Itstrainingtime

Radar says you're in for potentially 2 more rounds - first is hot on the tail of the current storms, then there might be a break before the next wave moves in later.

I'll be singing that for the next several hours...

Radar over central and western PA right now...it looks nothing like it should for this time of year.

We are pretty much right in the middle of the advertised epic pattern that was showing several weeks ago. The severe weather reports from the past 24 hours have been just that.

If that verified, I'd have a snowy drive to work in the morning.

That...is truly great stuff right there.

If there was any of that around here, I slept through it. And I'm a light sleeper so I'm saying no storm. Congrats for getting on the board!

57 this morning with rain. 0.08" has fallen since midnight. Pretty good shower currently here at work.

CTP removes any mention of snow here for tomorrow night. Rain moves out by 8pm.

Confirmed spotter TOR in the western suburbs now.

That cell heading towards the city is insane.

That's 0.05" more than I have.

Only because Howard got pissy again.

That's what Carrie said.

I hated Traveler's Advisories growing up - it was like spying my mom's fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and her offering me apple slices.

2018 - heat wave ended with a TOR warning for Maytown. We had severe experts from the overall forum in our thread discussing the significance of the threat that afternoon. Blizz and I got in an argument earlier in the week (event went down on a Saturday) where he said there was no way temps would reach the 60s let along the 70s...well, we almost made it to 80. It was humid, too.

What is the criteria for an upgrade to a wind warning? CTP has roughly 25-low 30s sustained with gusts to upper 40s. I'd think if that played out it would be an advisory?

It is 63 now as we're still holding on to sun...

It's 11:22am and 62 degrees on February 27th...

Wow, sorry I missed that. Saturday must have been one of those "tales of 2 different weather days" between us - it was sunny/mostly sunny here with temps in the 40s. Nothing at all like what was forecast for most of last week. And as you mentioned, not windy either. It was downright nice in the sun on Saturday. Edit: Just checked my daily numbers and it was between 40 and 43 at home between 10am and 4pm. That's when the slide began in earnest.

Actually, the watch states that the effective date is from March 3rd until further notice. That further notice might be April for Franklin County.

Wait - you had snow the other day? When was that?

Meanwhile - back here in Central PA, I found this on CTP's website: URGENT - SPRING WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service State College PA 10:08 AM EST Tue Feb 27 2024 Adams - Blair - Clearfield - Cumberland - Dauphin - Franklin - Lancaster - Lebanon - York Including the cities of Carlisle - Cashtown - Clearfield - Harrisburg - Mount Joy - Lancaster - Lebanon - Maytown - Rouzerville - Summerdale - York 148 PM PST Mon Feb 26 2024 (this watch does not include Perry County, including the snowy hamlet of Marysville) ...SPRING MOWING SEASON WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MARCH 3 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE... * WHAT...Increasing likelihood of the 2024 mowing season commencing. Central PA residents are on notice that the mowing season may soon begin. If mowing becomes likely and imminent, the watch will be upgraded to a warning. Residents of Maytown will likely experience mowing conditions first. * WHERE...Much of Central PA. * WHEN...From Sunday afternoon until further notice. * IMPACTS...Grass heights could exceed 5" or more in areas susceptible to significant grass growth. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Stock up on gas now for your lawn mower. Make sure that your equipment is safe to use and is greased and ready. Be alert for sudden rises in lawn growth, and take action once grass heights exceed 5". For residents of Marysville, blindly ignore this watch and focus on keeping your snow blowers gassed and ready. There is no emergency assistance in Perry County, so you are on your own if your grass starts growing while you're posting snow maps.

Ladies and Gentlemen, and fellow snow weenies - if you ever have the chance, you really should make a trip out west to Mammoth. You won't regret it. I know I miss it: Going to be some epic video in the coming days.

Snow accumulations of 1 to 3 feet for communities along Highway 395 with 3 to 6 feet along the Sierra Crest. Winds gusting as high as 70 mph in the lower elevations and above 100 mph over Sierra ridges. * WHERE...Mono County. * WHEN...From late Wednesday night through Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...Travel could be impossible due to blizzard conditions. Very strong winds could cause extensive damage to trees and power lines. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Storms of this magnitude are rare and capable of closing major roads and damaging power infrastructure for extended periods of time. Make sure you have food, water, and a secondary heat source for more than several days in your home in case of extended power outages. If you must travel, do it before the storm arrives as travel may be impossible once the storm arrives.

I think we're just getting high in general. Whoops! Not a very HR-like comment!
