Thanks for posting this!
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Harrisburg had its 28th snowiest Met. Winter with 36 inches of snow.
My goal for March is to get 9 more inches of snow at Harrisburg to get the overall seasonal total up to 45 inches. This would then surpass even the 44 inch total from 2013-14 and become the best snow season since 2009-10.
The 12z EPS is still advertising a pattern change back to a wintry look towards mid month.
Enjoy the warmth next week, because there is a chance that we are back to winter storm tracking for the 2nd half of the month!
We are not done yet with snow chances...March is just getting started!
The MJO looks to go from phase 8 towards 1 and then possibly phase 2 by mid month.
The Euro Weeklies show the -NAO also returning for the last 2 weeks of March.
@losetoa6
I just read the comments in the Mid Atlantic thread & you should not put up with that nonsense!
Like I said earlier, please post here in our friendly group!
@psuhoffman and @losetoa6
It seems like the rest of the Mid Atlantic forum has declared winter to be over even though March only begins tomorrow.
Please post your thoughts in our thread. Most of us in here will track every snow flake until the end is really upon us!
It is very much a back yard game to most of us. I care what my yard gets and MDT measures.
Otherwise, it doesn’t matter to me what the rest of you measure!
I have already accepted that @Cashtown_Coop will always win!
That type of extreme difference would bother me for sure!
But if the difference is relatively close, I would rather it go down that MDT got 12 and my yard only got 10.
To me, I would rather MDT record more than my yard. I enjoy seeing what goes in the official record books. The official total at MDT is what the local news reports and what history will refer back to over the years.
Thanks for the insight!
I’m sure that they know what they are doing. I just have some fun with it when I don’t get the results that I want for the Winter snow scoreboard!
@Itstrainingtime
The next time that you do one of your hilarious “Day in the Life” posts for our group, please include a few lines that mention the MDT observer!
Yes, awesome...”T” !
I guess the observer must have slept in yesterday....there should be at least .3 in the books based on everything else available. But, if you looked outside at 9am, you would have never knew that it snowed yesterday!
The pattern at the end of this week looks really interesting with low pressure in the gulf, -NAO, 50/50 low and ridging out west.
Hopefully we get a winter storm to track with this look on the 18z GEFS & EPS!
I had a car topper & grass covering. I didn’t go outside to officially measure, but it was more than a trace but less than 1 inch. The snow was still there at 8am.
Please tell this to CTP & the MDT observer!
The MDT observer’s job is simple today....He needs to put .3 inches at least on the books for our 20 inch snow February!
(I can’t wait to see the inevitable “T” that gets put down tonight....)
