Reply to comment by ballsonthewall in can someone meteorologically explain why snow is adverse to pittsburgh or does mother nature just not want to see us pgh skiers happy? by d071399

The other part, as illuminated for me today, is that part of this is a radar artifact. The center of the "hole" is actually the radar site out in Moon, and as the precipitation dropped closer to the ground, the hole more or less closed around Moon (with lots of variations based on elevation).

This is because the radar shoots up at an angle, so the further from the site you are, the higher in the atmosphere the returns are happening.

Joe is no longer around to say it would. He lived in Moon Twp BTW.
