It has never hit 80 at MDT in Feb (recorded history.) this always happens honestly the last few years when models show cold 1-2 weeks out it always gets pushed back another 1-2 weeks and the prev so called cold snap out of no where becomes a warm snap. so if I remember this time period was shown to be in the 20s but now in the 70s? lol a 50 degree turn in a week wow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I have only one question? Will the Mason Dixon line 25,000 ft wall please move 300 miles to the north? That dam wall is preventing precip from reaching our area. To hell with the snow- it will never come but I would like to see at least one inch of a good soaking rain with a t shower. I guess that is too much to ask for. I have had less than a .25 of an inch of rain in three weeks. When they trenched my yard for a Fios cable today, the topsoil was literally brown powder.

I here all the extra green on the maps this year is actually just too much free government grape juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranked #6 on the Northeast Snowfall Impact Scale (NESIS), the system dumped 20-30” across southern PA! I still vividly remember that storm and waking up and seeing just how much had fallen. I was excited the night prior because we wouldn't have school and then was surprised when it ended up snowing way more than some thought it would 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My notes show 32" for this, then added 4 additional Monday into Tuesday. we were having a great winter before that storm, starting off with almost 2" November 26th, 6.5" on December 5th and then the awesome Christmas snow of 13" i finished with 79.5" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 From 57 at midnight, 54 right now, to potential teens here tomorrow AM. Southern PA Winter 22-23. MDT surprisingly in the 40's just after midnight but did get up to 57 this AM. Both the Euro and CMC have a boundary runner winter storm 7-8 days out as the models continue to struggle with where the boundary sets up for late Feb.

Maybe, just maybe...there's hope to somewhat salvage the winter of 22-23. But it's almost the 4th quarter of winter.

I will say this....JB's punt based on an unpredictable, LR MJO forecast looks silly. 2 days later and the same LR MJO forecast is trending toward being two zones away from what he based his thoughts on. It is not ok to post 384 snow maps but 384 MJO maps are ok to punt off? LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the models even 3 days out and beyond imo just seem useless this winter. But maybe as everyone will look forward to spring coming, then we'll get unwanted snow and cold. But who knows at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Sort of weather related. Both Pivotal and TT are CPU and Mem hogs if you sit on a model panel screen. Did not notice it until now. If you have an underpowered PC.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 We should reach our high temperature in the mid to upper 50's today before noon and then see temps fall into the 20's by later this evening. We have rain now and should see up to 0.25" of additional rain today. Colder with near normal temps in the low 40's tomorrow before back to well above normal by Sunday. Records for today: High 67 (1976) / Low 9 below zero (1979)/ Record daily precipitation and snow 1.84" of water equivalent and 18.4" of snow part of a 2 day storm total of 18.9" from way back in 1900. This was the 18th largest snowstorm in County history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the few times i didn't go to work. I lived on a dead end and my street was not important. I was able to actually enjoy the snow with my daughter. It took about 6 beers, whoops.......... i mean hours to clean my long driveway. At some point Monday night it snowed again 4" more and i missed the 2nd day of work as i was still not plowed out. Maybe this is why i remember it as i had 2 days to enjoy it and not worry about the snow removal at work. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
