Thanks for sharing that PNS!

With the mid-level low at that position and intensity, how can it not hold onto the surface low? When you see a closed 500 mb low at that position any time of year...be aware!

1.5" on my board; won't melt it until tomorrow morning...I have observed no sleet to this point but i haven't been hanging outside all day either, but each jaunt outside...all snow every time. It's varying in intensity. It was bringing it about 30 mins to and hour ago! Valley Green, northern York County. And I will not be throwing snowballs today as my arm is still recovering from the other day!

On a completely different note, Pivotal will be changing its website layout soon. They let paying customers check it out and comment. We'll, I think it sux and I told them I hate it and will be canceling. They said they've had mostly positive comments. I don't buy it. My retirement money website changes their site every few years and I swear it's always worse. These places need to get the website designers out and just keep a few to maintain the site. I had the same website from 2009-2022 and I got similar numbers with hits and calls the entire 13 years. Anyway, if you like the looks of Pivotal, don't get used to it.
I agree with you about website design and user interface. The changes are often superficial, aimed at creating a more modern appearance, but they don’t necessarily make the site more informative or functional.

Snow has finally shut off here in the capital city. What a day.
It's been snowing, albeit very lightly, ALL DAY here. About 3 pm, it kinda evolved into a drizzle/snizzle. Made for great snowball throwing...my shoulder will be slightly sore in the am...but I still "kinda" got it.

@CASH_COOP
It might be time for you to yet again talk to CTP…How the heck did they only record .1 of “snow” yesterday after several hours of sleet?
They had several hours as “freezing rain/ice pellets” that should have added up to at least several tenths of what goes in the books as snow.
Many of us not far away from MDT had near 1 inch of sleet or more…
Yes...my observation was 0.5" with 0.33" liquid. And my location is ~2 miles SSW of KMDT...We had heavy sleet for over an hour last evening...and I do mean heavy to the point the plows came through and pushed the accumulated sleet off the roads...

I think he means the dramatic change from 1 run to the next
I’m not sure if everyone here follows JB’s posts on WxBell, but he firmly emphasizes the importance of studying teleconnections, the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), and historical weather events with similar 500 mb anomalies. He often notes that he cannot rely solely on models the way many younger forecasters do. Instead, his extensive experience allows him to recall past weather events across all seasons and identify similar upper-air patterns and surface maps. Given that history often repeats itself in meteorology, this approach provides valuable insights. (Analog forecasting)...
From my observations over the years, JB is an excellent medium- and long-range forecaster. He is also known for his brutal honesty, particularly when addressing the inconsistencies and biases present in weather models. While I’m not here to advocate for him, I do recognize that he is a highly skilled and knowledgeable meteorologist.

I'm excited for the potential of sleet tomorrow. I genuinely like it. If I get 1" of that I'll be thrilled.
If the NAM 3km is correct...you just might get your wish. At ~2:1, Lanco is looking at about 0.6-0.7 liquid falling almost as all sleet. Uhhhhh...models!

Looking over CTP winter event history, the most recent significant ice storm around these parts was January 1, 2021.
Wow! Man, I just don’t remember that! But then again, I’m not sure what I had for dinner last evening either…

The consistency across all global weather models strongly indicates an upcoming shift in the weather pattern. The most notable change is that Pennsylvania will be positioned within a storm track expected to bring ample precipitation over the next few weeks. Additionally, as we move later into winter and transition toward the warmer season, the southeastern ridge will attempt to establish itself.
With the polar vortex projected to split between both hemispheres, there will likely be significant opportunities for winter weather over the next 4–5 weeks. Given the current conditions, much-needed precipitation is on the way. Even if a portion of it falls in frozen form, this period of winter is shaping up to be a memorable one—especially for lifelong residents of the KMDT area.

6.7" snow with 0.36" liquid for a very high ratio of 18.6 snow:liquid Valley Green, northern York County. The 3rd week of January is living up to its climatological "norms" if you will. Just walked the property and it is serene, crystal clear, and calm. Came in just to warm up a bit! The dogs didn't seem to mind the fresh snow cover and frigid temps!

2 gallons of milk, 2 dozen eggs, and 2 loaves of bread. Thanks!
24 eggs just might require a monthly payment?

I’ll take chances with less amplified system because dealing with thermal issues suck.
.Dealing with thermal issues pales when compared with dealing with Federal Income Taxes and the complicated laws that go along with them! The wx is my sanity; I'd rather stare at upper air charts and skew-Ts as opposed to what counts as income and what is deductible!

I’m sorry but WTF is State College’s reasoning for downgrading York and Lancaster to a WWA for 3-5 inches? Maybe the far northern part of the two counties, but almost every model now has like 6-8 in most of the county. Zero sense…
the biggest mistake the nws ever made was not issuing a hurricane warning for north jersey and nyc for sandy! nws tries to be too fancy as opposed to operating under their mantra as to being a weather ready nation. cwa forecasting is a broadbrush and many wfo have divided counties to account for differences in the sensible weather observed. bottom line…i agree with the zero sense comment.

Many of you are obviously savy to the college football game, but the ND-PSU rivalry is huge! Both teams travel very well so Miami will be a hoot next week! Not that it matters too much, but the GFS progged temps for gametime afternoon.

A few were mentioning their precip totals for 2024...My gauge is ~3 miles SSW of KMDT which went into the books just under 43" for the year. At our humble abode, we measured just under 42" for the year. Fairly close agreement for having throughout the year rather diverse measurements for our convective precip events.

Central PA Winter 2024/2025
in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Posted
Not a fan of March winters as a former high school spring sports coach! Baseball in PIAA should be in the fall, but there's no way with king football. Track and field is ok...but often damp, cold and windy for both the runner and throwers! Love the 4 seasons!
