I'm just wondering if we're going to have surprises in Pa. Around Thanksgiving?

Black Friday may be white for wester/northers.  Wet for rest.  been consistently showing up, but normal caveats apply.

Are you thinking "A December to remember"?

Hi

Actually, I don't know why it posted that way. It was supposed to read "can you guess where I wish I was?"

While a 92 degree difference is impressive, the national (and world) record for 24 hour temperature change IN ONE LOCATION is 103 degrees in Loma, Montana.  Temp went from -54 to 49 on January 14/15 1972.  

Didn't this happen in one minute via a Chinook?

I was up in State College early this morning, and it was a general 1-2” or so up there. A legitimate plowable snowfall in some parts of town and the surrounding area up there. Good thing this didn’t occur a few hours later than it did, as P-Dot was able to get on it before the morning rush. 

Pine Grove Mills a few miles from State College

I'm glad PennDOT was on the ball somewhere because 453 from Water Street to Tyrone was pure, unadulterated ass this morning.

I believe last week we were discussing the lack of beneficial rain. My fear for this winter is us turning into a cold desert.

The Chinook is absolutely correct.  The write up is as follows:

"A downslope chinook wind event pushed the temperature at the town of Loma from -54°F at 9 am on January 14, 1972, to 49°F by 8 am on January 15th. The 103°F (57.2°C) rise is the greatest change in temperature ever officially measured on earth within a 24-hour period."

Can you imagine?  According to AI , the Lancaster daily range record is 57 degrees set on December 23, 2022.
