Mount Joy Snowman

Snow is beautiful. March in PA is crazy. We are like 4 degrees above average with mean temperature this March. Try to roll with the punches and enjoy it.

Temp has dropped to 45 here.

Current temp of 50 is the low and .52” of rain.

Low of 46 with .37” of rain. Off to Strasburg with the kids. Have a great one!

Low of 32. A little rain tonight and then a beautiful weekend. Onward.

Looks like it'll be late evening that it moves into NYC.

Low of 32 but I was lower prior to midnight. I think 30 was the true overnight low. Shaping up to be a beautiful weekend.

This is incredible stuff JNS, just outstanding. I’ve known about the MDT/CXY seasonal and diurnal temperature differences you outlined but never laid it out so eloquently and obviously didn’t have the data to back it up. The other data you put meaning to is fascinating as well. Excellent work all the way around. I did want to mention that we’ve had several discussions over the years about the Harrisburg climate site changing locations but no one has ever done a deep dive on the data as you have here. Tremendous work and extremely informative. You have a real talent for this. Bravo, good sir.

I know it was discussed a bit how things were stronger east of the river with the frontal passage Monday night but not sure if it was pointed out that LNS saw a peak gust of 66, while I believe the next two strongest were MUI and MDT with readings of 54 and 52.

20 when I left the house and a T of snow last evening.

You are a damn polar bear! A nice little snow shower just rolled through here that dropped the temp to 28, got the treetops moving, and had some heavy flurry action. Fun.

Actual low here last night was 28 and some residual snow and ice melt brings my total tally to 1.7”, which I believe puts me amongst the highest totals in the state for yesterday. Neat.

Obligatory cabin pic this morning from the upper terrain of the Tioga/Potter line.

A lot of coworkers mentioning how surprised they were to find their cars encrusted in sleet and snow thi smorning. I told them I stayed up to watch it haha.

29 when I left the house. 1.63” of total liquid but still waiting for some encrusted sleet/snow to melt off the funnel of the gauge, will report back later. Probably going with .2” of snow/sleet as things were decently covered when I went to bed last night and it was still snowing. Nice little event and today should be a heck of a winter day. Curious to see how far east some squalls can make it later today. March, always a trip.

Temp down to 33 with borderline heavy snow but the fun appears to be over soon. Still cool to see.

Had a period of steady sleet with a temp of 37 and now it appears I’m transitioning to snow as the temp has dropped to 35. Glorious. I need to go to bed but…..snow.

Well this is a first for me, someone on mPing has reported a mudslide down near the border just west of Shrewsbury. Also looks like snow has already moved into Cumberland Co.

The front is moving through here with some pretty impressive gusts. Nothing too crazy but we did briefly lose power. Temp plummeting as expected.

Haha I thought the opposite. I didn’t think you were THAT far behind me but there were times throughout the day when i was getting trained pretty good and it looked like you were just missing out on it. I don’t love the way that last sentence reads haha.

That gust front is moving its way across the mid state. Would love any reports from those to my west about how the winds are when it comes through. That’s the feature that’s always had my eye for this event.

Wow that’s crazy. I am way over an inch here.

Is anyone staying up to see the changeover to snow? I have to be up very early so doubt I make it but wouldn’t mind getting some reports from those that do.

I only received .02" that day but have in my notes that there were heavy storms all around that just missed, with four tornados confirmed in central PA.

Round one in the books here, quite garden variety but I was positioned well with the orientation of the line to squeeze what looks to be about a half inch out of it. No signs of sun out this way today.
