Voyager Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Mount Joy Snowman said: Correct. Memorial Day Weekend was extremely cold and dreary. Set two record low highs. On May 29th we topped out at 52, smashing the previous record of 57 from 1990. The next day we reached 56, breaking the record of 58 from 1953. I didn't get out of the mid 40's on both those days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just assuming this is a dud winter so any sort of positive change will be a nice surprise. A real nice surprise…. And post about other weather stuff, abnormalities and such, as needed without disdain from the crowd. Weather...it's the gift that keeps on giving all through out the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 11:30 am, 45 degrees here with no wind/breeze; feels very mild out. I’m grateful for the sections of somewhat patchy cloud cover that allow some occasional sunlight through. Edited to say, I think my mindset is similar to most of the regular contributors here in that if it’s going to be in the 40s anyway, I’d rather it be pleasant than miserable. Any day that I can comfortably be out for a long leisurely walk with the dog is a good day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count four occasions where Harrisburg received a total seasonal snowfall of under 10 inches -- 1937-38, 1949-50, 1994-95, and 2019-20. The one two years ago was the worst in history, as we all know too well, with just 5.1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough, Harrisburg's first year of record keeping in 1888-1889 may have had a shot at being under 10" as well, but they didn't start tracking until January of 1889 so we don't know what fell in Nov or Dec of 1888. However, only 8.0" was recorded in Jan thru March of 1889, so if Nov/Dec would have come in at under 2" we'd be in business. Doubtful but who knows. The following season of 1889-1890 was also lackluster, with only 10.3". I'll leave it up to you to decide if the snow measurement techniques were up to snuff back then ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two years of the period of record were among the least snowy, and the last two years of the period of record have been the warmest. Both are just coincidences, right? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
