For me personally, Airplane was absolutely the funniest movie I've ever seen.  I've never laughed as hard or as loud through an entire film. A genuine LOL.  I still crack up 40 years later when watching it again.  Leslie Nielsen was one of the best..."...I just want you to know....good luck...we're all counting on you!"...X 3.  Others included the "roger...over routine"...or...Peter Graves..."Jimmy, have you ever seen a cockpit?"  I could go on but I won't.  It's been a few years...I'll have to go find it again. Alas, quite a few actors from that film are gone now.

32 blown saves now for the Phillies.. 2 off the Rockies '04 record of 34 in a season... 17 games to go.. we got this!

Fascinating storm from it's evolution in the Gulf all the way through tonight..  Some amazing statistical anomalies to sort through in the days ahead.  Tomer Burg on Twitter has been posting some of the insane numbers from NJ tonight. 7-8" in 3 hours..  That level of flash-flooding at night in a heavily populated corridor doesn't bode well.

Apparently the huge tornado in Jersey might have been an EF4. I was reading that it might be the most powerful tornado to ever spawn from a tropical cyclone ever. Also would be NJ's most powerful tornado ever

 

Some of the houses are chopped in half and missing

 

Still heavy rain in Marysville…
What a historic day. It will be interesting to see where this ends up ranking at MDT.

MDT is at 5.12” as of 5 pm. Won’t add much more it appears (at least I don’t think it’ll add .5”) so it’ll be the 5th rainiest September day it seems. 

Holy hell Euro....  Indeed, feeling like the heart of winter tracking with substantial model divergence inside of 48 hours.

Have fun! We are seeing Jason Isbell. 

No doubt. Nary a drop for me today yet but immediately east it’s pouring. 

HRRR was on the money w/ that line. Yowza.

We’re getting shellacked in Linglestown.. power went out 20 minutes ago, 1 AM estimate from PPL for restoration… a lot of trees down too.. stay safe!


.

Well.... 4 years ago at this time Capital City airport was sitting at 80 degrees, and 3 years ago they hit 83 on Feb 21st... talk about snowpack killer... felt terrible for Ski Roundtop... and yet, both years there was sweet redemption on the mountain in March.   Lets do it again!

Beautiful scene in Linglestown this morn.. man, this hobby is a constant reminder of how expectations determine perception of events.. yesterday at this time, I was staring to 2.5 inches of fresh snowfall and feeling a bit disappointed.. this morning I go out and measure 2.5 inches of additional snowfall overnight and I’m giddy... my irrational snow-weenie mind on full display the last 24 hours.

This band doing anything for anyone? Looks a little mean

No I agree. I think the trends today were encouraging. 

Amen.. 12z has kept us in the game.

Harrisburg -MDT- recorded a 2 day storm total of 12.5 inches of snow. 4.6 was recorded on Sunday and 7.9 yesterday as of Midnight.

Maybe we can still add on a little more today?

For as feast or famine as its felt around here in recent years, this is now the 5th double-digit snowfall for MDT in the last 5 years.

Not to mention the surprise pre-Thanksgiving storm in 2018 where MDT picked up 9" and we had over 10" here a little further north of Harrisburg prior to sleet onset.   Crazy times.

Back to heavy snow in Linglestown, now with wind gusts mixing in..over the 10 inch mark in depth now.

Para keeps the nuclear option on the table.

Is the PARA replacing the current GFS? 

Yea, the last I read, it was set to become the operational version in early Feb.

12z GFS-para is a huge hit for most everyone just to add to the chaos..

Well.. happy hour GFS definitely on board with the capture & stall/prolonged event idea.


.

I can't remember the winds ramping up this early in previous major storms, ie grass still showing and its coming down sideways.

71 degrees just north of Harrisburg right now. Best it’s felt in the late afternoon here in quite some time!

That is bizarre.  Must be due to those tropical bathwaters of Lake Superior and Hudson Bay.
