Mount Joy Snowman

Low of 27. Classic March days ahead.

Total qpf here of .48”.

Today is a classic example of how deceiving the record books can be. Everyone who is experiencing today thinks it's a brutal day -- daytime temps stuck in the 30s, overcast, biting winds, rain/sleet/snow, etc........and yet, because it was 60 degrees at midnight it will go in the books as a way above average temperature day ha. This effect is even more pronounced as you head south through the mid-atlantic, as @Itstrainingtime alluded to.

Yeah I made sure to time my trip to Ironville Park atop the hill earlier so that it coincided with a nice band moving through, so that I got the benefit of rates and elevation. Here at my house, just a few scattered flakes or flurries throughout the late morning.

Yeah I thought the max min record of 49 might be broken too but it fell one degree short.

So, I just went to the highest point close to my house (Ironville Park at ~700') and sure enough got to see the transition from sleet to big wet snowflakes. Was snowing pretty good up there when I left, with still some sleet mixing in and obviously not laying, but cool nonetheless. Figured it may be the last time for the season (although also may not be ha) so wanted to find some elevation. Earlier when I took the kids to school there was just some sleet mixing in as I drove over the ridge towards Mountville. Cold air really advecting in well. Since midnight my high was 63 with a low of 38 occurring right now. I'll get a gauge reading on total liquid later when things wrap up. Not much activity around here last evening as most of the good stuff scooted by me but nice to see the discussion on that impressive cell north of Harrisburg yesterday. Onward.

Ah the classics, can't go wrong there. There's a somewhat newer place you might like, took my wife there a few weeks back. It's call Hi-Fi, a swanky little Japanese music bar type place. They are in the back of Issei Noodle on Orange St. and I believe they serve Issei's fare. Anyway, hip little spot. Very expensive cocktail menu, like abnormally so, but worth a peak.

I realized that shortly after I posted but figured you would figure that out pretty quickly ha. So where did you end up going? Side note, I have the kids alone all this week because my wife is in Texas, presumably visiting your relatives haha. But seriously, some work convention in Fort Worth. She has gone the last couple of years and really likes that area.

Low of 55. Wonder when the next time is we’ll see a stretch of weather that beautiful.

Even with these nice days, I would still check ahead to see who has their outdoor space operating this early. With that said, South County Brewing (site of the old Pressroom) should have a nice outdoor area back on the ‘ol Steinman Park patio. Also, don’t think they have any outdoor seating but if you haven’t been Southern Market is a really cool spot.

Low of 37. Amazing couple of days coming up here.

Low of 47 with .01” rain. Mixing is already occurring here as my temp has popped to 60. Beautiful days ahead.

Low of 38 with .03” of rain. Back to Hershey in a bit.

Low of 39. Did much better than I thought here with .77" of rainfall. Off to have some beers with the fellas and head to The Giant Center this afternoon. Happy Friday, all.

Nothing even remotely close to that here. Looking at the radar throughout the day, I figured you guys to my north and west would see much bigger totals.
