Mount Joy Snowman

I topped out at 23 today. Currently at 15 with a DP of 3. Interesting days ahead it would seem.

Looks like the big winner on The Tug was 30" near Osceola.

I dropped to 14, not aware of any such snow shower here. I stayed up for the national championship game and didn't notice anything, and certainly no evidence of anything this morning. Good for you for "cashing in" haha. Looks to be a lot of cold air around in the weeks to come. Now we've just got to thread the needle with the storms, but I'll take the cold air in place and let the chips fall where they may.

A thing of beauty….

Yeah I think they have a legit shot against Tampa, not great but legit. The Bucs are a bit of a mess right now and I don't believe are the same team as last year. I would however note that since losing to the Giants the Eagles have beaten the Jets, Giants, and Redskins twice. Soooooo, kind of hard to know what to make of that haha. But they are certainly a live dog this weekend!

This is likely accurate, reality check incoming haha. But that's why they play the games!

Yep, something to be said about that level of consistency. Big Ben never presided over a season with a losing record, and he has a career 13-9 postseason record. This Packers fan can respect that. I think they are in for a beating at KC next weekend but there's nothing I would love more than to see one last bit of magic.

How about it!? I honestly couldn't believe some of what I was witnessing yesterday. What a day, and how the heck are both the Eagles and the Steelers in the playoffs?? Both teams loving that new 7th playoff spot haha.

Yeah it appears we were scoured out quickly around these parts.

A decent batch of precip has been rolling through here and it’s primarily just plain rain. The ever so slightest ice accretions on certain surfaces but not much to speak of. Temp up to 33. Was expecting low level cold to hang on a bit more, should be in the clear down this way.

Temp already at 32 here this morning, was not expecting that. I assume we’ll drop back down a bit if some precip moves through but all in all not seeing many big issues down this way.

I topped out at 28 today. Shaded areas still have a nice full pack.

Haha yes my thoughts exactly! Perhaps I’ll send them a strongly worded tweet

I’m not sure that’s a damn good question and was really what caught my attention. Seems like they should be on, no??

Oh nice thank you for that. I was just going off the roundup of the ASOS/AWOS sites that is released twice a day (see below). I wonder why AFJ isn’t included in that? Is AFJ a notorious cold spot? Relative low elevation spot?

I see the notorious radiational cooling spots of THV and SEG both dropped to 4 last night, much colder than any other official stations in the state.

Bottomed out at 12 here.

And that’s all that matters friend.

Well played lad. Hendricks is the only gin I can drink, on the rare occasion I actually drink gin ha. I’ve got the Manhattans flowing over here tonight.

Already down to 19 here. With mostly clear skies and a fresh snowpack all we need are these winds to die down and who knows how low we can go.

Finally got around to getting my qpf measurement. 4.3” snow melted down to .33” liquid for a 13:1 ratio, about what we all expected.

Haha c'mon man. I don't know about all that stuff, but I do know I was at a work conference a few years back and he was giving a presentation on historical storms. Maybe 50-100 people and afterwards everyone was raving about him. Extremely knowledgeable and had an infectious goofiness about him, really had the room wrapped around his finger. People are complicated and I hesitate to pigeon-hole them. Again, I don't know much about his other dealings but I do know that on that day plenty of people took him seriously.

I disagree. Yes he's clown-ish, but the guy understands large scale patterns as well as anyone out there and his knowledge of historical storms is unmatched. Now, does he come from a place of bias and operate with an agenda at times? Of course, but so do most out there. The difference is JB is open about his. Perhaps too open haha. But I'll take someone like that any day over someone who attempts to appear impartial while harboring deep bias. Just my opinion, and to be clear I have no great affinity for the guy.

Couldn't agree more. I make this same point to people all the time. "What!? We only got .2" of rain when they were forecasting .4"!?", said no one ever.

I feel like this was another storm that, for the most part, was modeled pretty well.
