Mount Joy Snowman

My .1" of glacial slop melted down to .04 liquid.

Low of 26 here with .1" of snow/sleet. Looks like a couple of ice storms to contend with on Thu/Sat. The best part of ice storms is getting to view all the wildly overdone pink model maps. What really has my attention is the middle of next week, quite intriguing. Fun tracking times ahead!

Yeah I’m thinking I’ll get to squeeze a .1” out of this. All surfaces covered.

I nice steady mix of sleet and snow here.

I think it’s fair to say we differ politically but this was funny haha.

That would be something. Maybe it’s as simple as they don’t think he can overcome his conditioning and/or injury issues. Seems like a reach. I have no idea but man the whole thing just smells fishy. I bet Silver’s going to poke around a bit to see how this all went down. Bad optics.

I’m not even sure what is left to debate. Phil settled everything when he decreed six more weeks of winter this morning. The only thing more rock solid than a Phil forecast is an MJS monthly mean temp calculation

This perked my ears up…. https://x.com/muweather/status/1886100611571003828?s=46&t=yE0m3aiFgMNKsTcNdUT1uw

I have not looked but assume they were talking about Boiling Springs? Likely wrestling.

Nothing about it makes any sense. If you are Dallas, how the hell do you not make it known Luka is available so you can create a bidding war and get a much bigger haul. Something is way off here.

Low of 15 here. Possible flakes for some of us later on this evening.

We just left Passerine haha. Popped in there after grabbing dinner at Double C. Now we are in East Petersburg at the reopened Josie’s Pub.

My wife and I are downtown right now. Rare night with a babysitter. Where all did ya pop in?

I hear ya pal. I’ve been over the whole flying thing for many years. I just don’t like it anymore, and I used to love it. I only fly when absolutely necessary nowadays. I saw your post from a while back where you expressed similar sentiments. It’s just….a lot.

Low of 33 with .34” of rainfall and a fully decimated snowpack.

Horrible news from the sky ugh. Enough is enough. In more positive news, PSU hammered Iowa in wrestling!

It’s amazing how often those heavy returns just don’t equate to on the ground production in the winter. I was right in the heart of all those pretty colors that went through earlier and only got .15” from it.

I totally agree about some people not wanting to wade through tons of non-weather posts on the weather board, and for that reason I support your efforts. Like I said, I just hope it doesn't devolve into nastiness. I'm cautiously optimistic that with this crew it will not. In other news, I heard some stat the other day, and I could be a little off here so apologies, that Embiid has missed over half the games in his entire career?? Just found that astounding but I guess it shouldn't be all that surprising.

Thanks mate! I will say, if it's just going to be an "Orange Man bad" thread, I'll likely check out. Would just be so exhausting and I can get that so many other places ha. I would actually suggest we keep it to everything other than politics, only because I fear it could turn the board ugly and alter the dynamic of what has been, up until this point, a friendly little community. I would just hate to see our board lose what it has built over nonsense like that. Personally, I have always tried to refrain from talking politics and have only done so when others have initiated, like my comment the other day in the weather thread when I thought some stuff was being said that just went too far. But even then, I have no desire to argue about it on the daily and would prefer to continue seeing everyone as simply the weather weirdos I already do ha. Just one man's opinion. Also, as @Bubbler86 has said, I'm not really keen on the idea of two separate threads but am willing to give it a shot if it's what others want. We shall see. Here's to happy sledding! *hopefully*

This is the truest statement ever uttered on this board haha. FAR too much bureaucracy and red tape for government to do anything close to what people think it can. Now, as for some of these clandestine national security agencies, weeeelllll they get away with a good bit more shady biz ha.

Wait, there's a banter thread?? News to me haha.

20% of my backyard still has a 2" snowpack. Come tomorrow she'll likely be bare.

Haha true but you know what's funny, the last few months MDT has consistently been coming in colder than forecasted. Traditionally, when I do my monthly calculation, I nudge things up a bit to account for the MDT warm bias, but it's been the opposite lately (river ice and other factors?), with the obvious exception of these last few days ha.

I kind of had my doubts about the magnitude of this event because many of the models had been showing things really breaking up over us and being rather sparse. With that said, I still think we end up close to a half inch when it's all said and done, with the better stuff set to move through later this afternoon or this evening. I'll tell you what was really misforecasted (made up word?), and that was the temps for the last couple days of this month. Back when I did my end of month calculation the forecasted NWS temps were MUCH cooler than they've actually turned out to be. The final mean temp for the month is going to end up a few tenths higher than I predicted. I should be fired from my job.

Low of 36 with .05" of rain. Some interesting opportunities in the weeks ahead with a tight boundary. In any case, hopefully (likely?) some drought-busting activity in our future. Penn State - Iowa wrestling tonight in Happy Valley, #1 vs #2, let's go!
