With heavy snow falling the temp has dropped to 32.7, DP 30.5. Grass/Mulch now turning white with around 0.2". Sidewalks/roads still just wet. Intensity is actually getting heavier now with visibility down to under 0.5" miles. Looking great out there! (I'm rooting for everyone, of course. Cash/Bubbler will probably do the best out of this).

Temp down to 33.8 now, DP 30.3. Had a brief lull about 5 minutes ago but now suddenly it's picked up dramatically and is almost heavy. Grass/Mud just starting to show signs of some white. Edit>>Radar has green now over me. Snow getting heavier and is heavy now. Temp 33.4.

Moderate snow now with visibility under 1 mile. Temp really starting to fall now, down to 35.1, DP 30.6. Flake size increasing also.

Steady light snow now with lowering visibilities. Temp 36.7, DP 29. Going to need intensity to pull temps down towards 32.

I love it when I'm inside the blue squiggly. Flurries have just begun and the green is rapidly approaching. Oh boy!

Waiting for the arrival. Will definitely lose a little bit at the start as temp is currently 37. Dew point at 26 ensures a nice and quick drop after onset. Hoping for 2" with anything above that a bonus. Those greens on radar southwest of here are steadily moving northeastward. Should create some nice action once the ball gets rolling.

Merry Christmas to all. Stay healthy!

Was holding out a little hope for something non-liquid with round 2 but alas it began as rain and has transitioned (barely) now to freezing rain with a temp of 31.5 degrees, dew point 29. So far 0.06" liquid from entire event. I suppose if rates really pick up some sleet could mix in but that's all I'm anticipating for around here.

Well, @ItstrainingtimeSorry to say you busted for me. I've ended up with a dusting. Nothing on sidewalks, maybe at best 0.2" on cartops and the grass. Congrats bubbler and cashtown. I thought last night we were headed for 2" for real this time. Any white before January is a bonus for these parts. Like you I just keep my expectations low. We'll see what round 2 decides to do. Temp now 31.1 degrees with 28 degree dew point.

Well, it took 3 hours longer than I originally guessed, but I'm not at all surprised the cold held on this long. Partly that's because the rain stopped over an hour ago (with 0.20" measured) and it's just been freezing drizzle up until right now. At 3:07pm I officially cracked freezing with a temp of 32.2 degrees. Our sidewalks were treated before the event (so someone was paying attention to the likelihood of some freezing rain), so they remained just wet. However all the shrubs and trees have a light glaze of ice with small icicles hanging. >>Congrats, Sauss on your daughter's accomplishment! Seems like serious job opportunities require post-graduate degrees now like a masters or doctorate.

Just before 1:30pm it continues to freezing rain here. Temp is 31.1 degrees, dew point 29. I have recorded 0.17" of rainfall of which some has frozen on different surfaces. Haven't made any attempts to go out and try walking on sidewalks. Prefer to just stay in until temp is safely above 32. I'm a little surprised that CTP has absolutely nothing issued advisory-wise for the ice.

Just before 10:00am it's 29.3 degrees here. Radar looks like steady light freezing rain should be starting over me shortly. I was going to mention this yesterday morning like I do once each winter. The pressure reached 30.71" here yesterday morning. Whenever the barometer reaches or exceeds 30.70" there is usually a freezing rain event that follows that within 24 to 48 hours. Looks like it's going to get "messy" around here for the next few hours. I'm not expecting me to reach 32 until at least noon.

Big fat goose egg for me here in Carlisle. I don't even think I had flurries. For the season I think I'm around 0.3".

Looks like we'll be waking up to white on Wednesday morning. As shown there's almost enough for winter storm warning amounts. I love events that go from rain to snow to accumulations. If it has to start out warm, then temps fall through the 30's and the changeover occurs.

Wow! That's a nice looking surprise. It's funny how many of the previous runs showed Cumberland county...especially central....as a sort of snow-hole. Now it's flipped...haha. Honestly, if I can just get 2" to cover the grass from this event it will be a win for December 2nd. Like others have said I just can't figure out how CTP is playing down the snow potential big-time for the entire LSV. Run after run from different models have painted 2" or more area-wide and yet they just say 'nah'. Guess we'll have to wait until the overnight updates to see if they change their mind. At least they've dropped the temps back from 41 to 37 for the high tomorrow for me last time I checked. Regardless, it's an event to watch and filled with surprises yet to come.

