Not sure anyone missed it....but some of us looked at Ens guidance leading up to Christmas week, and it appears that we have a notable warmish stretch to endure with troughing out west and ridging here in the east. AO/NAO trending + is not a net + for us easters. Not pooh poohin at all, but just managing expectations till the signs start getting notably better for a good period. PNA looks to head twds + and that could set the table for the Christmas week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomixwx Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Just as long as we don't have another 34°F to 7°F drop with a flash freeze within an hour on December 22nd followed by subzero daytime highs for a week during Christmas like last year.

Yeah anywhere downwind of the lakes, can be quite cloudy during cooler periods when winds are outta the W/NW. We see it at the cabin as well (maybe not as pronounced mind you) - but its no joke. While I love those episodes, i could understand the mental wear n tear it may have one ones well being if I lived there. whatchu end up w/ from this recent event?

It really is quite a different world in just a few miles here. I grew up in the lower end of Huntingdon county, which is mostly valley similar to the Cumberland and lower Susquehanna valleys, and then spent over ten years on both sides of the Susquehanna before moving up here and I bet the number of days with sun is different here from there by more than a months worth. I looked at the ten day last week and saw the forecast, keep in mind we all know weather here to a pretty good amount, but I still look at the ten day every day and thought "the sun is going on vacation," and immediately went into seasonal sadness. Snow only helps. Lack of snow or god forbid, mud, and it really destroys me. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that we get plenty of sun here on a yearly basis. When the weather is boring, it's easy to get annoyed. As an avid winter lover, I remember many sunny, windy days of looking to the skies NW of Lancaster and watching the puffy lake effect clouds evaporate into thin air. I am the opposite of most people, and hated the weather in Lancaster. So hot in the summer and mundane, blustery days in the winter. 31 minutes ago, Atomixwx said: I hate how little sunshine I see up here. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk Yeah, the winters in Clearfield county are quite similar as far as cloudiness.

People get absolutely miserable here. Snow helps to brighten everything up and it used to be very common in the Great Lakes region. Lately........... Are you asking about last week's event? I got about 4 to 5 inches of snow that hung around a couple days before the weekend warmup.

Yeah, most of the people I know from DuBois who move go to Lancaster. I did the opposite. I had never experienced what it was like to have doors freeze shut during the day or have to brush snow off the car multiple times in one day until moving up there. The summers were glorious as well, with MUCH less humidity than Lancaster. Although, I've noticed even the mountains are now getting 90 degree days with whatever this new climate is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
