    Wow sorry to hear that. Must have been a pretty large hail core, as my buddy on the east end of Mt. Joy sent me a video of intense hail out his way as well.
  2. Mount Joy Snowman
    Yep, and I have to go to a wedding at a place that doesn't have AC. Lovely.

    Damn right I did, but still pales in comparison to the 1-2 inches received in some localized areas just north of Mount Joy Borough. Bizarre indeed. I mean, we all know MDT is a known hot-spot but still.....

    A low of 59 and .28" from the storms yesterday. A week ago we were running 5.4 degrees above average for the month; today we sit 2.8 above. I'm thinking we'll finish somewhere around 3ish above, which should slide us into a top ten type August. Carry on.

    Yep, buddy in Mount Joy has confirmed heavy hail. I am in Rohrerstown today and nothing here yet.

    A low of 59 here. Couple of nice days on tap before things turn a bit sticky again.

    A low of 62 and .17" of rain yesterday. National high of 117 at Death Valley and low of 25 near Choteau, MT. Onward.

    Yeah I think it was just Sterling radar, State College radar estimates seem to be much more in line with reality on this particular event.

    I don't live in Mount Joy, just have a Mount Joy address. I am actually south of Pinkerton Road, well into the more yellow hues on that map. I have that site you like saved as well. It's usually fairly accurate but every now and then can be quite overdone. I think the Sterling radar got a bit wonky with that band it displayed through Lancaster. It never rained that hard here, relative to what it was showing. Got to love the things we waste time on around here haha, but I love it!

    It appears there were definitely some issues with radar with this event because I clicked my exact location on the radar estimate map and it has me at .7", whereas I got less than .2".
  11. Mount Joy Snowman
    Right. What I'm saying is I checked all the WU stations between Strasburg and Lancaster and all of them were around that .3" mark. Remarkably consistent. Baring some on the ground verification, it seems there may have been a glitch in the radar and associated estimates.
  12. Mount Joy Snowman
    Same here, pleasantly surprised. I was looking at some on-the-ground reports from that area of highest radar estimates and couldn't find anything more than like the .3-.5" range.

    It’s the most annoying thing about this site. As to your thermo, I have long wondered if it’s getting too much direct sun exposure. Just seems to be odd to consistently be at least a few degrees higher than anyone else, even as you are farther north, more rural, and similar elevation. I say that knowing you have your own little microclimate going on so not ruling anything out, but it’s all too common for some stations to just read a little high when in the sun.

    Impressive little storm complex moved through overnight and dumped .6", woke me from my slumber. Heading out on the boat tomorrow, gonna be a glorious weekend.
  15. Mount Joy Snowman
    I was saying how whatever storm activity did develop would be more likely to be focused across the extreme southern tier and arrive during the late evening or overnight.
  16. Mount Joy Snowman
    Very true. Although I do feel like I kind of watched that show more for little nuggets, tidbits, fun facts, and whatnot.......more so than straight forecasts. But your point is well taken.
  17. Mount Joy Snowman
    Yeah I used to be a pretty regular viewer, not so much anymore. Then again, it's hard to be a regular anything these days with two young kids ha.

    MDT saw a +10.3 avg. temp departure yesterday, now running a robust +5.3 for the month. That looks to level out a good bit in the coming weeks but August still very likely to end solidly on the warm side. YTD MDT is +.8 degree departure. As for rain, .51" for MDT yesterday and they are almost spot-on avg. for the year. National high of 114 at Death Valley and low of 31 at Peter Sinks, UT and Choteau, MT.
  19. Mount Joy Snowman
    I matched ya with .13". Low of 72. Looks like another decent chance for storms today, albeit later in the evening and likely focused towards the southern parts of the valley. Thursday looks like a nice transition day, setting up an absolutely perfect weekend of weather. Get it in fellas.
  20. Mount Joy Snowman
    I second the motion. Looks like I'll top out at 94 here, as temps now plummeting with storms skimming the area.
  21. Mount Joy Snowman
    I second this. Much respect Sauss.
  22. Mount Joy Snowman
    A steamy low of 75 here. More folks should see some storm action today I reckon. The weekend of perfection draws nearer.
  23. Mount Joy Snowman
    High of 94. A couple more days of this nonsense and then some relief.
  24. Mount Joy Snowman
    Higher terrain in those areas. Higher than many people realize, and yes much more rural as you alluded to.
  25. Mount Joy Snowman
    Low of 73. Today and tomorrow just look straight nasty. Hopefully we can catch a storm tomorrow to ease the pain. Relief on the way for the weekend.
