Mount Joy Snowman

All are welcome! Arrive anytime after 1. Hints are that I have a 17601 zip code and live about one mile west of the west hempfield and east hempfield township line. Good luck and safe travels.

Low of 23. Total rainfall was .54”. Have to host a big family gathering today. Lots of work to do this morning. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Wowsers does this gust front mean business. Stuff flying around everywhere.

Low of 43 with about a half inch of rain. Not a morsel of snow to be found.

Virginia Tech?

Haha believe me, I strongly considered not engaging at all. The points you make are exactly correct, and why I made my post. His entire post just felt strange to me.

I mean maaaaybe, perhaps, possibly, mayhaps......but not really. For me personally, no I do not even remotely consider 1 or 2 days in the low 50s in mid-December to be a "torch period". I would also point out that he forecasts for the LSV, not Maine haha, and I assume the people to whom he was responding were also inquiring about the local area, not Canada. I digress.

Thought this was a curious post by MU. Is he implying that one day in the low 50s qualifies as a “torch period”? I know he loves his warm weather but it seemed weirdly defensive to me and wasn’t sure who he was addressing.

Low of 26. Going to enjoy my last day of full snow coverage before the heavy rains hit tonight. Still a beautiful scene out there. Quite a memorable start to December.

Low of 21 but 28 when I left the house. Warm front pushing through it seems.

Not that I've ever seen. Last night was about as close as I've ever seen it get, which is part of the reason I posted it. Maybe one day.

THV hit -1. National low was only -8 at Presque Isle, ME.

10 when I left the house but hit 1 on the car therm through the rurals. Also .2” of daily snowfall.

Oh wow nice. Not nearly that much here but you could see it diminishing quickly on the radar as it worked its way east so not surprising.

A beautiful light snowfall occurring as I sit at 20 degrees. Nothing better than unexpected snow.

Alright, so when do we get the shirtless @sauss06 pics?

Low of 14. Winter, it is here.

I second this haha. We have a couple, how shall I say, “characters” on the board these days. They need to learn how to assimilate.

My 3.3” of snowfall melted down to .28” liquid. Temp has dropped to 25 here. Quite the winter day on tap.

Well, I managed to hit the Over, as 3.3” fell here at KMJS. Beautiful scene out there due to the sticky nature of the snow. Current temp of 27 is the low. I’ll melt down and report back later on qpf. A nice little event for most of us!

We are well under way here at KMJS. Temp 33 and dropping. All surfaces lightly frosted. Feeling good about how things are developing. Good luck to all!

Nothing better than an event that starts with low expectations and then ramps up towards game time. Might have to up my O/U to 3”.

Low of 22. I’m setting the Over/Under at 2” for KMJS tonight. I think I go a smidge over. Looking forward to seeing flakes fly tonight. Cheers to everyone!

Only because I haven't seen it posted yet......

Great post and so true. I would emphasize that the first half or three quarters of the pack goes a LOT quicker than the last part due to heavy compaction resulting from lower density. I've seen countless times where that last 4-6" hangs on way longer than you'd expect due to the extremely dense icy nature of the pack. As you alluded to, sleet mixed in helps greatly but also the pack itself creates its own icy center due to the daily melt and refreeze cycle. I know you know all this; I just love this topic ha.
