Central PA Spring 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread
Voyager replied to Voyager's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Whatever ripped on the Blue Mountain out my way was nasty. 309 was closed for 14 hours for cleanup. My night shift partner hit it and thought it was going to flip the truck. -
As long as we keep a fire going, the heat from the stovepipe creates a hollow cavity around the stack, even if the snow accumulates a foot or two higher than the pipe. But obviously shovel it out as soon as possible just to keep it free and clear and to avoid ice issues. The first thing I did when moving here was to reroute the furnace exhaust off the roof and have it exit the sidewall up high just beneath the roof soffit. That worked out well until this year. Keeping the snow cleared is a job you def don't want to fall behind on.

I was gonna post a picture of the 2" I got but nvm

I was just reviewing 93/94 winter 87" up here seemed similar to this year

Back to winter today. Around 3" here on the deck. Jackpot was right around 87, there looked to be 4-6" in that area. I missed out on the meteor, but some pretty incredible videos of it out there!

Nice one in the south hills right now . -
Back to the midgets here. After the Jan 25-27 fluff bomb we were 31% over the average YTD. The 7 weeks since are just over 50%, and falling.

This is literally insane that has to be a 10 foot snow drift. Did you have to unbury your heater intake or chimney?

@Jns2183 Thank you again for sending these my way. Is there a way I can download all files at once Or do I have to do them all separately ? -
We had forced air at our back settlement house in Fort Kent. We'd turn down the thermostat when we would be out of state visiting family. When we returned and turned up the heat, the furnace turned on and off a half dozen times in about a half hour while the air warmed up the walls/furniture and such.

Change your I p address make a new screen name, go back and give em hell. If they block your I p location, you'll have to get an I p location blocker and VPN make a new a new screen name, go back and give him even more hell . At that point, the only way they can block you is by closing down member sign up. -
I honestly think measuring snow would be a full time job up there. Even here, when you get the stretches where it snows daily and there's snowpack you to make sure you've cleared ample room to measure the next day with blowing and drifting. Even with just average snow, the long lasting snowcover this winter was frequently drifting over the board. I dont even know how or where you'd even start to do that with feet of pre existing snow. I have to imagine all the reports are the observers best judgment.

Yep, i noticed that as well. Winthrop COOP was identical to BOS in virtually every event. Same thing with BDR for a long time, over a decade. The Trumbull COOP was identical to BDR which means the BDR ob was not taken in Stratford itself i guess and actually in Trumbull? Or vice versa. It's impossible for me to know for sure where these obs are taken at each airport and how they've moved or changed over the years, so i just place the ob right over the town that the airport is in and for BDL that's Windsor Locks and BDR is Stratford.

29 for a low and 39 for the high so strong March sun did not make much headway

I don't know how much people where following my post late Sunday night and Monday, early morning., but when I saw the warm sector start to completely fill with blips,the whole northern periphery of the line waning and not a single rotating cell overnight I knew something was way off from all the evolutions I had seen to that point. Part of me felt like this severe weather threat was going to be to be quite muted at that point ,but also no better than to state, something like that given the situation. I also had mentioned that if we were going to fail that it would be a thermodynamic failure, but I think that was probably pretty obvious for a lot of people with neurons. .It actually wasn't just a thermodynamic failure as you already know, it was also a wind field failure. I was noticing going through the wind at m working with each other and flow, and not against. I'll have a little more confident to speak up next time I see it. I apologize for my outburst before the storm . Even though I believe there's truth to it, I didn't handle things properly at all. I just wanted people to stay the hell away from me until I can do what I wanted to do without getting flustered. I just started posting before thinking as usual. I also didn't realize until going back and reread everything that it probably looked like I was just talking about you and that's certainly not the case. With me everything is always accumulative and nothing to do with anything that one person did and i'm very sorry. I actually care about every single person in our sub even the people I don't like them. Anyways, I just wanted to get that out there. I'm still far too exhausted to really think clearly. Work has been rough today. not a lot of fun being out here feeling like this. -
Wow that seems sudden unless I just did not know that he was ill

here's some 2-day CoCoRAHS snow reports from WI/MI

Colder air has returned to the region. After a low in the upper 20s tomorrow morning, New York City will see a high near or just below 40°. Thursday will see the temperature return to the middle 40s. Readings will then return to the 50s for Friday through the weekend. The major weather story this week will be the super March heatwave that is now developing in much of the western U.S. March monthly records are likely to be smashed in numerous cities, including Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Fresno, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Phoenix, Reno, Salt Lake City, and Yuma. Already, Camarillo, CA reached a March record 96° today. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.0°C for the week centered around March 11. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.98°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.15°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring. The SOI was +1.87 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.492 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 84% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 45.1° (2.3° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 2.6° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

Where is this?
-
Yeah, would way rather have it this way than the other. On paper 17-18 was good but the majority of the snow fell from Feb-Apr. Same with 04-05. 10-11, 13-14 and 20-21...also very good winters that had a dead March. Last good March we had was 2019 that was right at the beginning. 2018 was the last real banger.

Very sad news. Rest in peace Rodger.

You referenced a train like noise so something nearly tornadic must have been within 1/4-1/2 mile and might have been in those neighbors area

The rain I got in the afternoon was a 4, the one hour temp drop a 4, the wind a 3.5, the tornados and lightning a 0. i still maintain it’s not “too short of a notice” to decide about schools at 9/10am because everyone’s on alert and watching already to see if early dismissal is wise Using the night before info is not wise
