Chance of precipitation is 80%. Tuesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 48. Breezy. Tuesday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 30. Breezy. Wednesday Mostly sunny, That's my NWS forecast.

According to my NWS forecast, their is no precip in their forecast at all for Tuesday next week.

Started out as snow quickly coated the ground, now it changed to sleet. Some of that sleet is big crystals coming down.

I remember many years ago when we used to get those 1-3in. or 2-4in snowfalls, but it seemed every winter we could count on getting that one snowfall of 8+. And everyone would be happy. But that don't seem the case anymore. Even Voyager and I would be happy for just that one big snowfall, the warminsta's that we are. If we would get that just one snowfall, then we can move on to spring.

Before the thunderstorm which brought a lightning strike that knocked the power out for a few seconds. Had wind driven rain and pea size hail.

SPC has expanded their margian risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon in Pa.

Spring bulbs foliage are poppin out of the ground all over where I live. IMO that's way too early.

37 was the low with some dense fog. And 19 rain, monthly total now is .41.

NWS says thunderstorms are possible later this afternoon.

Maybe Blizz is having a nervous breakdown on the way this winter is turning out, and no solid consensus of it coming back

It's been a dry month so far here. .20 precip so far this month and we're 18 days in this short month.

Not used to this cold after being on the warm side for a few weeks.

20 this morning.

This winter has been so unreal due to the lack of cold and snow. And the models even 3 days out and beyond imo just seem useless this winter. But maybe as everyone will look forward to spring coming, then we'll get unwanted snow and cold. But who knows at this point.

Maybe, just maybe...there's hope to somewhat salvage the winter of 22-23. But it's almost the 4th quarter of winter. Unless a last minute Patrick Mahomes comeback is on the table.

Hit 70 today. Getting more sun now and with the sun angle increasing throughout each passing day as we head towards spring.

I remember that snowstorm well, Nws was originally calling for 1-3 and they kept increasing the amounts through the storm. Storm complete with thunder and lightning I ended up with 17in. Harrisburg had I think 2ft. and if im not mistaken their greatest 1 hour snowfall during the storm of 6in.

47 nooners.

The breeze started an pushed the temp to 49 from 38 all within an hour

Wow only 38 here.

Honeybees will come out from the hive during warm spells. They wer out in the beginning of January when it was warm. I have 1 hive of honeybees.

Some pics showed up on my Facebook from 5 years ago. that was any icy mess all ice under that snow. Maybe that should make the snow lovers reminisce of what it could have been this winter.
