    Yes I’ve dove into this topic a couple of times over the years. Low spot along a ridge line in a rural area. Have also speculated about what looks to be a quarry or large barren rocky area right next to the airport. At least in the past when I checked on satellite view it showed up prominently. Lack of vegetation is a major component to areas the go anomalously low during inversion nights.

    I wait in my car until a couple minutes before it arrives. You can use the app to track. It was running 15 mins late today. Train cars are nice and heated though. Just passed by MDT. The river is more solidly frozen than I’ve seen it in many years.

    Zero at my house when I left, will likely go negative. Car thermo hit -11 through low rurals, showing -8 right now at the Mount Joy train station. Wild.

    Have not seen a single flake here.

    Horst doesn't tweet much anymore but he just said in his 40+ years in the weather business this is the first time he has seen a blizzard warning on the Gulf Coast.

    No, other than to confirm what you're saying. Millersville seems to be the unofficial official gatekeeper of Lancaster weather records.

    What a scene at Laurel Ridge State Park......

    Low of 4 here. Looks like the lowest temp on CTP's PNS was -20 near Lopez in Sullivan County. Smethport hit -19. This snowpack isn't going anywhere.

    Wow!!
  10. Mount Joy Snowman
    Deal! Normally yes but this week I don’t come in until Wednesday. We should barely lose any pack the next few days.

    Thought you all might get a kick…..

    My 6.8” of snow melted down to .51” liquid, for a ratio of 13.3:1. We had a couple hours up front where nothing was accumulating, so the actual snow that did accumulate was a good bit higher ratio. Had the kids out sledding and shoveling, now have a fire going outside. Nothing better than fire and snow. Great day in the sun. Cheers to American Weather!

    Low of 12. Will have qpf from my 6.8” of snow a little later. What a splendid scene out there.

    Whiskey Gingers flowing over here. Congrats to the Eagles and Bills. Intense games all the way around. Almost wondering if I didn’t under measure. Looks like more than 7” out there. What a fun storm! Down to 16 already.
  15. Mount Joy Snowman
    Final measurement of 6.8” here in West Hempfield Township. Awesome fast-moving storm today! Have I mentioned I love this winter.

    4pm Obs: 3.8”, 3.3” of which came in the last two hours. Heavy snow and temp of 26. Glorious.
  17. Mount Joy Snowman
    Total whiteout here.
  18. Mount Joy Snowman
    It is ripping here!

    2pm Obs: .5” as skies are darkening, temp has dropped to 30, and rates are ramping up. Roads starting to cave and a juiced radar to the southwest. Let’s get it!
  20. Mount Joy Snowman
    I think it will start to stick once the temp drop accompanies those higher rates this afternoon. That radar hole opening up over us is less than promising haha. But honestly, the big stuff should be through the mid to late afternoon hours.
  21. Mount Joy Snowman
    Yes I’ve heard others state this as well, just not sure what the scientific reason for that would be. Haven’t seen any studies about that claim either but am open to them if they are out there. A topic for another time ha. Today we’ve got a snowstorm to track!
  22. Mount Joy Snowman
    I think you’re confusing air temperatures with sun angle and intensity. Green house effect is one thing but the question was about whether solar effects are greater today and I’m not sure how that would be possible. Snow update, things are finally sticking here pretty consistently. Will be curious to see how much qpf we lost on the front end but the next five or so hours should be the big show.
  23. Mount Joy Snowman
    Finally getting some stickage on certain elevated surfaces and grass tips, as snow intensifies and temp has dropped to 33.
  24. Mount Joy Snowman
    The kids just alerted me to the fact that scattered snowflakes are indeed falling from the sky. Here we go.

    Good morning, all. Sitting at 33/32 here and got .01” of rain yesterday. 1/3 of my backyard still has snow. I’ve felt Lancaster is the place to be all along so let’s see how it plays out. Time to have ourselves a snow day!
