Mount Joy Snowman

Wife and I were driving around Etown area and they did noticeably better than us. I had nothing approaching .3”.

Wrapping up here, temp peaked at 41 right before the line then dropped to 31 as it passed. As expected, surface temps made for difficult accumulation down this way, just a dusting to a tenth. Winds are something though. Still an impressive little event for down around these parts.

Yep accurate. I actually believe parts of Lebanon into Berks may be even a bit deeper into the radar hole, if you will ha.

Low level lapse rates are off the charts. Bring it on.

It may be weakening a bit but remember don’t base that off radar, which can’t see the low squall clouds in our area. You have to use visible satellite which still looks strong. Incoming!

Yeah roads won’t take on anything but I could see a quick tenth or two on the deck and mulch and whatnot.

She’s a ‘beaut…. edit: sorry for the double image.

Frame it....

Yes sir! Just gave a heads up to some friends up near Port Matilda. Again, fun little day on tap.

You know you're dealing with a real deal cold front when the temp consistently drops during the peak heating period of a sunny mid February day.

Brave man JNS, brave man. But I'm sure the dog loved it haha.

Yeah that's the Amishman's farm right behind us; his dogs sometimes like to make the long trek around the fence to visit the neighborhood ha.

Seat cushion .......and yes, don't mean to mock those who sustained real damage.

Irreparable damage sustained here.

Yep, bet we see the always-elusive snow squall warning from CTP tomorrow tehe.

This is what I was getting at yesterday. In fact, some of the hi-res models have even improved in that they almost want to reinvigorate the squall line as it heads down towards the SE part of the state, something we don't see too often. Could be a fun little day tomorrow.

Well, that was fun. Got woken up around 4am with what sounded like my house being torn down and haven't slept a wink since. Looks like my temp peaked here at 62 sometime between 4-4:30 right before the frontal passage. Down to 40 now. I only got a total of .29" rain though. Hey, question for the board. Sometime a little before 4:30 I checked the radar and there was an mPing report just to my west (looked fairly close to @Itstrainingtime) for pea sized hail. Is this accurate or was it possibly some sleet mixing down? The wind was too loud and the precip too brief for me to tell what the heck was hitting the house from the comfort of my sheets. Can anybody confirm any unusual precip types or was this person just mistaken?

Saw that, otherwise the record max min of 50 from 1891 may have been attainable.

I'm currently sitting at 65. MDT's high for the day is 63 but they've since dropped back down to 61. The record is 67 from 2011.

Fantasy. Take it to bed.

It looks like we have a solid chance of it staying intact over the mountains. The globals are having trouble seeing that aspect but that's to be expected to some extent, whereas some of the higher resolution models at range are hinting at it. Let's call it a coin flip at this point but I'd take that. Looks like an almost-certainty for folks north and west of the I80/I99 corridor.

Some pretty good indicators at this point that a potent squall line may make its way through the state on Saturday. Heads up for the 'ol I80 pileup!

The story from 0z seems to be plenty of opportunity but a lack of persistent cold air. I'll not be holding my breath. Looks like a windy 24 hour period ahead, not really going to allow for any enjoyment of the mild temps. I hate wind.

Yep, my buddies and I would stay out playing football in the snow until dark set. Once I almost got very severe frostbite on my big toe, was wearing cleats that were too tight and toes got wet in subfreezing temps but kept playing long past the time they went numb. When I got home and took the cleats off my one big toe was blue/purple and couldn't feel a thing; foolishly tried to put hot water on it. Ended up with a trip to the Doc and him telling me I wasn't too far off from losing it. Dumb kid. But hey, we had a game to win.

Low of 23 here, which pales in comparison to the -34 reached at Seagull Lake, MN. 0z suite was a parade of lakes cutters and apps runners. Rain for LSV Thursday has been seriously muted with each successive run; keeps mud season at bay, for now. Onward.
