Howdy gents (and ladies if there are any out there), I'm a long time lurker of various weather forums but decided to finally take the plunge and join.  Been keeping fairly detailed weather data going on ten years now for my location here just south of Mount Joy in Lancaster County.  I live at the base of Chickies Ridge (Chiques if ya like), on the north side, at a low elevation of only ~360 ft.  I'm prone to some pretty decent inversions on calm clear winter nights where I'll often be 5-10 degrees colder than up on the ridge.  Of course, the opposite is true in all other scenarios, which is the vast majority of the time ha.  Anyway, now that I told you a bit about myself, let's get to tracking.  Too many impulses coming through in the next week to not cash the goods on something.  Seemed like the perfect time to join, cheers!

Sabillasville is a nice snow yard for sure . There elevation 1500' ? . I remember October 29, 2011 they got 12"+ . That local is still east enough to get good coastal action as well.  

Sabillasville is around 1100ft.  Cascade sits closer to 1400-1500ft.  Highest point on south mountain (Quirauk Mountain) is 2145ft right above the old fort Richie.   My dad worked there for 20 years and site r (raven rock).  I know a lot about the area in general.

Welcome! You are close to me - I live just outside of Maytown on the Mount Joy side very close to the air strip.

Nice, I'm very familiar with that area.  I feel like I know some of you already just from reading the boards ha.  Also, whoever brought up Married With Children earlier, god bless you, I love that show and don't care what that makes me.  Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.....

Nice!  I normally work in Harrisburg, used to take the train every day, but we've been working from home since last March.  Who the heck knows when The Guv will let us come back.

Agree. I'm right on the m/d line just south of Littlestown and Hanover.  Just got home and see I was Just upgraded to a warning for 4-8" . Nam 850 fgen looks nice across SC Pa and Northern Md 

I noticed on some of your posts that you work in PA from time to time as well so you are a line straddler like a few on here including myself.
