Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs
Mount Joy Snowman replied to MAG5035's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Aaaaand there it is, I can rest easy now, as snow is officially falling at KMJS with a temp of 33. Night all. -

mPING reports of snow falling in parts of Berks and Lehigh Counties. That area could actually see a couple inches. -

Temp has fallen to 37 here as rainfall has surpassed 1/8". Radar is blossoming as rain picks up in intensity. I'll be damned if I'm going to bed tonight before seeing some flakes fall through the night sky. -

Very light rain has broken out here. I think I see a transition to wet snow sometime between ~8-11pm. Putting the O/U at .3". It may not lay on most surfaces, but it will have no problem laying on the pack -

Yep. Should still be fun to see the battle this evening as wet flakes try to work their way into the rain. Just as warm air aloft always seems to arrive ahead of schedule, I've often found that the rain to snow backend transition tends to happen quicker than shown as well. If you squint at the 12z suite you can see some ever so slight improvements in this regard. I just want to see some white in the sky at night as I sip an old fashioned. At this point that will be a win in my book ha. -

Low of 28. Looks like the lower level warmth will win out with the column too slow to cool to the surface. Perhaps a slushy half inch on the tail end. Then we finally lose our pack this week. MDT and LNS both topped out at 48 yesterday. Onward. -

At 18z the HRRR still isn't on board and the NAMs now keep things mostly all rain. Guess we'll find out tomorrow ha. -

Haha I was actually going to chime in to say the same, that you are probably juuuust outside of the blue dot. -

Yeah it will take some rates for sure but that's what some of the meso's are showing down our way. You are right though, what's being depicted as snowfall on these maps will surely not amount to that much on the ground with the marginal temps in place. Heck, I was scouring through skew-T's earlier and we really would be walking the tight rope through the lower part of the column, with a wet snow and a surface right around freezing. Could be fun though. -

Would likely start as a light rain sometime during the mid afternoon and transition to a steady snow during the evening hours. -

GFS holds steady with a few inches for southern parts of the forum. Slightly less qpf than prior runs. -

RRFS, FV3, and HRW sisters are all on board for a few inches across much of the forum. This is getting interesting. -

NAM comes around in a big way. Not saying this verifies but man would this come as a surprise to many people. -

Low of 23. I decided to check in on MU’s twitter feed since he basically mocked the possibility of anything happening here earlier in the week and sure enough he has been ranting about the models again the last couple of days. He is really going through it this winter. -

Low of 18. My pack has barely shrunk a millimeter this week. Tomorrow should do some work though. -

Current temp of 29 is the low. Looks like yesterday broke (just barely) MDT’s consecutive streak of below normal days. -

Same here, 37 the entire time from Mount Joy to my house. It’s amazing what thick clouds and sturdy winds can do for temperature consistency. -

Some flurries on the walk to the train in Harrisburg. What a gray day. -

I woke up this morning to see NWS had changed my forecast to mostly sunny and was expecting a decent day. It's been completely overcast and the north winds are howling. Just went for a walk around Harrisburg at lunch and it was miserable haha. -

Low of 29 with no signs of measurable precip. Not holding my breath for the late weekend storm but will still be monitoring closely. Would give my left pinky for Blizz’s 0z Euro map to verify. -

Outside of the CMC, the 12z model suite is less than inspiring for the late weekend threat, to put it mildly. -

Sorry to hear that Voyager but man I am so far from being able to relate to this post. The thought of looking out my window in early February and being depressed because my yard is white is so foreign to me I don’t even know where to begin haha. But to each their own. Hang in there pal. -

Low of 19. My snowpack is a solid rock glacier, not sure a couple cloudy days in the mid to upper 30s is going to do much to it. Now, if we get sunny and 40 by the end of the week that will certainly help but still, this thing has staying power. -

Through the first 8 days of the month, MDT is running 12.3 degrees BN. Yahtzee. National high of 90 near Glamis, CA and low of -27 at Watertown, NY. Decent signal here from WPC for the weekend.
