From DT: ABOUT JAN 15-16 only 6 days away .... You undoubtedly will see some dumb weather weenie trying to play Jim Cantore OR some meteorologist on TV or social media attempt to tell you that this thing is a week away blah blah blah . That is Bullshit Remember folks the purpose of issuing weather forecasts is to get the weather information out to people /businesses. organizations BEFORE the event actually begins. If the data is correct the event begins on January 15 which is 6 days away -do the math Anybody telling you this is 7 or 8 days away is full of shit- either they are stupid or too lazy to be bother so they bullshitting you hoping that they dont have to work too hard.

DT is starting to get excited too. But I don't know if that includes Pennsylvania.

Good discussion with DT and others.

US National Weather Service State College Unseasonably mild with occasional rain today Rain ends late tonight; returns to start the weekend Windy and colder with snow showers on Sunday Slight warmup with no precipitation early next week

What a beautiful day to work in the yard. Sunshine and no wind! 48 here.

Glad you have those records from way back!

I remember back in the late 70s we had a snowstorm on a Monday,Wednesday and Friday the same week. I don't remember what month it was. It was either January or February. Each storm dumped a foot each time. I remember Penndot was working around the clock that whole week plowing. Would be nice to see that again.

Maybe the best of winter is yet to come! Waiting for that 2' snow storm, it's been awhile!

Temperatures will trend warmer through Friday, but will the trend continue on Saturday? There is CONSIDERABLE uncertainty in Saturday's high temperatures across Central PA. A warm front will lift north, but how far north it gets will have BIG influence on temperatures

BIG CHANGES NEXT WEEK THIS WEEK IN WEATHER JAN 7-8 2026 Great video presentation.

Much need rain is coming, as of now.

Wish we could get more of them this Winter.

Yes i'm rooting for a big, big snowstorm. One that keeps people home for a few days. But constant cold without any threat of storms to me imo is a waste of the cold. Maybe if i'd see the sun more here this winter it wouldn't' be so bad. It just seems so dismal out. this increase in daylight will definitely help me out.

It's been a boring pattern. Not to mention the seemingly continuous cloud cover.

If we can't get any good snowstorms, it might as well warm up.

Same here what looked like a fairly nice day has turned to overcast around 9am.

about the same here too.

Remember the last forecast warmup around Christmas, and what transpired? Hope they're right this time.

can confirm a dusting of snow overnight here.

Seems the weather will do what it wants to do this winter, despite what the models say.

Down to 11 here @7:20.

We need that here.
