PA Weather Plus, LLC: While I do not want to take the attention from the current winter event, considering post-Christmas travel, I want to bring attention to our next winter storm potential. No matter at which scenario you look at, it is becoming increasingly likely for significant impacts to the region on Friday, December 26th, across Pennsylvania in the form of snow and ice. A low-pressure system will be ramming against a strong Arctic high, allowing for heavy snow and ice. I am currently working on scenarios for this potential storm. The blog post will be out around 9 AM, if not sooner!

Everything covered here, temp 32

My forecast for Friday: Friday A chance of snow before 1pm, then snow and freezing rain. High near 31. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Friday Night Freezing rain, mainly before 1am. Low around 26. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

34 here currently, don't see this sticking around long.

You mean you were going over to strong arm them. You know you can't reason with them dudes.

NWS changed their tune in temps and precipitation for Friday. Those 40s and 50s are gone!

You should know by now IF that scenario changes they will be the last one to the table. Key word IF.

13 this morning.

PA Weather Plus, LLC ** LATE - WEEK POTENTIAL WINTER STORM ** Before I post today's blog post with the winter system expected tonight - Tuesday morning, I want to bring attention to the end of the week storm system, as there hasn't been a lot of talk about it. What originally looked to be a warm and dry Christmas and post-Christmas period, we are now watching the risk for a potentially more significant winter/ice storm to impact Pennsylvania. Right now, the coldest air is favored to be across central and eastern Pennsylvania, favoring either significant icing or snowfall. The CMC scenario currently remains the tamest, but still brings icing to northeastern Pennsylvania. I will continue to watch trends and bring you the latest updates throughout the week -stay tuned!

Forum seems to be fairly quiet lately. It seems disappointment has set in.

From our good friend DT: We have had a really good first half of December but now the second half is not as good. For some it is going to get pretty warm Christmas week. But as I maintained for years here on this Facebook page, on the website, and on my other social media platforms winter like the other seasons has fundamentally shifted because the climate is warming. Since the late 1990s the winter season has really consisted of January February and March. Even back in the good old days in the winters of the 1960s '70s '80s and '90s getting a big snow east of the mountains in December was not a common occurrence because of the ocean water temperatures are still relatively mild. That is even more of an issue over the last 25 years because of the warming climate. The point is that the heart of winter is still yet to come. And please keep in mind that meteorological winter is December 1 through February 28th. The winter solstice which is based upon astronomy has occurred today. Though many may not notice the shifting seasons has nothing to do with just winter. Usually September is a continuation of August and we don't really see the first cool air until October. It has been that way for about 25 years. Usually December is a continuation of November as the research shows that there has been a significant drop off in December snowfall over the Eastern CONUS s since the year 2000. Finally there are signs that we are going to come out of this shitty pattern that we are in - perhaps by the end of the year and we will see what January brings.

Would you expect anything less?

Still over 16,000 customers of PPL without power this morning. 17 this morning.

Just seen mdt had a gust close to 70.

I thought there was a tornado coming.

Temp dropped from 50 t0 39 in less then 4 min when that came through

I had a gust of 48.3 here with that squall. That's impressive with where I live. Son on his Ambient had a 76 gust and he lives on top of a hill about 2 to 3 miles as the crow flies from me.

Seems to be a little uncertainty on how this weather pattern will evolve the next 2 weeks.

1.03 rain from this event so far.

Feels like Spring out there.

The snow on the ground is gone except for the piles that I created.

Patiently waiting to see if this squall line will make it through my area. Was looking forward to a thunderstorm.
