JamieOber Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 i can't ever remember sitting in my stand wearing a long sleeve T shirt and a orange vest. Probably have. Human memory often isn't that great and it seems to be especially bad with weather. I lost count of the times I have had people question something I said about a big snowstorm that is actually in the weather records, etc. with "You sure? I would have remembered that.." But that was one of the warmer first days of deer season, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was pretty bad though...couldn't hike more than a couple hundred feet up the mountain without becoming a sweaty mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't remember being that uncomfortable where i started shedding that many clothes that early in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think '98 had this one by about 5-10 degrees and actually after having a look at the history of KAOO on Wunderground this one didn't even come close to the duration of that warm outbreak. This year was more of a warm spell triggered by the heights ahead of that very deep cut off system.. '98 must've been more like an all out heat wave. Even more impressive, 1998 was one of those years with a late opening day (Nov 31). At any rate it was 60+ at KAOO from Nov 28th-Dec 7th (!!) that year..with a few days of 70+ smattered in there. I could only imagine what the eastern and southeastern PA stations looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We honestly cut our X-mas trees down in shorts and T-shirts early december. then went back and set on our porch drinking beer like it was summer time. Having said that, i still don't remember 1st day of deer season and the warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember 1998, and double-checked it on AccuWeather Pro - that warm spell was really, really warm. I had forgot just how long it was. I remember fishing in shorts/t-shirt on the Allegheny River above Pittsburgh. Man, were they ever biting. Fish must have thought it was April.

hckyplayer8 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Much better weather today. Only problem, I didn't dress for it. Froze my arse off up on top of Gold Mine....which had the passing snow/rain squall BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froze my arse off up on top of Gold Mine....which had the passing snow/rain squall BTW. Nice. It was just some sprinkles down here in the valley. That's like 1600ft up there? It was nice to have a more seasonal day, high around 46-47 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think this next storm is to watch. 0Z GFS blows up a back tail and if that come up a bit more we could see a 2-4" event or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PottercountyWXobserver Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 That's going to be the way it is this winter, I'm afraid. Same goes for writing anything off. Yeah unfortunately with not much blocking, the winter is up in the air. If we can't get a -NAO we are def going to have to rely on the Pacific to help us out. Would be nice to have a substained -EPO here for a while. I wish the PNA would cooperate to, it looks to tank again this month . I'm still not confident in the anafront type fropa event, they usually don't happen. I think the SE ridge is going to be the death of us this winter, in the longer range it looks to flex its muscles at times really pumping heights up in the NE, if we can get the PV to settle in eastern Canada that will be the saving grace as long as it doesn't suppress the storm track. It stinks not havin a -NAO because we need so many other things to come together to overcome the little blocking we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Was going to go to the Bishop McDevitt game tomorrow in Hershey, but man it's going to be too cold to sit out watching football about teams I don't have a huge interest in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 06z GFS ensembles coming in much whiter for Wednesday. Mean snow liq equivalent 0.43".
