Mount Joy Snowman

Only because I haven't seen it posted yet......

Great post and so true. I would emphasize that the first half or three quarters of the pack goes a LOT quicker than the last part due to heavy compaction resulting from lower density. I've seen countless times where that last 4-6" hangs on way longer than you'd expect due to the extremely dense icy nature of the pack. As you alluded to, sleet mixed in helps greatly but also the pack itself creates its own icy center due to the daily melt and refreeze cycle. I know you know all this; I just love this topic ha.

Yes I know, just interjecting myself into someone else’s conversation haha. Just wanted to reiterate how close the two cabins were. All good. Also, some stray flurries flying here. The kids are excited ha.

Low of 22. Liking the potential for Saturday night. December looking like it could be a tale of two halves.

I know we've hashed this out before, but my buddy's place is a little under 4 miles east of the Tioga/Potter border and a little over 3 miles SSE of Gaines, close to 2,000'.

Sure enough, streamers been going right over that area. Multiple periods of whiteout on my buddy's cam. Awesome stuff.

Well, what was your answer?

Beautiful snow scene pic from my buddy's cabin up near the Tioga/Potter line this morning.

Almost forgot to add, .04" QPF. Carry on.

Temp peaked out at 40 around midnight but is now down to 29. Frigid day on tap.

Yeah it seems it switched to sleet as soon as we got on the train but our entire walk was straight snow, even had some mulch beds caving! It’s the little victories ha.

It's snowing in Harrisburg as I get ready to walk to the train, wasn't expecting that this late in the day. Nice!

So sure enough, as soon as I got on the train in Mount Joy this morning some light mix started falling. Can any of my Lancaster peeps confirm that there was a period of very light wintry precip this morning?

Low of 26 and nothing reaching the ground, despite some light snowfall returns and a nearly saturated atmosphere. Also, yesterday morning my low actually dropped to 10. Have a good one, everyone.

Sure does. Can’t remember many years riding the train when I’ve spotted it this widespread this early.

12 when I left the house, may go lower.

Low of 27. What a dry airmass out there.

Low of 29. Taking the kids to see Santa today up in Elizabeth Farms above Brickerville, never been before. Should be a solid winter day. Then a big game between the Packers and Bears. Go Pack!

Low of 26. Chilly days ahead.

Hearing the same, wow would that be best case scenario!

Yes, next season will likely be rough but that was probably always going to be the case. Question about Tony, are you implying that he is the guy suspected of recording the audio? Because I didn't really hear anything damning about him while listening to it. Pat mentioned about the defense falling apart after he got hurt and the AD guys were kind of razzing him about getting offers from other teams, specifically naming Miami, but I didn't hear much beyond that.

You are probably right that his career is damaged because of the things he said about other schools and people, but I actually came across kind of liking him more haha. Fascinating to listen to, just hashing everything out with real talk. Sounded like totally normal stuff people would say when having what they think is a private conversation. Speaking of which, the bigger issue here is whoever released that (likely a player) committed a serious crime (I believe a felony?). Pennsylvania has very strict two-party consent laws about releasing private conversations. That's despicable behavior by whoever did it and will likely scuttle what was left of whatever chance they had to hire someone decent. I felt almost dirty listening to it, knowing it was meant to be between only the people in that room. A total violation of trust, and again, criminal behavior.

You certainly had the right idea of things falling well short of expectations. Wind and clouds just never cooperated. Low of only 22 here. Looks like 21 at MDT.

Honestly, if Campbell ended up being the consolation prize in all this mess I would be okay with that.

Low of 26. We'll see how quickly the winds and clouds can clear tonight to go record chasing. Looks like some of our chances over the next ten days have diminished quite a bit. Still think we'll see flakes in the air at some point with all that cold hovering around. National high of 89 at Rio Grande Village, TX and low of -21 at Skibo, MN. Carry on.
