Itstrainingtime

By the way...I posted a link in a post I made earlier this morning to a "Special Weather Discussion" released by the director of Met. at Millersville - Tamaqua made the discussion! The met mentioned that the Tamaqua area had about 5" of rain the other day, making them the big winners.

A double digit difference in temps between us this morning.

Some smoke in the sky but otherwise a beautiful day out there - my low overnight was 57. (official low in Lanco was 58) This was written yesterday afternoon, but here's a good writeup from MU on the upcoming pattern: https://www.millersville.edu/weathercenter/forecasts/weather-discussion.php

I'm hoping for some patented Millville snow maps this winter - and I mean this with sincerity, you are probably one of if not the most accurate forecasters when it comes to snow. I also appreciate the detailed analysis that goes with it...what did you do...learn from Horst or something?

Broken line moving into the eastern part of the LSV right now - some decent cells too. One is going just north, another just south of me.

There is nothing in this statement that is not 100% accurate. I'm at 15 mows.

Sun just popped out here and the skies are clearing - temp should respond some shortly.

Actually a degree cooler here at 62 currently.

That's in York and not MJ, correct?

Both. It's wet in the open and dry under trees. LOL

0.08" of rain this morning in Maytown. Rain has ended as skies brighten over the river.

Sucks to be you... ...on the other hand, this is what we have to look forward to: MU Weather Center @MUweather Another mean trough, or dip in the #JETSTREAM, will set up shop over the eastern U.S. through the middle of next week. As such, 90-degree heat will be non-existent, and temps should average 3-6 degrees below normal over the next 7 days. We’ll get a few rounds of showers, too.

Meh, I was a Comet in school anyway.

The city of Lancaster's school district is the Red Tornado.

I was at .11" as late as 5:30pm last evening.

I ended up with 0.34". My "issue" was that pretty much everyone east of the river was expected would do well. And most even exceeded projections. Shoot, there were areas less than 10 miles from me that were closing in on or surpassed 2". I drove home from work yesterday in a deluge - it was the kind of rain where you start wondering "can it rain any harder than this?" Traffic was moving about 15mph on a 45mph road. It's 12 miles from work to home...I got within 3 miles of home and drove out of the wall of water and right into sun. When I got home, everything was dry. This was at 4:30, my wife said it hadn't rained since morning. She couldn't believe what I told her that I drove home through.

Here's the freshly minted WPC 7 day QPF map - hmm. I wonder where the driest area in PA is on this map?

Had anything fallen up there prior to 11am? I'm only asking as I noticed it was a 12 hour map. Regardless, I'm glad you responded and made that correction. My pathetic total gets worse by the minute.

I haven't made that list in a long time - I don't remember the last time I got more than an inch.

Yeah, that sure is on a sunny day. 72 here approaching noon.

It really is - perfect day out there! (and another day without excessive heat)

You'd like to think that things even out over time but in truth, it doesn't always work out that way. Really hard to say at this point. This time of year though can be especially cruel - several years ago in late August, Mount Joy received over 10" of rain in a few hours. I recorded 6.16" in Maytown. My wife and I were at Hersheypark that day and it never rained. So, it absolutely can flood in areas while other areas remained parched.

Really only one area east of the Susquehanna that lost yesterday: Oh wait...that's where Maytown is.

I'm only pulling his a** out if I get more snow than he does. LOL

And that's exactly my point. What MDT got means nothing suddenly.
