Final tally:  1.36”

Low of 26 here. Rain gauge is frozen solid. Will have final tally later once it thaws out. More importantly, the Penn State Nittany Lions won their 11th national championship in 13 years in wrestling, and in doing so broke the all-time team scoring record. Straight beasts. The word dynasty gets thrown around sometimes but this truly is one. Cael is the John Wooden of his time. Pure greatness.

GFS has a burst of snow your way shortly after lunch when the rain is ending. 

Did not see anything frozen here and did not expect to. Anyone else? Looks like maybe just shy of a 1.5” here. Official measurement later. Off to a kids birthday party. 

Low of 37 with what looks to be about 3/4” of rain thus far. Currently 38 and fully saturated. Ugly day. 

National low of -14 at Mt. Washington.  As for the rain tonight into tomorrow, they have definitely been inching those higher totals further westward. 

Low of 23 here.  A nice soaker on the way.

Did he look like this?   Nooners 32 and mostly sunny.    Get those brackets in ASAP.

 

 

Yes, get those NCAA wrestling brackets filled out, action starts at noon!  Oh wait, we're talking basketball again, silly me.

Are we getting this much rain? NWS has me only getting 1/4-1/2?

Hard to say.  Could be a sharp east to west cutoff, although that map seems overdone.

 A chilly low of 25 here.  Looks like MDT bottomed out at 28.  Tonight was supposed to be the colder night of the two so we'll see what lies ahead.

Had an overnight low of 41.2 which occurred at 12:37am. Temps rose slowly thereafter, now sitting at a balmy (for 9am on 3/20) 46.1.

Oh wow, I dipped to 36.  It was 41 when I left the house at 6:15 though.

MJS reporting for duty.  As my opening contribution to the spring thread, here is a pic of my buddy's cabin snow-covered this morning, with more on the way.

Low of 36 here, 41 when I left the house. I hear that train a comin’.

Low of 34 this morning in Maytown. Disappointed that we didn't get to freezing. On to tonight. 

Our potted palm tree, which my wife abruptly threw back outside over the weekend, was not disappointed.  Needless to say, I will be dragging the little feller back inside for the back half of this week.

36 was my low. Windy. Still. 

Yeah, it was a miserable walk through the 'Burg this morning. 

Low of 32. Lots of reports of light snow or flurries through York and Adams Counties.

Bahahahaha, oh it wasn't you I was referring to, friend.  It was that other squirrely fella who likes to obsess over all the weather to your north and west.  Never before has Jefferson County gotten so much attention haha.

How much do you think we can shave off the departure by the end of the month? 

Well, I'm comfortable going out seven days through next Sunday and saying that I think we'll knock a good 2-3 degrees off during that timeframe.  In fact, I'll say we're sitting at a monthly mean temp of 46.6 by next Monday morning, which is 2.3 below the current average of 48.9.  After that, it gets a little tricky, as we could see a bit of a warm-up during the last seven days of the month.  Plus, the period just looks generally more unsettled.  But if I must, I'll say that the last seven days adds an additional 1.2 degrees and brings us to a final monthly mean temp of 47.8, which would put us alone in 6th place all-time.  Book it.

There really needs to be either an eyeroll or yawn emoji. 

Low of 34 here.  'Twas a lovely weekend.  Things look mostly dry and chilly for the foreseeable future. 

National high of 91 at Fort Lauderdale and low of -4 at Peter Sinks.  Onward.

Just got mini-mow #1 in.  Only did the heavy areas that sprouted up early. Don’t think I’ll be mowing again for quite some time. 

Low of 37. Should be a rock solid weekend on tap. Also, for those who care about such things, the mean temp for the month now stands at 48.6.  Just sayin’ 

Low of 55 with .02" of rainfall.

We will need a huge volcano eruption to get back to the good times

Well we had one, but instead of blocking out the sun with ash and soot it released record amounts of water vapor into the atmosphere, thereby exacerbating the problem.  Can't catch a break ha. 

Let's take a moment to give a nod to March of 1960 -- the coldest March in Harrisburg history.  With an average temp of only 32.0 (mercy!), it is almost a full degree lower than 2nd and 3rd places, which are from the 1800's ha.

@Bubbler86 @Mount Joy Snowman - any rough idea on how much MDT is above normal for the month to date? 

It seems this has been addressed by the fine work of Bubbs and JNS but to add.......MDT is likely to have a monthly mean temp of ~48.6 by end-of-day tomorrow.  This would represent a +9.5 departure, so no double-digit, but would be good for the warmest March ever to that point.  Now, that is likely to come down in a big way through the back half of the month, but as of now, they don't come much toastier.
