Here comes a 'When I was growing up, I walked up hill both ways" story....but my memories of the 70's and 80's make February seem like more "dead of winter cold" especially the first half of the month. No doubt March is winter over time as to average weather. The Sun is a beast but hate when the sun takes away 3" of snow, in a matter of hours, when the temp is below freezing prior to Valentines day.

We are running out of months where saying the <month here> sun is good news. If it snows in October, the October sun gets it, if it snows in February, the February sun gets it. LOL. We are turning into Florida North!

We call it fake snow sometimes. Buffalo Bullshit as well.

Lows of 12-16 the next two nights will temper that a bit. Plus you stand a good chance of another coating-2" tonight.

Rototilling is probably already in progress!

Most of mine is gone already. It was not the kind of snow that resists sun.

The rest of winter is cancelled per the annual winter canceller in the MA thread.

HRRR concentrates the overnight snow squalls in the locations below. Not sure the amounts are important vs. where it depicts the minor lift/stringing of the atmosphere setting up.

Not sure it was right on all the locations but at this point, one could do pretty well just watching the HRRR from 2 days in and on.

More posts about gardening. :-) On this line of thinking, please have your OB's in by 6AM each of the next two mornings. Need to know snow depth on the mulch, how far down can you get a shovel into the dirt, if you had to turn your sprinklers on to freeze over plants you already put out...in a last ditch effort to protect them, etc...

Well with the prospect of heavy snow this evening, along with what we have on the ground, I think its time to go ahead and pull the trigger and issue a GWA. The Rouzerville office of the Weather Weenie Network, in coordination with other local offices, has issued a Garden Weather Advisory for the entire Lower Susquehanna Valley. ...GARDEN WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM Wednesday Morning. * WHAT...Snow of varying intensity this AM and overnight. Additional Garden Weather Issues with Temps staying below freezing until Wed AM including two nights in the middle teens. * WHERE...Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster, York, Adams, Franklin, Lebanon, Skooks. * WHEN...Until 11 AM EST Wednesday * IMPACTS...Plan on frozen, hard ground. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snowfall rates of 1 to 1.5 inches per hour have occurred just to the southeast of Interstate 81. Additional heavy snowfall rates are possible overnight into Monday. The heaviest accumulations will occur on colder, non- paved surfaces. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture reminds gardeners to adjust planting and cultivation plans as winter weather impacts will include snow covered flower beds and limited ability to dig into the permafrost. You are also reminded to reverse course and bring the hanging flower containers, put out last week, back in. Pets can also face issues during these conditions. If you see your dog or cat trying to dig holes in the hard ground, in vain, please set out a box of cat litter or dirt so they may resume training for spring, which begins in March.

You are slipping this year. We have no grass showing at all.

My zones says snow showers, could be heavy at times, for Sunday night? Hmmm....a mystery model being used? Just noticed the cms drops close to a foot of snow on Northwest PA late week.

Eyeballing about 3" on the grass. Roads never caved here.

The Rap is putting a hurting on the LSV as well. Prolly time to include Cumberland and Franklin in the WWA.

3K is going to be plowable for parts of the LSV (plowable is over 4" in my book). 4-5" from SE Franklin, through western Adams into Southern Cumberland. Some elevation there.

0Z HRRR joins the Nam camp in hammering SE PA. Still 1-2 for much of the LSV.

Must be Harden to deal with those temps!

Decent location....will need some slightly colder air for many. for

Palmyra snow emergency?

I bet Ralph Wiggum did.

I am so confused....posters tell me it is spring yet the sign at Cowans Gap (today) said no swimming??? And I fear if I dive in, it may be cold! I am out a few feet on the ice here.

Hrrr giving the LSV the goods at daybreak tomorrow. Temps in the mid to upper 20's

Yea, right now we are at a "Top 5" low, right? Maybe second or third worst? Too early to assume its going to happen but still...

Thanks. Job change so not an issue in a bad way just little time for weather.
