of your house.

Plus you can drop the ice into your bourbon afterward
 
We already got ten inches here in Norwalk and the snow only started at 7 AM!

I realize it’s maybe for naught, but every few hours I’ve been creating a little tunnel from our back walkway to the top of our driveway to help w the real shoveling on Monday. At the very least, it’s fun to get outside. My wife sent a video of my in-laws in Arizona.

At least you won’t have to remove snow from the roofs of your cars. Looks like only three inches on them.

I got 12 in Western New York. I guess our reputation is worse than our reality.
 
We fell a few inches short of the predicted 13-16" in south Pgh burbs, but it warmed my heart to see kids actually sledding down the unplowed streets, just like I did 60 years ago. And a special kudos to their parents who let them do it (assuming they knew).

I have some fam outside of Pittsburgh and they got smacked pretty good - the last 2 weeks we've had 3 snow days that got school cancelled early and they were all less than expected. Nice when that happens.

2 winters ago we had one of the worst storms in years where people actually died, so I think everyone is being very cautious. But the temps are also below 0 so most schools don't want kids waiting for the bus in that temp.

How far out from Pittsburgh are they? We haven't had anything more than a dusting this month till today, and I don't recall anything but dustings in the forecasts. The Laurel Mountains got some, but that's like 90 minutes to the southeast.

Today got hit pretty good, no? They're in the general area of Irwin. They sent pics of a pretty good snow fall.
 
My mom's finishing off a four-week stint at a short-care facility after breaking her leg Christmas Eve. She's trying to convince me to pick her up today and bring her home, but we've been cleared for her to stay until Tuesday. IMO, it's chaos to bring home an elderly person to live alone with a broken leg while the roads haven't been cleared, but she's still trying to convince me that the snow isn't as bad as I say it is, LOL.

About 14” in Grafton (just outside Worcester). I’m essential, but when i saw the forecast was for 2” per hour and whiteout conditions (pretty accurate prediction) through the afternoon and into the evening, I knew i wasn’t coming in early to sleep over for my shift like i was initially expecting to do. Luckily, since the storm started and therefore ended a few hours earlier than initially expected, roads were about as good as one could hope at ~6am
