Poor everyone east of I-81.
-
It's 52 degrees at the Thurmont mesonet site, but 31 at Clarksville. What a temperatures inversion.
-
Additional sites will be: Germantown, Gaithersburg, Chevy Chase, and Laytonsville. While these stations are more compact in size, and therefore able to fit in more urban locations, the limiting factors are: available land partners, cell reception, and open sky for accurate wind measurements and solar charging of batteries.

One of only two Cat 5. NESIS storms. Bonus points if you can name the other one without looking it up.

Some local weather news. Montgomery County, as part of a locally funded initiative, will be purchasing some additional mesonet stations. These tripod/compact stations will focus on urban areas to better understand risk from heavy precipitation events and urban heat islands. The plan is to have a density of 6 to 8 miles per station. Equipment has been purchased, with the goal of deploying them this year. All data will be public on the mesonet website once the stations come online. A big day for @wxmeddler

Week of Jan 20th. If we don't have something plausible within 5 days of that, then it's probably game over for even hitting climo snowfall. It's going to be feast or famine during the upcoming favorable window.

JB is a clown. No one should take him seriously anymore.

Agreed. Ji is just being Ji.

Please no

This. We won with this setup in December 2013.

Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs
Eskimo Joe replied to MAG5035's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Who wishes for warm weather in winter? -
Would be happy even with a few solid advisory level events even.
-
It's a La Nina pattern. That shouldn't be a surprise.
-
I'm trying to be optimistic this winter, but it's concerning to see a decent pattern getting can kicked or outright canceled repeatedly. The only thing that's saved us from a dead ratter in the snowfall department are the two minor December events.

That's a KU look 9/10 times.

It's very 12/5/09 vibes.

Appreciate the info. You are correct in that 2006-07 was decent when I was in Lancaster/Philly. 2014-15 was okay down here in Baltimore. 1997-98 and 2018-2019 were hot garbage, IMO.

I don't think any of the analogs that Webber has listed below were particularly good winters in these parts?
-
What did the P.I.S.S. Index look like in the 10-15 days leading up to the Jan 2016 event?

E PA/NJ/DE Winter 2025-26 Obs/Discussion
Eskimo Joe replied to LVblizzard's topic in Philadelphia Region
We're in a truly desperate state in the Mid Atlantic sub forum. It's been a decade since there has been a region wide warning level snowfall, and it's looking rather grim for snowfall chances down our way once again this winter. It's entirely possible that we won't even manage a double digit seasonal snowfall total at any of our climate sites (BWI, DCA, IAD) again this year. I wouldn't read too much into it up in your neck of the woods. You can still very easily score and have had several events this far. -
Acceptable.
-
Oh I know! I'm a Cooperative Observer for NWS (RSTM2). This past December was the first time in years (5+?) that we didn't hit 60°. EDIT: First time since 2017 for my site.
-
No. We have 9 months out of the year to be warm.

I was sleeping great until that.
