This is interesting so going to expand on this back farther and show the area where things have changed as to what many of us notice (and this has been stated a lot by many here.) Red line showing the cooler years are going up consistently. This past summer was seen as a success for not being too hot but was hotter than any other "cooler year" since the early 80's.
Thanks for posting. Here is the same chart for MDT and Williamsport summers as a compare. Summer is based on seasonal met summer as defined by the NWS...June, July and August.
A bit cooler over here at 49. Have not had any sun yet. MDT has leaped Lanco and is 55/56. A recent rare occurrence where they are out pacing the models.
@Mount Joy Snowman MDT is .6 AN right now for the month and I suspect that goes up the next 1-2 days especially with a current standing low of 46 for the day...will they end Nov AN, BN or within .1 of either side of the line?
I do not record when the grass goes "dull" in winter but does seem later this year. I had a temp of 23 as a low for the fall. Looking at the GFS I have a shot in the last 8 days of fall to beat that 23.
If I were the snow mow type I could definitely mow as it is high enough, but I like to let it sit at 2-3" through the winter. Grass is very green despite the frosts.
That was higher than some stations down here. Quite a jump up there. Mesos have backed off highs the next two days to low to mid 50's LSV/Low 50's MSV today and upper 40's to low 50's LSV/mid to upper 40's MSV tomorrow. Some Meso's were pushing 60 in the LSV today as of yesterday.
No doubt, finally a break for the water bill. 44 here this AM. MDT feel just short of 50 yesterday at 49. LNS was leading the way all day and spiked to 53 last evening with some WU temps nearing upper 50's at 56. Did not check Williamsport's but the 50's were not supposed to invade that far.
Mesos still have low to mid 50's 7 or 8ish to midnight. Will see how that works out. They have low 40's right now which is pretty spot on here and LNS sitting at 43 right now. The Harrisburg stations are lagging 2-3 degrees.
Most meso's have the LSV punching into the 50's this evening so decent chance MDT is AN at least 2 of the next 3 days if models are to be believed. MDT needs to make it to 54 today to come in normal. The warmer lows Wed and Thur may make it easier to get AN those days.
