Blizzard of 93

Their old motto says that their priority is to “protect life & property”. I fully understand criteria & evaluation based on solid numbers. Sometimes “close enough” is directly on point to accomplish a goal. Does the general public know the difference between a Heat Index of 98 versus 102? It is HOT & Dangerous for certain activities...they should do what they can to put the word out. These Advisories & Warnings get the attention of people.

I realize that there is criteria, but I think that they should follow the spirit of the law instead of the letter of the law more often. I understand that they need to draw a line somewhere, but they should at least try to coordinate more with their regional border offices. I also find it interesting that at least the entire LSV is not in the Advisory, especially when all of the MD border counties (except for Garrett) have one posted. It is like not putting up a Winter Storm warning because they forecast 5 inches of snow instead of 6. Is it better for them to follow their criteria to “win” that battle, instead of adhering to their main purpose of warning the public of extreme weather?

Let’s play a game, find CTP on this map...we must be on the cool island here.

I see that CTP decided to put up a Heat Advisory for only a small part of the LSV...? No Advisory for me, @sauss06 or @Bubbler86 , so we should be nice and cool over here with no concerns for excessive heat! Somehow, there is a Heat Advisory for the southern tier counties of NY, but only a few counties in CTP seem to qualify?

@MAG5035 Is there any hope for this terrible heat pattern breaking down any time soon?

I’m a little surprised that CTP does not have a Heat Advisory posted for this weekend. Mt. Holly has Advisories posted for the counties that border CTP.

It won’t be too long before I’m posting 384 hour snow maps again!

It sounds like last Winter!

Yes, those of us from around the river on west would have been really frustrated yesterday if this was a Winter coastal storm! Some of us would have had a car topper while others not too far away would have been buried in heavy snow!

Yes, that was interesting here as well yesterday along the river in Marysville. We had some light to moderate showers that did not add up too much. You could see some blue sky to the west while the clouds were rotating.

Congrats!

30 or 40 inches of snow next season would be great to go along with some cold temps too! Heck, after the total failure of last year, 20 inches of snow next season might even seem awesome!

@sauss06 My family went to Dairy Queen in Summerdale last night around sunset. We were treated to a local fireworks show that appeared to be launched from several yards in the area! I was wondering if you were one of those putting on a fireworks show from your yard?

Lol! I only think that they measure snow wrong when MDT records less snow than my yard!

Yes, same here. The precip in west central PA fizzled out last evening before reaching even the western LSV. It sounds like we have another chance of a shower or storm by early this afternoon.

A heavy shower rolled through here in the last couple of hours. Yet another day with no watering needed for the plants or garden this week!

Yes! Only 68 days until September!

Maybe next season we will get a top 10 good snow season to make up for this year!

Franklin & Adams really must have missed out on the rain that most of us had over the last couple of months.

Also, the weather has been absolutely fantastic the last few days. This is about as good as it gets for mid June weather.

I have traveled through 6 different counties in the lower Susquehanna & Juniata Valleys over the last few days. Every county has looked very green. I see no signs of drought anywhere. I just cut the grass on Sunday & now it might need mowed again by tomorrow. Also, the weeds are never ending. There is no drought in my yard.

Absolutely perfect June weather weekend! The next few days look very nice too!

The dew points are now in the low to mid 50’s in the LSV and down to the 40’s in northern PA. Sunday should be a beautiful day with temps in the 70’s and No humidity. I will consider that a nice win in June!

Yes! I was thinking about that as well earlier today. Less than 3 months to go until met Fall arrives!

Yes, absolutely perfect weather. Today and tomorrow should be great as well!
