Concur and I would guess, without doing math, it is 1.5-2BN. Only 4 days left to lower it. Also, in sad new RIP Greg Gumbel. A legend of sports.

Your post made me go back and check records as it has been more than a couple down here. In MDT's history it has only finished under 10" of snow 6 times since 1890. The period checked was Nov 1 through May 31. Three of them have been in the last quarter century with two in the last 5 years. I purposely kept the Oct 2011 snow out of this list as it would hide what was a truly terrible winter for snow. Since the beginning of the decade (with some time Nov/Dec 2019) only one year has been decent as to snow totals at MDT.

Thank goodness I do not have to go to Hanover today! You would probably block traffic to make me feel the pain.

To clarify, I was only forecasting 60's Sunday (though someone may pop today.). AN for 7-14 days, probably 7 or 8 as trends continue to favor cold afterwards.

43 (with a low of 41) and about .25" of rain since last evening. Rain pulling out earlier than forecast. Appears to be mostly done for much of the LSV...a good 4-6 hours early compared to some runs the last 24-48 hours. HRRR has some making a run for upper 50's today.

Not going to trust that the models are right on the dot. If I saw one week and it goes to 8 days, then it is wrong.

18Z GFS had Friday but that was why I said 1-2 weeks. Had the Thur low in the 30's but getting colder into Friday AM.

Watch those lows. A high of 42 and a low of 30 is AN.

I love cold as long as there is some precip withy it. 15 and dry is not ideal. Just wasting oil and electricity. Last I checked models, 47 for a high will be cool compared to the next week to two.

Crazy 47 here today.

Nooners. Mostly sunny and 44

MJS, ITT other Lanco posters are the problem children right now. D2's among us.

Blizz wants to rid himself of the D1. As MJS said, pure rainer this weekend.

Low of 28 here. Up into the mid 30's now. Maybe the last freezing temp this year.

Have to get you out of D1 and ITT/MJS need it to avoid a D2 to start the New Year. Northeast Drought Summary A one-category improvement was made to portions of western Maryland and West Virginia which received near one inch of precipitation this past week. Following the major drought that began in July and peaked later in September, frequent precipitation along with seasonably cooler temperatures have led to continued drought improvement across the Central Appalachians. Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island also benefited from recent precipitation and a one-category improvement was made to this region, closely following guidance from the NDMC short-term drought blend and 90-day SPI. Although precipitation was lighter (0.5 inch or less, liquid equivalent) this past week across Connecticut, southeastern New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and northeastern Maryland, a reassessment of SPIs at various time scales and lack of ground impacts led to a one-category improvement for portions of these states. Full Summary

For now, enjoy the 60's on Sunday,

Low of 24 over here.

Well something weird, it does not show that now. I must have had the wrong one when I was viewing, embarrassing. My Bad. Edit-It was HGR that made mid 40's.

MDT failed in this endeavor. Made it to 42 where I was in Dillsburg. 40 in Rou. LNS bolted into the mid 40's. This weekend looks undesirable weather wise. Rain and 40's Sat, rain and 60's Sun.

I did not see any stats on it but did see the NWS definition is at least 1" on the ground at 7AM re: 1/2" is not a White Christmas in their records. White Christmas at MDT since 1970 that cheats and does not require 1" https://www.ydr.com/story/news/2024/12/23/how-many-times-has-a-white-christmas-happened-in-york-county-pa/76948948007/

Bring us home an early Jan snow, Blizz.

Merry Christmas Weather Enthusiasts. 36 at KROU.

Blizz almost got a Christmas present but cold air not established yet. A few days in the 50's and 60's next week.

43 and a nice cloud deck/christmas feeling out last min shopping. Stores are a lot less busy than I expected. Many major stores closing at 6 so I guess people are done with shopping.
