More like basic common sense task force -- nobody got even close to 8" !!

Uhh, no

Anybody else notice the 1-day temperature crash with last the storm: Atlantic City 62 to 19, Phila 63 to 25!!!

what kind of work?

Man, if reverse psychology worked on inanimate objects like the atmosphere, I'd be doing it all the time!!

Man, what's you obsession bro?! What a perverse record to want to be part of! but I actually get it -- if you can't be part of something good, might as well go all the way with something bad!!! Lol

expecting or hoping??!!

JAN 1987?

How about latest day with at least an 1" -- Feb 9, 2017!!

Lol! Gotta wait and see I guess. That's a good idea about drones -- I guess it's because they're still an emerging technology, especially as far as data collection goes

what about Friday when we get 12 to 18"?!!

Yup this one of them few storms

In the LV the Snow Nazi says, "No accumulation for you - NEXT!!!"

Yeah I'm not that sophisticated, I figure if the data is good enough for NWS then it's good enough for me. Elevation is 254' vs 390' and distance about 6 miles, and in the 1920s and 30s there wasn't too much urban heat yet so .... What you should really be worried about are Gordon's messed up snow figures, lol!

But to elaborate, as you know, they use downtown Allentown data from 1922 to 1944 (maybe 1938?) then airport data, between which there is really not much difference considering the warmer current normals: see: Geology of Lehigh and Northampton Counties, PA - Historical Works a few years ago I saw them list pre-1922 temp data in a list of record warm months and they told me that it was from Lehigh University (also in the above link), but their means are much warmer than Allentown which is probably why they no longer use them in the combined dataset

Climate (weather.gov)

I mean as models go

I don't know much about models but when I see Euro, I think accurate (?)

Jan. 13th -- 2000 and 1966, so yeah, maybe!

So the lowest high temp. at LVIA this month was 36 on 2 days which is only surpassed in the warmest DEC ever, 2015, when the lowest high was 39, though 2015 was MUCH warmer overall with +13 degree departure (current month about +4). DEC 1923 also had 36 as its lowest max., but that's with 3 days of missing data and having been taken in downtown Allentown instead of at the cooler airport.

thanks for all the info -- when I first saw it, I thought it was from Don Sutherland!

what does this mean? If you lived on the Pocono Plateau?!

Yeah, but elderly people are gonna be in good shape, not breaking their hips on all the ice and snow!!!
