friday pittsburgh

with rain in the forcast for the remainder of the week + the snow that didnt melt as it should have today I would expect if the rain comes everything will be blown out come this weekend

This weekend is a gamble...
 
My prediction is that I'll be hanging with the family at home is my nice warm living room!

i see all the forcast but im not sure if its minimal or a lot so i guess its just a play it by year weekend is there a lot of snow on the ground now?

It's interesting Weather Underground and Weather.com have dramatically different forecasts fo rthe next 6 days.

Also interesting, as it's mine too.
 
However, many here have said over the years that weather.com is notoriously inaccurate at Erie, and W. Underground is more accurate.
 
Who knows.
 
I'll either have pics of flooded creeks, booze and fires
 
or
 
fish, booze and fires.

if you really think about it, the only creeks that are unfishable are ones that are completely dry.  I fished Friday with very low and clear conditions and landed a 12 and 7 pounder and there were a lot more caught.  I also fished twice Sunday, am H20 level was up a bit but still clear (no fish hooked) and the afternoon was almost like friday but the flow was a little higher.  I still managed to hook and land 2, a 10.5 and 8.5 pounder.  So it's up to you if you want to make the drive.  My drive is about 4 miles west, so my decision is easy.  Besides, it gets me away from the wife, at least for a few hours

i've only been on the west side

most of the snow/slush has melted or will melt by the end of the day... haven't been the creeks yet but the snow is melting fast.

any more thoughts about it being blown out

Your going to need about 6 inches of rain to worry about the creeks begin blowed out. And the tribs def need about 6 to 8 inches of rain to get them back to where they should be for this time of year. Does someone have the valve shut off ?
