Total Snowfall projections

By now everyone knows that a nice side winter storm is moving our way. This storm will become very powerful. Somewhere within a few miles of the Pittsburgh are will see over a foot of snowfall. I think in downtown Pittsburgh - 6-8", South of Pittsburgh 4-8" and North and East of the city 8 -12". Some of the storm might produce some sleet and freezing rain especially points south of the city. This will be on Tuesday Late afternoon early evening. All these numbers are based on models produced at 7 pm (0 Z) time so I will be doing a full report of this weather event by noon. And doing more throughout the day. Maybe just maybe PSU BR, MK, and NK will get an off day. I'm doubtful unless we get up towards a foot.
