Mount Joy Snowman

Models were correct thus far on things weakening as they hit the Susky. Only .05” here. Let us see what round two brings. Manhattans and popcorn are flowing over here while searching for a trashy TV movie. Life is good.

It does feel that way.

The models have consistently shown it weakening pretty good by the time it hits Lancaster. Been a pretty nice day, all in all.

I don’t track but that’s probably about the number I’m at as well.

Low of 44 with .37” of rain. Today is the one decent day of the weekend.

I'm nearly identical, with .4" and 1.48". #precision

.4" of rain and a low of 51. Temp may not budge today. A miserable day on tap, but it's still Friday!

Have had a few bouts of scattered light rain or drizzle over here but you'd never know it if you weren't sitting right next to a window ha. Hasn't amounted to anything measurable yet.

.01” from last evening’s meager showers and then a boomer came through right before I left the house this morning that looked to drop ~1/8th of an inch. Low of 65. Almost time to depart the train here in Harrisburg. Onward.

58 when I left the house with .01" of rain overnight. Thick fog with visibility <1/8 mile in most spots.

Happy belated birthday Blizz! My son turns 4 today as well.

Low of 58 and currently 59/58 with a thick warm air advection fog. Two-day rain total of .95". That, and the ideal growing temps ahead, will have the mowers humming this week.

Low of 49 with a little over .8” in the gauge. Currently 52/51 with light rain. Had to turn a little light heat on last night. Grass should be soaring this week.

Low of 51 here. No rain yet. Had our first fire pit of the season last night. ‘Twas perfect.

One thing that seems consistent across almost all the modeling is that western parts of the region have the best chances for big totals.

Low of 57. Stunning day on tap with a mow in the cards.

Low of 55. Great day to mow tomorrow and throw down some seed before the rainy pattern settles in.

My total rainfall for April was 5.69", but only .16" over the last two weeks. YTD now stands at a robust 18.94". MDT checks in at 4.41 for the month and 16.55 YTD. National high of 106 at Rio Grande Village, TX and low of 11 near Stanley, ID.

Drinking too much Molson again?

Forgot to add, I got .06" of rain last night. MDT ends the month at 55.4, good for T-14th all-time.

58/58 when I left the house. Hit 55 through the rurals. Some sparse valley fog but only in the lowest of low spots. Stunning morning.

Well, I would agree with you (and them) that MU is more of the official record keeper for Lancaster; it's just that the NWS is only going to cite their official sites for record keeping, I would imagine. For one, LNS has only been recording observations since like 1999, whereas MU I believe goes back to something like 1914?? LNS also doesn't keep any snowfall data, which is reason enough to scorn them haha. Heck, the Filtration plant near downtown Lancaster would probably serve as a better site as well. At least they have records going back to the mid 70s and track snowfall to some degree. In any case, MU would clearly have the most extensive climate record, along with the most attention to detail and record keeping. They deserve the title ha.

Yes, that was exactly the point I was trying to make. Thanks for clearing up.

Saw that! MDT topped out at 89. Like I said, not even close Low of 60 at my place. Feels like a hot one. That was Millersville University, not LNS.

I am generally of the same mind but today is the day I caved ha.