I guess so. Intensity would definitely make a difference. But the models have been consistently painting 1-2" for us by the end of the storm. Most of that should be the Sunday night/Monday event. Yet, State College says virtually no accumulations from part 2 for LSV region. My own feeling is that once we go over to snow early Monday it won't go back to rain and temps will never reach 40 for highs like they currently are forecasting. If the ULL does in fact pass right over us or just south of us that is where the lowest heights are located which should translate into frozen precip and not liquid IMHO.

I'm down to 31.6 now just before 9:30. Was at my sister's in northern NJ and returned home a few hours ago. What I couldn't figure out is how Mt. Holly has them (Morris County) going from a mix over to all snow Monday morning with 2 to 4 inches of accumulation forecast by Monday night. How can they be going from a mix to all snow during Monday while we are forecast to go from a mix over to all rain during Monday with no accumulations? That difference does not make any sense to me.

Actually, I thought yesterday was the perfect fall day.

19.6 for me at 4:36am. I just set up my weather station at noon yesterday at my new residence (apartment) that I moved to 1 week ago. I'm still in Carlisle but in South Middleton Twp now, moved from North Middleton Twp after living there for 8 years. I'm in a brand new apartment complex called Summerbridge. 298 units with solar (9 panels per unit). I've got the best exposure (location of the equipment) for any place I've every lived. Only minor issue is the wind is connected to the temperature so the sensor unit is mounted at 6 feet to get accurate temps, but wind no longer at 10M. Temp accuracy much more important, though. Needless to say there's heavy frost everywhere this morning and there's solid ice in the drainage culverts from the standing puddles of Thursday's rainfall. The manager of the apartment complex let me set up the station, so it will be the "offical" weather station for Summerbridge. For anyone interested here's my Weather Underground link to the station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KPACARLI73 Finally, I received some emails from my weather friends back in NJ this morning. The state climatologist (based at Rutgers in New Brunswick) reported a low of 19 degrees which broke the record of 21 set back in 1992. The 19 degrees was also the coldest temp recorded so early in the season. He went on to mention that just once month ago, on October 2nd the station hit a record of 95 degrees which broke the record for hottest reading so late in the season! Wow!

Congrats to your family, Chris, for that unique honor. (I'll be in touch soon to explain why I never got back to you about the HVAC)

Hello all. Welcome to another upcoming winter season...albeit a bit early again. I actually like autumn a bit more than winter, so I'd personally like to have my November 50's high temps back for a few more weeks. Like many here today was my first official sighting of snowflakes. We had numerous brief periods of flurries mid to late morning with an occasional heavier snow shower that lasted a few minutes. I was outside during one of the heavier snowbursts, and with the wind blowing it suddenly felt like real winter. Looking forward to having convos with all of you throughout the upcoming season. Looks like tonight will be the coldest night of "fall" thus far with low to mid 20's for me by morning. Enjoy your weekend! ---Stephen

Hi Guys. Meant to post this late Thursday. With no rain in the forecast for Thursday a super-isolated shower developed as I was driving home from the gym. There was still plenty of blue sky and sunshine while all of a sudden it began to pour. Meanwhile, the sun stayed out the entire time and I was treated to a rainbow off to the east that I followed on my trip back to my house. When I arrived home the sun was still shining but it was still pouring and it continued that way for close to 20 more minutes. Picked up 0.10" of rain all while the sun stayed out the entire time. It was the strangest experience. I know it's common to have stuff like this happen down in Florida during the summertime, but usually around here you might get a few minutes of sun from a tiny break in the sky in the west while the rain is still falling. I would say at least half the sky was cloud-free during this non-forecasted rain "storm". Pretty amazing.

I saw a few talking about monthly climate so I thought I would just update my precip for this month. I have recorded 8.79" of rain this month, or about 2.25x the normal monthly amount. If I receive another 0.75" between now and the end of the month I will tie last July's rainfall of 9.5". Quite a feat to have back-to-back July's with nearly 10" of precip. July 2018 precip was then eclipsed 2 months later with 10.5" recorded in September. Wonder how this year will pan out? Oh yeah, my 3 highs from last Friday>Sunday were 95.1, 95.5, and 96.3 respectively.

Yesterday at 1:30 I was 93/77. Today I'm 94/75. Overnight low warmest of the year at 74. Next Tuesday>Friday look absolutely fantastic. Sunshine, Low 80's / Upper 50's. Doesn't get much better than that for mid-summer.

2pm ob from CXY 96/74 with heat index 107 Here at 2:18 I've got 93/76 with heat index 106
