Mount Joy Snowman

I agree, F’ing fantastic!

A frosty low of 27 here.

Halt the presses. I misspoke, actual low was 36. Had a touch of sleet mixed in here yesterday.

A low of 38 and .09” precip.

Not really. I have .12” in the gauge this morning and most of that was from overnight activity.

Well I did notice we were missing out on quite a few of the heftier little cells over this way.

Low of 38 here with a 3-day rain total of 1.59”. I think @Itstrainingtime crushed me yet again.

This is true. Many Sox fans have become intolerable, ironic considering most of their history.

Haha toche. My home course! Well, that or Four Seasons.

As have I friend, as have I. Some absolutely brutal cold at that. Great memories.

It’s never too cold to tailgate.

Summary: .59” last Thursday, .06” while in the hospital, .49” yesterday, and a whole lot of sleep deprivation. Thank god I’m off work for a while.

Well boys, welcome baby Lucy to the world, born on April Fools’ Day and sure to be a future meteorologist extraordinaire. Life is good. So blessed. Edit: won’t allow me to attach pic due to size. Ugh.

Round 2 brought me to .59” total. You damn near doubled me up you no-good-yellow-bellied-sap-sucker.

Storms were pretty much a dud here. A couple of flashes of lightning but other than that no real wind and only like .3” in the gauge.

Looks like you found the frontal boundary.

How 'bout it, warm front on the march. Yeah that line projected to come through this evening could pack a punch, even though it may not arrive my way until 8pm or so, but until then just looks like scattered showery type stuff.

High of 49 here yesterday with just a trace of rain. Low of 40 last night but temp has been on the rise since around midnight with the warm air invasion. Up to 59 already. Looks like the main line of storms, to the extent there is one, won't arrive here until late this evening. Lots of thick cloud debris to navigate today that could subdue things a bit as well.

Well, as I expected very little in the way of precip here, <.01" in the cylinder.

Mercy. What a horrible accident. Really really sad.

Well I couldn't agree with you anymore on that haha. But really I just want better radar coverage for our area. It's that simple.

Completely agreed. I believe that article mentioned though that the squall-induced crash on I-81 happened at 10:30am but that the NWS "had made no observations of snow squalls in the area of the crash in I-81 until it sent out warnings at 12:15pm". The implication there seems to be that even CTP didn't have a grasp on that squall line and had not sent out warnings for that area, which if true, is highly problematic.

Low of 23 here overnight. It's still pretty dry near the surface here with a current temp of 31 and dew of 17. Not sure we see much of anything in the way of measurable precip out this way.

Yeah the radar hole, which is at its worst over the Lebanon/Schuylkill County areas and particularly bad for low-topped cloud events, is a real issue that everyone is aware of. You have to rely on visible satellites, highway cams, on-the-ground reports, and the like. Not ideal. Eric Horst was tweeting about this after the event and mentioned the push to get another weather radar somewhere in the vicinity of MDT or MU; not sure if there is really anything to that but it would go a long way towards solving the problem. It frustrates all of us.

High of 41 here today. Dew point currently at 14 with clear skies and the winds have calmed. I should radiate out nicely, at least until the moisture arrives.
