It's crazy to think that the 94 players strike probably sent them to DC. That ballclub was eventually going to clear the hurdle they kept running into in the previous years and there wasn't anybody catching them. I think they would have had to deal with the Braves eventually that postseason, but I think the Expos were on the road to the pennant when they shut it down. A world series championship keeps them in Montreal, and builds a new ballpark. Now they're just stuck with nothing until the Rays get there. Could not agree more with all of what you said. Even as an Orioles fan I would buy Phillies tickets when the Expos were in town. They were so much fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the squall line will as well... I think the squall line might have some staying power across the state. I bet it makes it to at least Harrisburg with a decent burst of snow, and it may cross the rest of the state. It's being driven by the dynamics of the arctic front and the latest mesoanalysis shows the snow squall parameter product registering pretty good ( latest is lagging by about an hour or so). Some of that ever so slightly stronger Feb sun would've really lit this thing up if it were the daytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture to guess not much more than a tenth of an inch, but it did snow overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 33 here to start the day. People already complaining here in the office about how cold it is outside...I looked at a couple of them and reminded them that it's still well above normal for this date. No sign of any precip overnight here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sign of any precip overnight here. I just looked at MDT's temps from after midnight and it was 38 so my comment yesterday about the 35 and under string being broken was wrong. MDT may go 30 or more days now hitting 35 or more each day. Its possible they stay below 35 tomorrow but otherwise it goes at least another week.

Thought I was on the 0Z 2/14 Map but was on the 12Z (7AM) when looking at when MDT would go below 35. Next chance to break the string would be Wed.

Voyager Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Six years ago today. I shovel the yard for the dog so I don't have a million land mines to clean up come spring time. Check out the size of the snow piles. By comparison, our dog is a 60 lb Black Lab and the wooden fence is 6 feet high... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Coldest night so far this winter in Lancaster was 18. Seems reasonable to believe that we could break that tonight.

I am waiting to punt with my interests as I still have wonderment in next Friday. This Sunday night did not develop at all. Punting for the rest of the winter is just a two week punt for the Met winter folks at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daxx Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 A winter like this one makes you appreciate the good ones. If you ask me we have been quite spoiled here in the lsv.

I think the GFS, Icon and CMC in particular have really struggled in the mid range. It has lead to an additional build up of anticipation every 6-12 hours because you just knew it was going to be different than last run b ut 90% of the time this winter different meant either worse or if better not enough for the more populated areas of the forum. I am used to much less drastic changes than this year has featured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more upset about the lack of really any cold air than snowfall. Last winter was a really nice one - that one big storm to kick it off then a bunch of 3-4"ers. We've had a ton of big snows the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
