Well, I was trying to figure out a a way to substantiate how much snow had actuall fallen in eastern pennsylvania. I figured that the Paoli, PA Red Arrow train incident in eastern pennsylvania was a good indication that there must have been some relatively decent accumulating snows in eastern pennsylvania on that day, seeing that it was nothing for trains in those days for both passenger and freight trains to plow through 1 to 2 feet of snow. Unfortunately, I could only find one article about it, and I don't believe that its factual at all. In fact, the more I look into the 1928 blizzard the more i'm starting to doubt anyone's written account of it.

That makes sense .I don't necessarily always buy into what Ai provides. I tried to find some more substantiated articles, about the event, in the Harrisburg area but, I couldn't find much. I did read that apparently there's not a lot of historical data from within the affected areas cities. I wouldn't think The Patriot news would be that ridiculously far off, but who knows. I didn't really dig deeply into the credibility of that article, or if it even exists.

I was just looking up some data on late season events and I found this one that I don't believe i've heard talked about here. Obviously it's an anomaly and i'm not using it to prove any points here, but nevertheless, who would have thought you could have piled 21" of snow in Harrisburg, only a few days away from May. The April 27-28, 1928, blizzard was a record-shattering late-season storm that dumped up to 21 inches of snow on Harrisburg, PA, and over 35 inches in surrounding mountainous regions. It paralyzed central Pennsylvania, closing businesses, causing widespread power outages, and breaking trees due to the weight of the snow on foliage. Key Facts About the 1928 Event: Impact on Harrisburg: The city was "buried" under a 21-inch snowfall, described by The Patriot as one of the worst storms in history, bringing life to a complete standstill. Regional Impact: The storm hit the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian regions, with Pennsylvania being hardest hit, though mountainous West Virginia saw up to 40 inches. Transportation Chaos: The storm stalled travel, including stranding the "Red Arrow" train for three days near Paoli, PA, with passengers forced to burn seat cushions for heat. Meteorological Significance: The storm was a "bomb cyclone" (rapidly dropping pressure) that hit in late April, making it one of the most devastating, late-season, and rare snow events of the 20th century

I decided to edit my post, after I thought about it ,because I dont feel like I was able to convey my question without seeming like I was challenging your model. I'm helping my son move tomorrow.But when I get a chance, I'll send you a pm.

I think the seesawing is goeing to be anomalously brutal this spring. I foresee a spring with a fair amount of chances, with coastals and cold air nearby. I know that you would love to see the whole month of March covered with snow , and that's okay. I personally just need the storm. The snow can melt before I wake up from resting for all I care. Because of my line of work and other passios I won't root for snow once the growing season has started. That doesn't mean that I won't enjoy it it happens, but there's far too many negative consequences for me to get excited at that point.

Awesome. Thank.you for looking that up. I'm not sure how deep you went, but it sounds like this spring falls pretty short on 1960 analogs. I'm hoping to get back to work in the next ten to fourteen days, so 1960 doesn't sound that attractive anyways.

I'm not saying you don't speak the truth, but I have an unscientific hunch we're in for an anomalous spring.

I'm already getting texts like this from my friends. So I know that something has been made about it on social media. You have to excuse the first two texts there.Everyone likes breaking my balls.

It looks to be a little later than I expected. This is the time period that i've mentioned once or twice.

Isn't it unusual that @Caveman didn't report in today with obs? I believe his area should have got some snow.Hopefully everything's okay.

I want to start by tanking you , The past two nights wouldn't have been so wonderful without you. You were the reason why I was able to feel such glee and stay warm in these coold ,soaking, wet snows .You are my inspiration, protector, and motivator . Sometimes it almost feel as if we are one. I so often find myself plagued with sorrowing thought of when we'll be able to feel as one again. I remember when I first saw you in the corner, I knew that I had to make you mine, and I believe you felt the same way. The passion we feel when we're together leaves no doubt that I will never let you go and I will always be there when I need you. No one will ever tear your rugged cadora and sympatex embrace from my arms. You are absolutely the best blaze orange snow suit a man could have, and i've never loved anything, or anyone the way I love you.

I figured. Generally when they're that bright I hear them.

It's also going to reslick a lot of surfaces when it comes down.

Absolutely gorgeou out here fellas. Last picture's until next storm. Seeing that this could be the last hurrah. with winter, though I doubt it, I decided to get out for I more walk this morning and get pictures of this absolute paste bomb out here. Hope you all have a great day, Yardstick needs some rest.
