    About a third of the way down... Pennsylvania Climate, Weather By Month, Average Temperature (United States) - Weather Spark
  2. Festus
    Watching Weather World last night, Ben Reppert mentioned "many Pennsylvania cities are in the running for one of the cloudiest January's on record". Given that January is the cloudiest month of the year in PA, BLAH

    Millersville has a shot at the record high minimum today. Current record is 44 set in 1967. Low for the day so far is 47. It is unfortunate to be talking about such things during peak climo cold time but such is life.

    Exactly 30 years ago (1994), Millersville recorded their lowest all time minimum temperature and lowest daily maximum temperature (bolded). The epic cold streak: January 19th: -2 / -14 January 20th: 11 / -10 January 21st: 18 / -18 The 19th was the only day in Millersville weather record history where the high temperature failed to reach 0.

    WWA hoisted by Mt Holly for Berks and Chester (and east) down this way for 2-4".

    5 here at the moment. Lowest since January 2022.

    Holy moly, Buffalo forecast from late this afternoon through Sunday night is 1 - 2 feet of snow, wind gusts mid 60's tonight and mid 40's tomorrow. How the f is there going to be a football game? But per the NFL, it is still game on. Wow, can't wait to watch!

    Pretty remarkable that 49 out of 50 states has a NWS product(s) issued (yes, AK and HI have something). Guess Arizona is the place to be.

    Euro 1"ish for LSV. So all combined model output is pretty much the typical 1" - 12" forecast 4 days out. Standard.

    Thank you for the sentiment. I live on the outskirts of East Petersburg in East Hempfield Township with a Manheim Address. On a bit of a hill so flooding is not an issue but wind on the other hand can be problematic. Lost a tree in that epic July 2022 thunderstorm. This doesn't look to be quite to that extent but the hatches will certainly be battened down.

    If that pressure verifies, only 3 2023 Atlantic hurricanes had a lower pressure (Lee, 926, Cat 5 / Franklin, 926, Cat 4 / Idalia, 940, Cat 4). Wowzers indeed.

    Confirmed here as well. Can still see grass tips poking through. Plowed slush at the bottom on the driveway will be a ton/cubic foot special. Might just let it sit and let Tuesday's monsoon take care of it.

    At least sleet sounds cool. (Um, nah. Just grasping at straws here.) Congrats to our north and west neighbors though.

    Definite lull here at the moment. Visibility near 1 mile. Guessing a little rain mixing in. Steelers at Ravens starts at 4:30. First half could be amusing until the back edge moves through.

    23 accidents on Lanco 911 Incident list at the moment. WTF, guess 1/4" of snow is just too much to handle for some folks.
  16. Festus
    Digital blue overhead but flakeless. 31/27 so probably imminent and no evap cooling.
  17. Festus
    Ah yes, the old WWA Consolation Prize for Lanco. Kinda like winning $4 in Powerball but at least it's something.

    So I fired up the snow blower for the first time in nearly 2 years in anticipation. Guaranteed kiss of death every time. Sorry guys, next time I'll wait.

    And as a total aside, today is Perihelion Day. As such, we receive 6.8% more solar radiation compared to Aphelion. Hope that doesn't cause precip issues this weekend .

    So I watched Weather World last night where they do the weekly PA extremes in terms of high and low temperature and weekly snowfall. Cashtown was the highest total in the entire state with 4.7" officially. Congrats! Click on the 1/30 show. around the 5:00 mark. https://pcntv.com/weather-world/

    A little quiet on the weather front so FYI, next Wednesday, January 4th, the Earth will be at its closest point to the sun (perihelion). When the Earth is the closest, it is also moving the fastest. As a result, winter in the northern hemisphere is roughly 4.5 days shorter than summer. Just another reason why this snow season better get a move on. Clock is ticking. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5335287

    I would be hard pressed to remember going from 55 to 0 to 60 over a ten day period.
  23. Festus
    And a possible 60 handle New Years Day? Crazy stuff. Hope there's not any damage resulting from the rapid cycle of temperature contraction and expansion.
  24. Festus
    FYI, Millersville record low daily maximum temperature for Christmas Eve is 19. Looks like they have a shot at that one. And another Millersville interesting one is Christmas Day in 1983 only reached a high of 8. Holy crap, that was one chilly Christmas for around here.

    Just took a run on the PA Turnpike traffic cams and did not see any appreciable snow. It is even partly sunny near Tuscarora. Anyone getting any accumulation?
