CTP:

.CLIMATE... Closing the books on the meteorological winter (Dec-Feb) 2020-2021. Prelim data shows Harrisburg finished as the 28th snowiest on record with a total of 36.0 inches or +11.3 inches above the 30-year average. Total snowfall at Williamsport ranked as the 8th snowiest winter with 53.8 inches or +26.1 inches above the long term mean. February was also a notable month in the snowfall category as Williamsport (8th snowiest with 22.0 inches), State College (11th snowiest at 25.2 inches), and Harrisburg (18th snowiest with 19.7 inches) set notable marks. Of additional note: February of 2021 was the snowiest February since 2014 at all 3 sites.

I would be interested to see numbers for areas in between State College and Harrisburg. I feel like there was a dry zone from eastern Bedford through portions of Juniata and Perry counties that saw very little from any of the events this season. 

Take a map and trace a corridor from Rt 26 in Everett up towards 994 in Entriken to Rockhill Furnace, and 522 from Orbisonia to close to Beaver Springs and I feel like from storm threads and radar memory, that area likely got less than half of State College and/or Harrisburg. 

Crazy winter.

No, that typo was not a typo.  Hour 300 is just as likely to come true as day 300.  LOL.   Both are potential snow days.  :-).   There is snow in the 300's on the Para I looked at earlier.   

I'm fine with snow on day 300. What is that? Early October?

Good. By March, I'm ready for spring. They've started playing baseball down in Florida and I'm ready to start hiking the trails. Unless we have a March 1993 blockbuster staring us down, I'll pass on cold and snow.

So that's it? Biggest bust in a few years here. 

Hence why I said today was this year's annual "Weatherman Takes One On The Chin" Day. Gonna be a few "We blew it." Segments on TV and social media. 

So, I guess it's "Weatherman Takes One on The Chin Day." It happens once a year.

we're in storm mode. the silence in here is deafening.

Sorry. I'm at FHS' bushcraft hut made of pine needles and hopes and dreams tryna penetrate his nanny with a crowbar. Gonna have to go radio silent for a few hours.

That was like three graphics ago. 

I'd love to be sitting in the office at CTP right now. You have WSW for the majority of your CWA and guidance suggests dropping to WWA for the southern 2/3 of the CWA and nothing for the rest, but I don't even know if that's allowed. What do you do for those areas? Issue a HWO? Downgrade to WWA even though that may not verify? Tough call. 

Their silence this afternoon is pretty noticable. 

There are going to be some counties in the NW area of CTP's CWA that may go from WSW to nothing.

I'll be honest and I don't want to poo poo on the party which is why my posts have been few and far between today...

Since Sunday, I have felt exceptionally good AND confident about this storm.

My faith in this storm is wavering big time today for 2 reasons: overall less QPF being modeled, and more importantly, mixing issues. 

Someone talk me back from the precipice. First one to alleviate my fear gets a free brewskie. 

Easy. The world will continue to spin no matter what happens.

LOL. Yep we need the Nooners. 

I just called @canderson's wife about a nooner. 

This thread is now about FHS being cast in the remake of "Roadhouse."

Ah yes, the ole delete job. What was so important that it felt needed to be shared until the moment it actually was?

So, Ebola's back. So that's fun. 

Oh, and it's going to snow again. 

That was a look at the news. @canderson will be back in a moment with an update on the hundreds of millions of deaths in Texas.

My family is freaking out. Snow will cripple the infrastructure and millions will be without power. 

I'm sure the mega churches will open their doors. Or perhaps they can flock to Jerryworld.

Who’s Otis 

no really. 
 

yeah I’m old. 

I would assume @canderson was referencing Otis, the drunk from Andy Griffith.

Welcome! We are a great group, except @Atomixwx. He’s the resident Otis. 

What an insult to Otis.

If we get anything from Sunday storm it’ll feel like nice bonus. Let’s keep this train rolling!

You get no bonuses.

Snowing pretty decently currently, likely some of the best rates of the storm. Wind kicking up too.

I think that may be taking people surprise. A couple of friends of mine back near Huntingdon were saying about how it barely snowed at all yesterday and overnight but it's snowing pretty good this morning.

Oh ok. I wake up at 7:30 like a normal human.

i ate lunch at 730

Looks like flakes mixing in now. Hoping for a complete flip soon

You guys sleep?

CTP keeps lowering totals. Some places may lose warnings at this rate.

I want you gentlemen to know that we laugh about this because it’s true, not because it’s odd.  The line in the liquor store part of Madison’s Woodman’s, which is like your Wegman’s, was a world class affair on Saturday AM!  There was a woman with sixty of those little single-shot bottles of liquor in her cart and another gentleman with seven fifths of Tito’s. All for a five-inch storm...

Were you supposed to be flying @Voyager this afternoon?
