MDT's chance to avoid a record run. Looks sort of likely right now (hitting 80 there).

Just checked the grass. It shrunk liked a frightened turtle so no cut this week. Going to go into the last week of April with only one cut and empty Oak and Maple trees. Either I am terrible at horticulture or Spring has not sprung here yet. The maple leaves are going to have a very short life span this year. Thought tomorrow would be a shorts day but Nam/GFS says get more pants out.

Still quite high out this way....ridge tops maybe.

29 for a low this Am.

Yea, it's defintely been a rocky spring. Some extreme highs but despite it being near normal, if feels like it has been below. The temps on the ec and gfs, next week, are very anomalous as the jet stream dips under us again...neg nao we needed in the winter has been persistently returning in April.

I actually avoided posting the NCEP Temp Percentages map for that time frame. Its fairly likely its going to be BN so did not want to stomp. Snow chances are just the luck of the draw per se. Warm probably 2-3 of the next 5 or 6 days.

18 GFS has a clipper like system bringing an appreciable snow to SW PA on April 27th/28th. Book it? Hardly...but like the rest of the last two months, something may come out in the wash with the cold air around. This April has been better winter wise than some of our recent Decembers.

We did not get almost 4" here though if the radar was simulated we very well could have. Regardless it says regional ob's so not much about it makes sense.

Weather channel really playing up the impact of this storm in Binghamton. A record setting with massive power outages.

Looks like the Historic District and MJS did better than they thought.

April 2018 at MDT had a handful of very warm days but ended up over 4 degrees below normal at MDT. Then May went to above normal similar to your info. The thread I read in the Ohio Valley forum suggested May would be delayed vs. May 2018 as to the actual warm up. Again, using tellies so...

2018 flipped right into summer, did it not? I think this cool spring goes well into May but hopefully a transition at some point. The irony again is that MDT is right around normal.

Probably somewhere in PA. Huge stretch for us. But LR models say I need to keep the heater on. Tellies, ground truth, everything.

You can do a whole truck run talking about it on your video. Every town you pass with a coldinista, you can give that person heck in the video....Marysville, Myra, Historic District, etc...

In all seriousness, I was readying the Ohio Valley thread and their trees are well behind as well....they are talking about punting May over there. But that is based on tellies so....

Maybe the jets are taking off the other way tonight? You guys were some 5-7 degrees colder than me this AM (I thought)...or a recent morning.

Ha! You are already praying for those Nov temps.

Lanco left off freezing warning...a bit surprised.

We just had a gust of 52. Puts the wind chill at 28.4 during the gust.

Where is my hardy, har, har emoticon? LOL

Could see some 2-4" accums Altoona and west. it has been impressive out there today. I think 3-4 of our most wintery days have happened since March 1.

Let me run that through @Blizzard of 93 and @paweather and see what their thoughts are.

There should be some decent accums in West Central PA with the training going on out there.

Congrats. I had a mix of both recently as well. Brutal out today.
