Mount Joy Snowman

Absolute horseshit of a call at the end of that game. I had no horse in the race but hate to see a great game end in that fashion. Felt very unsatisfying.

Yeah that's why I was saying about taking stock after next week, figured we'd be in better position to evaluate if we can make a run at any monthly records again. The only two February's to ever average over 40 degrees at MDT were in 2017 and 1998, with 1976 and 1954 not far behind. Hey, at least there has been something to track this winter, as sad as it may be haha. Hard to believe it was just 2015 when we had by far our coldest February on record. Good observation on the potential northern extent of the severe next week. Have a great weekend everyone. Three day weekend has arrived whew. I'm about to go make a big batch of orange crushes and margaritas for some friends coming over tonight. Cheers!

The 'ol midnight high is really gonna do a number on us today. For the month, we're already up to 2.5 AN through yesterday. It will be interesting to see where we're at come the end of next week. Outside of the southern Apps event this weekend, none of the global models show a lick of snow through the duration of their runs for the entirety of the MA. This was a winter for the west, simple as that. Onward.

Voyager, you really have stolen winter from us this year, you turkey you.

Soft record. Only fitting she went down in this "winter".

Tell him to stop stealing my thunder! I swear my synopsis is coming, once I'm not completely overrun by kids and work. Let's just say my study has more granular detail so it will still hold some value.

Damn, they really were. He still chimes in on the weather side occasionally, but very rarely.

I wondered the same and have likewise been impressed with his prognostication. With that said, I still miss Horst.

And the Canadian, Ukie, and Euro aren't any better. We are left searching for glimmers of hope in this forgettable winter and yet.......nothing.

Hit 21 on the car thermo through the low-lying rural spots.

It really does. Warm and dry will likely be the norm more than not. You don't need to be a Met professor to know that formula doesn't exactly lend itself to snow ha.

No precip of any type reached the ground here.

I was following the Mt. Washington stuff last night, just fascinating. I’ve always loved the Observatory’s website. Man what an extreme place and what a record to smash. Wow.

All this talk of Mt. Washington, such a fascinating place. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the observatory up there manned year-round to take weather observations? Man, wouldn't it be something to be up there in the winter; talk about a feeling of isolation.

12z gfs and nam both backdoor the 850 -22 line solidly into lancaster county. Now, if we can just get the winds to slacken a bit and the skies to fully clear we could be onto something. I won't even think to ask for some fresh snow cover, as I know that's a bridge too far ha.

Rockin the Odyssey are ya!?

I saw PHL officially recorded .3" of snow, thus ending their streak of consecutive days without measurable snow at 325.

Well, it looks like my prediction from last week of MDT ending as the third warmest January on record was correct, just barely. But, my prediction of us getting measurable snowfall last night was not. Radar looked half decent through the night but it just wasn't materializing on the ground. Absolutely nothing at my house. Surprised to hear Nut got some out towards the northeastern part of the county. Well, things look to be a bit boring for a while. Should give me time to present my MU snowfall study that I've been promising for weeks but haven't yet delivered on haha.

I concur. The 18z HRRR likes my .1" estimate for the LSV, so there's always that ha.

Mrs. Snowman (that's a nod to @Itstrainingtime tehe) reports steady light snow on the home front. Radar looks half decent. Might be able to get .1" in the books before we even get to the overnight "potential". Hey, at least it looks like winter ha.

Can confirm we had some brief snow showers roll through Harrisburg over lunch. That's all I got. Carry on.

My wife reported white stuff falling from the sky as she dropped the boy off at preschool around 9am. I can neither confirm nor deny as I sit here in our capital city. Still think we might be in for a surprise measurable event tomorrow morning. Again, on the order of a couple tenths, but still....

It will get ya every time ha. And yes I saw that HRRR depiction and I actually think we'll wake up to a measurable event Wednesday morning. Thinking somewhere in the .1-.3 range. Just a strong hunch I have.

I was studying that myself. I still think we come in third place, as I mentioned last week, but gonna be close.

Crikey, a national low of -59 at Peter Sinks, UT! When paired with the high of 90 at Pharr, TX that makes for a Lower 48 diurnal range of 149 degrees. Wowsers. I'm feeling less than enamored with the snow outlook. I need someone to find me some digital white..... @Blizzard of 93 @paweather @Bubbler86 anyone??
