Note from Jeff, WB1AAL: 

According to the NWS Pittsburgh:
The snowfall we had yesterday made it the standalone snowiest day on which the high temperature was 60F or higher since records began in 1948.  It was certainly a unique day of weather!

Following is the Public Information Statement that was sent out this morning to all the area media, emergency management agencies and first responders in OH, PA and WV.

Look for a moment at all the reports credited to "amateur radio." These reports came from you via the Monongalia ARES Traffic and Training Net and the Marion Skywarn Net. Thanks to everyone on yesterday evening's Nets who provided those snowfall reports.
