Mount Joy Snowman

Low of 51 here. No rain yet. Had our first fire pit of the season last night. ‘Twas perfect.

One thing that seems consistent across almost all the modeling is that western parts of the region have the best chances for big totals.

Low of 57. Stunning day on tap with a mow in the cards.

Low of 55. Great day to mow tomorrow and throw down some seed before the rainy pattern settles in.

My total rainfall for April was 5.69", but only .16" over the last two weeks. YTD now stands at a robust 18.94". MDT checks in at 4.41 for the month and 16.55 YTD. National high of 106 at Rio Grande Village, TX and low of 11 near Stanley, ID.

Drinking too much Molson again?

Forgot to add, I got .06" of rain last night. MDT ends the month at 55.4, good for T-14th all-time.

58/58 when I left the house. Hit 55 through the rurals. Some sparse valley fog but only in the lowest of low spots. Stunning morning.

Well, I would agree with you (and them) that MU is more of the official record keeper for Lancaster; it's just that the NWS is only going to cite their official sites for record keeping, I would imagine. For one, LNS has only been recording observations since like 1999, whereas MU I believe goes back to something like 1914?? LNS also doesn't keep any snowfall data, which is reason enough to scorn them haha. Heck, the Filtration plant near downtown Lancaster would probably serve as a better site as well. At least they have records going back to the mid 70s and track snowfall to some degree. In any case, MU would clearly have the most extensive climate record, along with the most attention to detail and record keeping. They deserve the title ha.

Yes, that was exactly the point I was trying to make. Thanks for clearing up.

Saw that! MDT topped out at 89. Like I said, not even close Low of 60 at my place. Feels like a hot one. That was Millersville University, not LNS.

I am generally of the same mind but today is the day I caved ha.

Yes I'm well aware of your 11am-80 rule and I love it! Correct, first day of AC is today. Windows and circulating fan did the trick up until this point. Yesterday was the first day that was a little rough but we weren't home most of the day so that helped. If there was a statistic for combined mowing days and days where the AC unit is running, you'd have to be one of the top guns in the Commonwealth haha.

Same here with the 59. Today is the day my AC comes out of its cocoon. I don't think we get all that close to the records of 90/92 for today/tomorrow but I've been wrong before.

Low of 51 and .02” of rain. Gorgeous day on tap before the near-record heat arrives tomorrow.
