Wow...that WAS cool to watch!

No problem! Admittedly my heart was racing like crazy. For a few minutes I thought the life long bucket list dream of witnessing a tornado touch down might materialize.  Also equally worried about my new shingles lol.  The best rotation on radar was further north east of Halifax, I'm not sure if anything touched down up that way.   

I'm not sure if this will play, but this was from Linglestown as the tornado-warned cell was moving across Dauphin County.  

Snowflakes here in Linglestown at the foot of Blue Mountain! 

Ahhhh.. just re-reading the Jan 22-23, 2016 thread to lift my spirits in these trying times.  What a behemoth.  Can not believe that was 4 years ago already.

I drove up to Ski Roundtop today. I would say this is one of the worst years I have seen for the mountain. We go up a good bit and the attendance is way down all relates to lack of snow. For mid Jan I don’t think I have seen it this bad. Picture is form webcam but in person it’s worst. I know next week they should come back to life but in a short season has to hurt. 

I went out there last Tuesday after work in the middle of the storm. The roads were terrible but with the warm up on the way, I wanted to try to get one good night on the mountain with the beauty of snow covered trees.  Went back yesterday to see how much damage the weekend torch did... rough...  i'm counting on another late season resurgence like we've seen in recent years to try to break even on my pass.  hoping this weekend is the catalyst to flip the script.

Silver-dollar dendrites in downtown Harrisburg right now. Oh how I missed thee.

Dewpoint sitting at 70 on my station at the moment... Going to enjoy the remaining pockets of peak foliage here in Linglestown for the next few hours, then embrace the ruckus.  Good luck all!

Since the official start of fall I've been hanging onto my will to live based upon the 300 hr + forecasts showing the cool down.  Have to say, the GFS really nailed the timing of this relief.  Consistently showing the front moving down in the 10/3-10/4 time-frame, vanquishing the hell fire. Mid-range forecasting (temp-wise) has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time.  Really going to appreciate October feeling like October tomorrow through the weekend.  Cheers all!

FV-3 keeps us mostly frozen this time around.
