Are flood watches gonna be posted again? NWS has me getting possibly 3" of rain till Wednesday evening.

I remember 1983 very well.

DT thoughts:

Those too could fall by the wayside.

Seems like it's the same ole story year after year. Biizz will be devastated!

I wish I had some Geese, as they make good "watch dogs."

Yesterday afternoon I seen a huge flock of geese (I estimate about 100 or so) headed south in a perfect V. The same thing happened last year in December about a week or 2 before we had that cold outbreak before Christmas. I wonder if this is trying to tell us something.

It also doesn't help us when were on the cusp of a major winter storm and all the surrounding NWS offices have winter storm watches/warnings out and NWS State College does not. And their discussion usually seems to downplay the event coming up. Talk about a mental letdown when you see that. I wonder how many times we will see that this winter season. But they always seem to be late to the party.

What the model runs show, and what actually transpires are usually 2 different things. And thats why were all congregated here. For our passion of the weather. Yes there will be letdowns for some and victories for the others. But we move on to the next model run starting the process all over again. We have great discussion here on this forum. Keep up the great work you all do providing us valuable stats and info, and weather knowledge. This is what makes this forum a great place to be.

I guess that there is speculation on the colder, stormier pattern not lasting beyond 10-12 days in January.

Almost sounds like this forum needs a cleaning, come on people it's too close to Christmas for this!

30 this morning, warmed up overnight.

Do you think we should encourage/advise Penndot, townships and municipal authorities to put there snowplows up for sale due to climate change?

39 here.

Are we looking at another significant rain event next week?

20 cold ,and calm winds.

It almost seems were going through that now, "wait a week or two."

I'm confident i'll be one of those spots, Brrr!

When the pattern switches i hope we get a storm that produces 20 jnches. Then we'll all be happy.

I think MDT would still only report a "T"

Ground is totally saturated. If we keep getting these heavy rain makers, were gonna have a major flood.

My view this morning

No matter how much your prepare your mowing defense, there is always the hail mary mowing threat!
