32 at dawn with some frost, hope this is the last morning with temperatures this low with frost till fall. I'm ready for sustained warmth.

As long as it's not hot - I agree with you. The only thing good about cold these days is that it's not hot. I'll sign up for 70s gladly. 

Actually, according to ESPN, all 7 that tested positive were fully vaccinated. At least they're asymptomatic to this point.

Wow, we only got to 60 today and its already down to 48 with a DP of 34.   Still think we avoid frost with those DP's though.  Temp differences have been fairly extreme this spring.  We have elevation but a 10-15 degree difference is pretty big. 

I'm radiating pretty efficiently this evening, already down to 54.

So 7 Yankees have Covid and 6 were fully vaccinated with the JNJ vaccine.  That is pretty big news. 

I just saw that, and it is big news. Sigh. I just don't know what to think...

After math of the rain.

River JUST crested here less than 1.5' below the action stage - pretty remarkable considering that down here, we haven't had much rain. Everything that you've received over the past week or so, just came downstream through here.  

Got up to 71 today. It's a delightful 67 here just past 7pm.

Not quite yet... 

67.3 here - feels even warmer in the sun. I'm very comfortable to almost a little warm.

Training Time! 

Well...one issue is the clothing. WAY overdressed for a day like today. It's a t shirt and shorts day out here.   

63.1 and spectacular at 1pm. Perfect day to work outside.

Bottomed out at 38 here last night.  Just a beautiful stretch of weather incoming.

Beautiful indeed - not much rain in sight though. For those of us that didn't get much last week, I'll be spending a lot of time watering my flowers and veggies.

True. But you have to admit this is the first spring where we didn't go into Summer Heat in a long time. I know you would want that but it actually feels like Spring Weather for a change. Hope we can get back to 4 seasons again. 

As a father who just spent years watching his kids in spring high school sports, I can tell you that we've had many very cold and windy Aprils lately. Maybe May has turned hot, but we watched a lot of very cold April baseball games...

What a beautiful morning! Sunny, 51 and the sky is a blue. Going to be a great day to get outside. 

Last year I had gas but no toilet paper to deal with the problem - now I have toilet paper sitting around because of a lack of gas...

February 2014 was pretty snowy.

You are correct, and I completely forgot a big storm on the 12th that dropped over a 1' here. Thanks for bringing that up, without looking at my records, I had forgotten about that.

We will be only a couple months from being back to normal at that point (per Fauci) 

So...yeah. Some things are better left alone.  

I was grumbling a little over the weekend about rain, or the lack thereof, and my wife reminded me of what happened last year when we went to the Outer Banks in early June. (we're returning once again this year) 10" of rain over the first 4 days of our week's vacation. 

I'm totally satisfied with all of the rain we received this past week. It was more than enough...

I think so as well but I hear it a lot on the boards in general.  Not this one as much as others.  It usually starts when the LR models do not show a great January...the "February is when we score big anyway" talk starts. 

I know that every winter Horst talks about February being Lancaster's snowiest month on average...and we had snow this past February. The last big ones that I remember in February were the 2 in 2010 - and that's all I remember since 2003 or 2004.

FWIW,  MDT normal at this point would dictate ~13.85" so you are about 1.5" behind normal at MDT.   Not too bad.

Also an interesting tidbit.  It's a common theme that our "big snows" are always in February.  February is by far the driest month of the year, on average, at  MDT, by almost 1/2" vs. the second driest which is December. 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder if the long-term averages will change over time on that - most big snows over the past decade or so have all seemed to fall in March, January, and December by my memory. February has been a poor snow month (at least big snows) for some time now.

What's your YTD precip total?  I'm at 12.32".

I'll check when I get home...I think I'm higher than that, though.

I failed you with my enthusiasm.  Model reader hex on me. 

My expectations were exceptionally low - once I saw the track of the LP, I knew I was cooked.

Ahhh.....That is me as well. I'll admit to that now. 

It's hard not to inherently place trust in them - I saved myself a lot of frustration and disappointment during the winter once I stopped relying on models several years ago.

I only got .03" yesterday and .26" cumulative for the last three days, meh.  Did hear some reports of sleet around us on Saturday though.  Looks like a chilly but mostly pleasant week ahead before some more prolonged warmth tries to build in starting this weekend.  Onward....

Exactly what I got yesterday...I got .28" for the weekend.

Maybe another burst coming later, right? 

We shall see- sun is out here, heading for the river trail now.

Forecast high is 59 … it’s currency 48. We’re not getting there by any stretch. 

Hmm...56.6 here...

At 1:15PM it is 44 degrees with a sustained wind of 20 and a wind chill of 35.  Happy Valentines day everyone. 

Finished with .03" of rain. Cloudy, a few breaks in the sky emerging and sitting at 50.0 degrees. (It did drop from 52 down to 47 during my 40 minutes of light rain,  but temps are starting to rise again.)

A little light rain falling here now and 52.2 degrees.

I think my sleet idea in the LSV is toast.

You guys are crazy...lol

I can tell you that the mother of my children is with me and less than thrilled with the weather today.

It happens fast in May and June. 

Yep, once things start heating up and you get a 10-14 day dry spell, things start changing in a hurry.
