  1. Everybody remembers winters to be worse when they were a kid. We tend to remember the big events. Those are memories we hold onto. The older I get, the more I hear my generation say, “when we were young, winters were so much worse”. I was a kid in the 80s and those were some of the leanest years for snow. .
  2. Based solely on models, this has been trending in the wrong direction for LSV folks. And I feel it’s not done moving further north and west. This is not our storm. .
  3. This storm still has my interest....even being in Lancaster County. I would be giddy if I was in State College. .
  4. I remember driving from Selinsgrove to Lancaster during the height of the storm. I loved every minute of that drive. My wife at that time was in complete horror. .
  5. For whatever reason this upcoming storm has a Christmas 2002 feel to it, but that may be me just dreaming. .
  6. It did sleet, but it was a mix of snow and sleet with intense thunder and lightning. Best storm in my book. .
  7. That’s why they are fun to look at and fantasize about, but unless it’s within a 5 days, it’s only model porn. .
  8. If it ain’t gonna snow, I love the milder conditions. I’m 47 years old and really starting to like warmer weather. Unfortunately, I still love snow so I know we need the cold for that. .
  9. I hope some of those long term looks come to fruition. Maybe I pay attention to it more, but I can’t remember a time when these crappy PAC conditions have been so persistent for so long. Seems like it is always lurking. .
  10. Living in Harrisburg from 1988 to 1996, I know the benefits of those mountains....cold air hangs really tough. .
  11. Even with PD2, we flipped to sleet for 3 or 4 hours because of the ESE onshore flow, while Harrisburg was bathing in white fatties. .
  12. Experience in local weather plays a huge role. I know that living in Lancaster, and it’s a snow to ice to rain event, 8 out of 10 times, it will change from snow to ice to rain quicker than forecasted. We don’t live close enough to those big hills that sit just west of Harrisburg and Carlisle. Our cold gets eroded fairly quickly. Where Lancaster can overperform in the snow department comes from storms that we are fringed. .
