Itstrainingtime

Thunderstorm in progress here. Cats aren't happy.

I hope that doesn't translate for up here.

Amazing how much better you good folks did over your way compared to just to your west in Lancaster county. I'm sitting at 22.3" of snow/sleet for the season.

You drubbed me! Just .03" since midnight at home when I left this morning.

While each advertised warmup has been muted, the seasons are changing despite that fact. This is living proof.

I was thinking the same yesterday, but the east winds might put the kabosh on that threat to at least some extent.

Hey, hey, hey now! I finished with the exact same numbers of you. Who woulda thunk?

It was 31 when I came in to work this morning. All roads along my drive were just wet. There was enough brine, salt, cinders and grandma agnes's hair oil on the roads to melt an iceberg.

I saw the same thing that you did, and decided to head to the office a little later this morning than normal. There was also an accident on 30 just west of the 441 exit in West Hempfield. All of it was cleared when I came in this morning.

Happy to report the bridge was wide open with traffic moving freely when I went over at 8:45am.

I don't think a single person in here doesn't think it will turn colder. Getting snow will be the challenge.

Moderate to heavy snow falling down in a portion of MD and VA. Very intense but narrow band that is producing solid coverage if you're under that band. One observer stated that in less than 2 miles they went from SN+ to just cloudy skies.

Very dark here at work when I went out at lunchtime. Driving north the sky was much brighter and I could see blue on the horizon. Temp was 29-31 on my roundtrip from Conestoga to Centerville and back.

Wow! That is awesome data. Thanks for all of it. One other fun fact, in February, Disney World recorded their lowest monthly temp since the resort opened in 1971 with a low of 23 on the 1st.

@MUweather Due primarily to a frigid start, aggregate temps in February2026 ended up about 1.5°F below avg. at millersvilleu. For the 4th month in a row, liquid equivalent precipitation (LEP) was slightly below normal. The 3.8" of snow that fell was well below the monthly average of 8.8".

I think (?) we should all be posting in the same thread to avoid confusion and lack of continuity - some are posting in one thread, some in the other, and some are posting in both. Messages/thoughts are going to be missed this way.

It's too bad we're essentially out of time for wave 1 because it has moved significantly north over the past 48 hours. A southern VA hit is now a central to even northern MD event.

Who gave their final grade? I do think it will turn cold but I think it's premature to say there's lots of winter left. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if we got more snow but I don't think that's a given.

We typically start threads in the vicinity of the onset of each met season. We'll discuss the weather here regardless of what's happening.

Elliott didn't seem too upset to pen this today: Monday's #snow threat has essentially vanished for northern MD, southeastern PA & the LSV. The Canadian high pressure system is simply too strong & now modeled to settle into NY State, ultimately suppressing the weak disturbance. Large-scale subsidence does not equal precip!

I truly appreciate the respect but Jesus is a stretch. I'm just Mike. But I'm an old Mike. LOL

Point is - it's going to get quite warm next week. The vast majority of people will be in full-on spring mode. Quite likely for good reason... But don't completely bury winter. History has shown that it can roar back after it seemed like it was gone.

That one was sort of painful here. And somewhat reminiscent of what we just experienced. The Susquehanna separated the haves (east) from the have nots. (west) I lived in Centerville and measured 3.4". Areas to my east did MUCH better.
