Jns2183 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think so, I think they come down the mountain, hit the water, and build strength into the city due to the building heights. Like if you're in NYC in a storm you can see a massive difference depending on the avenue you're on. My office is on Front Street so it gets direct exposure.It would be interesting if we could get wind speed and direction data from your office weather station going back a few years for all wind advisory days we had and compare it to kdmt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this second half of February sure has turned bleak quickly.... active pattern still but nothing coming together correctly for snow lovers.

Up until this past weekend I would have taken a bet on that, but geez things sure don't look good at this point. You might very well be right... ...wait - where is Blizzard of 93 at?

Jns2183 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Anyone know where I can find a daily KMDT observation data set going back 30 years that I can download in csv format?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 MDT is sitting at 5.5 inches of snow this year. CTP has a great bar graph that shows the seasonal snow total amounts dating back to 1980. The MDT average is a little over 30 inches per year. The last 3 years have finished above average with season total amounts of 39,39 & 44 inches. It is the best 3 consecutive year period since 1980. The vast majority of the worst snow seasons since 1980 managed to get MDT into at least the low double digits. History tells us that we probably are probably not done with snow yet. Also, it is obviously now only the middle of February, and as recently as last year, we have had measurable snow in the first week of April. We still have about 7 weeks left to score some snow. Joe Bastardi posted tonight about the MJO now going through the colder phases of 8 & then into phase 1. He said the Euro ensemble looked good for the last week of February with a trough in the east & a ridge out west. The winter clock is ticking, but the game is not over by a long shot.

Atomixwx Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 This has been 2 awful winters back to back. We ended up above average only because of the high score. Aside from that, nothing. What's worse is that the cold air will finally arrive. In April. It won't check out until June. People were immense ***holes last May because the sun was nowhere to be found. I'm not saying it needs to be polar here, but when we have spring in December and Fall in May, it makes you want to climb the ladder to heaven and punch God right in the sack.

Agreed...except for punchin you know who in the sack. I have plans someday and dont want to make it tougher than I already have. Outside of the biggie last year, it has been two HORRID years for those of us that like to see snow. While we can score in 5 months out of the year, it really is a 90 day window for winter enthusiasts. Guess thats why i pisses me off when we dont get nare a flake and when we do the moaning about it drives me batsh!t crazy. Its not like we have endless winter round here. Still think were not done yet, and any that are writing March off need to look at how well the models have done so far this winter. Euro in the last two days has been a fish outta water, and mo nature can be all to cruel. Truth be told, I'm not sure what the end of next week will be, and dont know what to tell my sled buds who are already askin. Its been challenging for sure.

If you want to talk HORRID come up to the true CPA corridor haha. i guess its all perspecive then because you guys get a constant barrage from the lakes, and I barely see a flake from then down here. For me, I'd give up the "biggies" to be able to have the frequent bouts of refresher squalls that lay down 1-3" and have snow on the ground....even if only a few inches. I like the wintery appeal/beauty. Ok....back on topic....oh thats right...theres nothing to talk about....unless you like warmups and more of the same. SMH Late next week is next chance for anything, and that biggie once again looks to have the right track, but no cold around. Just pure depressing.

Wmsptwx Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 State College and Williamsport get less than barraged from the lakes, it literally all downslopes before it gets here. Only thing we do better up here is CAD, which is usually 4 inches of wet snow followed by rain showers and 37 degree temps. Lol, I would gladly trade then in to see what a crippling snowfall is like in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millersville sports didn't interest me much, although I did follow baseball and field hockey some. One of the girls in the major was starting goalie for National Championship winning squad my senior year! I follow Penn State football so that would work.
