Itstrainingtime

Heavy shower with some thunder in Maytown.

After several hours of cloudy skies, things have cleared off and temps have responded...now up to 73.3 and rising.

70 here. Feels humid as well.

I hate to try and speak for someone else (quite dangerous to do so!) but I "think" he's referring to a general, accumulating snowfall, and not just "flakes in the air." I mean, the May snow days were just 2 years ago, so I don't think he's ignoring that. He's simply saying that the chances of snow falling and accumulating in late April are exceptionally rare. In fact, the only "snowfall" I remember falling during April was on 4/6/1982. That event was probably as anomalous as one can imagine...a noon temp of 26 with heavy snow and wind and snow accumulating, blowing, and drifting on every surface imaginable. The only other April snows that I can recall down this way occurred at night and/or did not stick on paved surfaces. Flakes flying in the air in late April? Sure. A general snowfall that accumulates during the day? Can't recall that happening.

Elliott on Monday: My attention then turns to a storm system moving northeastward from the Carolinas to the southern New England coastline from Monday afternoon into Tuesday. Although the air mass ahead of and to the northwest of the system will be unseasonably cold, it's almost impossible for snow to fall in southeastern PA during the daylight hours in mid-April. The fact that temperatures will rebound into the upper 40s to low 50s before precipitation arrives in the afternoon makes it virtually impossible for snow to occur. In the highest terrain of central and northern PA (above 1700 feet), precipitation will arrive several hours earlier with temperatures only in the 30s. So, I actually do expect a light (1-3") accumulation of snow in these areas.. but only on non-paved surfaces, of course. However, precipitation should remain solely in the form of rain across the Lower Susquehanna Valley

7th inning freeze at FNB Field.

68 here. It's breezy but I can't (or won't) complain too much. It's about as close to perfect as it can for me.

Sunny, sensational, and 64 just past noon. Working (distractedly) from home the rest of the day. My grass needs mowed...(7th time coming up later today)

This year? I've had 2. Wow...

MDT must have been under the influence of the chilly waters of the Susky yesterday. Most areas just SE of the airport were comfortably into the lower 80s...

Even I support this. I want my Thanksgiving to be chilly and Christmas to be downright cold. Well, neither of those happen very often anymore. But I've always liked a warm Easter. Good day to get outside and stuff.

Sunday is going to be a chilly day no doubt. "Chilly" as in 53 in the Historic District, 41 in Rouzerville. LOL

I need to get back to the Island this season. I used to regularly go to 15-20 games a season, the past 3 or 4 years I've only been to a couple of games total. Always a great day watching baseball in Harrisburg. Far better experience than a MLB game.

Mid 40s on Easter Sunday afternoon? Yeah...no thanks. Positive...at least it's one more day that it isn't unbearably hot and humid.

Historic district has now fully transitioned over to another season on the heat island. LOL

I have so many staffing issues that I just can't pontificate as much as I'd like. I contribute as I'm able...sometimes it's probably pretty random because I can only steal a few minutes here and there these days.

Only got down to 45 here. Currently sunny and 48. It's going to be a postcard day, and it's going to feel as good as it looks! (not too hot, but plenty warm enough)

My first granddaughter turns 3 months old in a few days. Holy cow does it go fast. Treasure the living crap out of your beautiful little girl.

As an O's fan I can sorta kinda relate. LOL

We just don't do sustained cold like we did years ago. I know, that just sounded like an old guy saying something like "I used to walk to school with snow up to my waist" kind of stuff, but really...as a kid, it was an expectation that we'd be able to play hockey on local ponds for weeks during the middle of winter. Ponds don't freeze that solid that long anymore because it just isn't cold enough, long enough.

I said as much this morning in a post. My AC is still humming nearly non-stop. Still 59 degrees here now.

Picked up .12" of rain. Temp is currently 64.

High here was 83, now 78 and mostly cloudy.

Clouds starting to make inroads. Current temp is 82.3
