Bubbler86 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Does anyone have the daily high and low records for MDT? I thought it would be easy to find but after 5 min of searching I came up empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It’s quite loud outside. I remember when I think Isabel came through. That night sounded like a constant jet engine. I went to my parents and made everyone sleep in the basement. About 6 am an 80 foot tree feel, barely missing the house, neighbors house and 3 cars had minor damage. It basically fell perfectly to avoid horrible outcomes. From that day forward my parents and siblings listened to me without question when it came to weather. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 So MDT has a legit chance to break 3 low records temps this week based on a blend of the GFS, Euro and CMC. March 5th, March 7th and March 8th (with the CMC temp on the 8th being the coldest temp ever recorded at MDT in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, see this link for the confusing history: https://www.weather.gov/media/ctp/ClimateStationHistory/Harrisburg LCD Site History.pdf CTP used to have easy-to-access quick links for the daily records under the "Climate and Past Weather" tab at the top of their page but has since made everyone go through the NOWdata screen which some people find unintuitive and difficult to use. Not sure why they got rid of the old links which took you to nice simple tables for every day of the year for both Harrisburg and Williamsport. They still display the "daily normals" tables in this format but for some reason made the daily records more difficult to access. But it's all there if you're willing to dig a little.

Jns2183 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 There is a site that has all storms that generated a NESIS ranking going back 15 years I believe. It allows you to put in a location and a radius of say 100 miles and pull in all the snowfall amounts listed by spotter reports within that radius for each storm in an easy format for data collection. I’m thinking of doing it centered around kmdt to build a good data set of snowfall distributions and since each report has a long/lat I can built grids of say 10mi^2 or smaller to create a density map of accumulations in its most basic form. Depending on how deep I go with Python will determine what all I can do but I should be able to find some neat microclimate trends and hard data to support some of our theories here. .

And a school while in 5th grade. Wind is not my friend. Plus the way my house sits it’s a giant sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably never happen again . Edit March 6th 2015 (-1F) March 1st 2014 (0F) Harrisburg hit -1 during that March 2015 cold outbreak, its coldest March temp ever recorded. I hit -3 at my house during that time. The coldest temp I have ever recorded in my brief ten years of keeping data was -5.2 at 6:38am on January 1, 2018. That was during a stretch of 14 consecutive days we had where the temp never reached freezing, one shy of the all-time record of 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To anyone using that NOWdata tab on the NWS site (https://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=ctp), be sure to select "Harrisburg Area" as the location and not somewhere specific like MDT, so that you get all of the data compiled from the various Harrisburg reporting sites going back to 1888.
