Interesting from JB: with the pattern evolving we could be in the battle zone with artic air in the vicinity and the southeast ridge flexing its muscle in the coming weeks. So maybe fun times await.

One thing I noticed it did not get as warm as NWS had forecasted 41 was forecasted only made it to 38.

I am impressed with my WS-5000 weather station data and performance so far.

Theres still time for a comeback, but it is soon gonna be the fourth quarter But I don't think even Tom Brady could muster a comeback.

Maybe we could be in for a surprise, but given the trend this winter idk.

I understand words can play a big part in peoples decisions based on a forecast. I don't know if I would wanna be a forecaster and issue a forecast. I'd get ridiculed either way on how or how not the forecast turned out.

Nws wants nothing to do with snow at least in the lower Susquehanna.

Good Ole DT changed his tone again. Now he's calling for accumulating snow for Pa. Except the southeast portion of Pa. I didn't know he waffled so much.

But NWS went with DT's call of rain now. But theres still time to get this ironed out.

Got to love DT. Last night he said heavy snow was possible around the 23rd. Tonight he said rain would make up the Precipitation for the rest of January. Only northern New England would stand the chance of getting any snow.

That's a big difference. But that's the price I pay in winter living here in a valley with the mountain on the south side and a creek on the north side. Can't wait for spring and summer. But I'm sure winter will deliver the goods till we get to spring. Still plenty of time left to go till we get to that point.

15 was the low here.

26 here

Yes great call. Just tell me when the 80's return with high dewpoints!

It is getting colder temp is still dropping.

Lets see if weather folklore plays out on this one.

Since I got my WS-5000 weatherstation I have been doing comparison on temps against my other Accu rite weatherstation. I have both within 5 feet of each other. I'm impressed with the sensitivity on the temps, wind and humidity dewpoint etc. on the WS-5000. The Accu Rite is mounted about 6 foot above the ground, the WS-5000 is mounted above the ground at 9 foot (to catch the wind better) I know I have never seen a gust above 24mph on the accu rite since I had it about 3 years. Both are within a degree or less of each other most of the time with the ws-5000 sometimes reading higher in temps. But the wind is imo picked up and I think more accurate then the Accu rite. Also the humidity is accurate on the ws-5000. The Accu rite transmits in about every 15 seconds vs the WS-5000 that transmits in less then 5 seconds. I'm happy with the WS-5000. So bring on summer and lets see those high temp reading that I will get.

29 this morning. Hopefully we get some sunshine soon. Seems like lately we been socked in the clouds for quite awhile.

Well maybe the Voyager curse will be about to be reversed...countdown is on.

Checked weather folklore. When you get thunderstorms in January expect snow in 7 to 10 days after the thunderstorms. So we will put this to the test to see if it has merit.

With your move...I truly believe you reversed the weather pattern here in Pa.

Thundered quite a few times very loud thunder with bright lightning

Yes at this time of the year I definitely have sun angle issues!
