Well, I hope my winter classic forecast turns out better than my 5 day for this week:
12/14- Sunny, windy, COLD. High, 38 Low 30. Winds 30+ MPH (CORRECT, except for the snow flurries on Monday night)
12/15- Sunny, cold, still windy. High 40 Low 30 Winds 30+MPH and decreasing(Partially Correct, temperatures off by more than 10 degrees)
12/16- Sunny, still cold, still windy. High 41 Low 29 Winds 20 MPH and decreasing(WRONG...didn't see the clipper on the computer models)
Below are my revisions for the next two days:
12/17- Sunny, cold, windy High 32 Low 19
12/18- Partly Cloudy, High 34 Low 18
On another note, my 1st semester at community college is finished, and I know why it snowed today. It snowed because I'm currently carrying a 4.0 GPA. Yup, A's in both classes. Scary huh.

I looked at January weather statistics for Pittsburgh in recent years, as well as the climate forecasts for this year and came up with what I think will be a good forecast for January 1st.
This year is the beginning of a La Nina climate cycle, which means average temperatures and slightly above average precipitation for the Pittsburgh area. I'm also taking into account the recent storm activity and the lake effect snows which have been really cranking over the last few weeks.
I'm going to call for high temperatures slightly below freezing, with a stiff wind from the NW (10-12mph). For the game, more clouds than sun, chance of some sort of frozen precipitation, 60%.
Come back in a few weeks and see if I'm right!
