Blizzard of 93

Great post! This new thread makes me very happy! First snow could be recorded in this thread!

@canderson Who won the contest?

Yesterday was # 3 all time for rain at MDT.

Thanks, this is very impressive!

The wind has really picked up recently here.

Still heavy rain in Marysville… What a historic day. It will be interesting to see where this ends up ranking at MDT.

Here is the 18z Euro…

Here is my guess for the contest : Harrisburg - 5.3 Lancaster - 4.6 York - 5.6 Tamaqua - 5.9 Williamsport - 3.1 State College - 3.3 Chambersburg - 6.1 Clearfield - 2.9 Bonus - Pillow - 6.2 Double Bonus - Rouzerville- 5.8 Triple Bonus -Maytown- 4.7

I agree, same here with the mixed feelings.

Such a classic line on these weather boards over the years…Winter can’t get here soon enough!

Yes, many examples of this over the years. I am ready to track snow! Met. Fall begins tomorrow!

Lol…I am not participating unless Pillow is included as one of the locations…!

Lol… how about we place the low about 50 miles off of the coast of OCMD for an all snow LSV crushing!

Can we please get this in January with a 1040 High parked over southern Quebec and a 980 low cranking off of OCMD ?

Storm cancel…! (I’m trying my best Eskimo Joe impersonation…!)

And congrats @Voyager ! and unfortunately congrats to me…

This is the latest map for CTP for the Ida remnants this week.

Good point and it is interesting to track even though there are no snow maps for these events to post!

Hopefully there are minimal mixing issues!

It’s really interesting to see the heavy rain in all directions but your yard and mine missed the heavy stuff this past week.

We would be good for awhile with no rain in my area. The grass and weeds were out of control this week in my yard. We even missed out on most of the heavy rain this week here.

Good points. I have learned to enjoy more of the weather in each season, but the Summer is still the one that I struggle with the most!

CTP is ramping up their language on the heavy rain and flooding threat with the Ida remnants. “A cold front will move through the region from the northwest during the afternoon on Monday, leading to scattered showers and thunderstorms. After the front moves through, there will be a brief lull in activity before moisture from Ida moves into thearea. Tropical moisture ahead of Hurricane Ida will start to advect in from the south starting on Tuesday afternoon and evening. The current model trend has been to bring more moisture northward. Models have been converging on a solution, with more agreement on the time of arrival and northward extent of moisture from Ida. PWATs at this time for Wednesday are around 2 inches. Will need to watch the development and progression of Ida for locally heavy rainfall Tuesday through Thursday and the. potential for flooding.”

Most of us in the southern half of PA do not need 2 to 4 inches or more of rain this week. Imagine if we got this Precip map for a snowstorm this Winter?
