    GFS is running, so soon there will be something new to complain about.

    I would figure it’s difficult to impossible for a lot of posters on these boards (myself included) to set low expectations regarding winter. Even if you understand how the ENSO stuff works, even if you concede that climate change will make our winters progressively less cold and snowy, there’s still a hope that a particular winter will defy the odds, and occasionally they do, and that’s why we stick with this hobby. It’s like a slot machine giving you a small win every once in awhile to keep you coming back.

    Just remember, even 76 at MDT would be an all-time December record. The odds are against it, but the odds were also against what happened in the Pacific Northwest in June.

    Both overnight runs have that same garbage in fantasy land. The hot, humid day is even the same day on both runs.

    Even the famous 18z run the other day with the Arctic blast early next week came on the heels of a 6z run where one of the panels had a 72 imby on the same day. Models seem to be continuing their inevitable recognition of a December pattern we don’t want.

    To be fair, +8 months are statistically somewhat easier to get during the cold season than they are during the warm season. I wouldn’t go as far as to predict a +8 December, but the signs that December will be disappointing are really starting to add up. Nearly every GFS run has 60s imby at some point, and I imagine it’s the same or worse at MDT.

    In Warren at the moment and enjoying some mood flakes with a couple inches on the ground from yesterday and a couple more inches coming tomorrow. No idea back home.

    Looks like that streak ended today (-11).
  9. TimB
    About 20 or so. It’s not terribly uncommon.

    There have only been 4 Marches without even a trace of snow at MDT, and the other 3 all featured measurable snow in Nov. However, it looks like MDT is staring down the barrel of a second consecutive year without measurable snow in March or November (2020 had a trace in both).

    March shutout and Nov shutout in the same year? Wonder if that’s happened before…

    Looking almost certain that we’ve clinched a negative temp departure for November, we’re at -1.4 through 11/22 and should be mostly below normal the rest of the month. 4th time in the past 5 Novembers that has happened. Also, today marks 5 months since the last day that we officially had a double digit negative daily temp departure.

    Agreed, nearly every run has some degree of warmth in PA at some point during that period. Not ready to throw in the towel on winter before it even starts, but it seems it’ll be an uphill battle to get a good or even average season.

    Lot of time to work out the details. 18z 12/7 temp for me went from 21 on the 0z run to 69 on the 6z run.

    Wait, Feb 2021 wasn’t BN at MDT?

    On mobile it’s the pulldown on this thing after the first post of each page:

    From someone who experienced the warm front yesterday, we went from a low of 33 to being in the mid-60s at 11am.
  18. TimB
    60s and 70s have no appeal for me unless the normal high is in the 80s.
  19. TimB
    That’s a date with fairly soft records in PA (66 at PIT, 67 at MDT). Most of the surrounding days have hit 70.
  20. TimB
    That’s the extreme, but that day has been hot on several GFS runs now.

    What, yinz don’t want this? (Clown map warning)

    Their last win against Pittsburgh at any venue is the famous Jerome Bettis OT coin toss game in the late 90s.
  23. TimB
    Also a Steelers tie, blowing a 17 point lead to Atlanta in 2002.
  24. TimB
    Wasn’t Donovan McNabb guilty of such ignorance of the rules at one point?
  25. TimB
    Looks like PIT was able to sneak in its first measurable snowfall yesterday (0.3”).
