Mount Joy Snowman

Okay got ya. I worked in the Capitol Complex for 15 years and there's a good bit of UHI in that area.

63 in 2009. MDT hasn't been above 57 yet though. You always seem to run hot. You downtown?

Yeah the Olympic styles (Freestyle and Greco) have had a number of scoring changes in recent years and can be hard to keep up with. Folkstyle, which is the style used in collegiate and scholastic wrestling, hasn't had as many changes and puts more of an emphasis on mat wrestling. And yeah, what Cael has done at Penn State is incredible and likely much more to come. Oh man, nothing beats the old WWF days haha.

No no no, that's rasslin', I'm talkin wrestling You bite your tongue! The oldest and greatest sport. Ask any athlete (like many football players) who wrestled at one point what the hardest sport is and they will all tell you hands down it's wrestling. The true measure of a man. A test of strength and will. No one to blame but yourself. Okay you get it, I'll stop now haha. And hey, Williamsport has one of their best teams ever this year. In fact, the Millionaires (isn't that their mascot?) are wrestling in the state championships in Hershey as we speak!

What is all this pumpkin ball talk!? Post-season wrestling is nearly here! Yes, I know I am likely alone on this island

Dipped to 22 last night. Well, outside of the NAM and the CMC nobody wants to bring us anything even remotely meaningful on Sunday, and even those two are more of a nuisance type event (lord knows we'd still take it). In other words, don't get your hopes up. The WPC sure isn't...... You know it's funny, after this weekend the next couple of weeks look pretty similar to these eyes. Chilly starts to the week followed by warm-ups at the end of the week associated with systems passing through the Ohio Valley and giving us a nice soaking (perhaps some storms?), and then a return to more seasonable temps. All in all ,nothing too crazy but a repetitive look.

Topped out at 54 today.

I'm with you my friend. Don't get me wrong, I obviously want the snow to stick around as long as possible but I'll take any snow I can get whenever I can get it, regardless of how long it hangs on. As you said, big game hunting baby haha.

Wise words.

March certainly is volatile but people always underestimate how often we see measurable snow in the month of the Mars God. The last two years were a bit of an anomaly in that I recorded absolutely nothing in March; however, four of the five years prior to that I recorded substantial snow in March, with three of the four totaling over a foot. Heck, two of my last six Aprils have seen over an inch of snow. Harrisburg has only seen four March's in its history that totaled zero snow (with about another 14 with only Trace) but over 50 where it recorded at least six inches.

Was just going to point this out. NWS has me at a high of 49 today. My low was 29 but I'm up to 48 already and should easily downslope my way into the low to mid 50s.

Well, last night's 0z model suite shows less support for snowfall in our area than the previous night's compilation. Trend is not our friend right now. Need some things to come together within the next 24-36 hours or we will likely be on the outside looking in, yet again.

No 50s for me today, topped out at 49.

How warm did you get on those days right around the New Year?

Saw that haha. Average that out with the GFS and we are in business.

Yeah it caught me a bit off-guard as well. To be honest, I'm not sure what the forecast was calling for but I wasn't expecting to see a reading in the teens.

I bottomed out at 19 last night. A bit of an unusual suspect has been showing up as the national low temp the last couple of days, that being the high-elevation cold sink of Angel Fire, NM.

Well, per 0z the American, the Canadian, and the Brit all give us some form of accumulating snow on Super Bowl Sunday from the interaction of the frontal boundary with the coastal low. Waiting for the EU to come on board but she's not too far off. Developing......

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!

Curious if anyone on the board has had less seasonal snowfall than me so far? I'm at 8.9".

I had a mixture of some very light sleet and drizzle last evening -- let's call it slizzle -- before dropping to 26 last night and waking up to some slick surfaces this morning. Beautiful week ahead.

The culprit is a narrow but quite dry layer around 900mb.

Neither have I and I've lived in Lancaster County my entire life. I'll get there eventually, got to clog a few more arteries.

Don't sell yourself short. I'm only famous for being able to write-in all 67 PA counties on a blank map haha. You know, I heard there was a nice surprise dusting across parts of Lancaster but not so much as a flake here on the western side of the county. Congrats!

Ding ding ding we have a winner! Wow that went faster than I thought it would. Should have known the sleuths on this board would solve it quickly. But yes Shasta indeed, one of the most majestic mountains anywhere for my money. Great job TimB! I'll send you that nickel ASAP
