It was a wild ride a short time ago crossing the river on the turnpike. Held on for dear life.

Side note. I thought I made a post about 1:30pm concerning the snow and my employment, but I don't see it. Maybe I forgot to hit reply?

I don't know. Hope it wasn't deleted for some reason.

Funny you say that, as I’ve been having trouble lately with posts going through. I’ll hit submit and nothing shows up on the forum, and then I have to retype the entire post. Bizarre.

0z GFS is amped & has a snow to mix to rain then back to a little snow at the end this run for southern PA.

I-80 on north does well this run.

DT is optimistic about this winter.

6z GFS delivered a good thump of snow, with most of us staying snow for a good portion of the potential Tuesday event below mixing to ice or rain.

6z GFS snow map for just the Tuesday chance.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hopefully this storm trends in the right direction today as we feast and then continues looking good as we enjoy the leftovers this weekend!

The good thing about the Tuesday event is that I won't be working and in the truck. The bad thing is that it may cancel a long awaited dermatologist appointment I had made way back in July. They were booked solid until December when I set it up.

The 6z Euro is looking good for Tuesday’s chance, especially back near I-81 to the west & north.

CTP is starting to mention the Tuesday chance.

.SYNOPSIS...
* Gusty west to northwest winds and much colder temperatures to
  end the week
* Lake effect snow will result in significant Thanksgiving
  holiday travel disruptions across northwest Pennsylvania
* Scattered snow showers and a few squalls will impact the
  weather across the Central Mtns, Laurel Highlands and possibly
  the Middle Susquehanna Valley Thanksgiving Day into Friday
* A few periods of snow (Northern PA) and snow/or a wintry mix
  (Southern PA) late Saturday Night and Sunday
* A more significant/widespread winter storm possible Tuesday
  and Tuesday night

Starting to read about a second significant disruption of the PV in late December. 

Could this be a wall-to-wall winter?

Low of 39 with .1” of rain. Thankful for this crazy group of weather freaks. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

When was the last time it snowed in Central Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving?

To find the last measurable snowfall, we have to go back over 35 years. According to the National Weather Service out of State College, the last measurable snow in the Harrisburg region occurred on Thanksgiving 1989 when 1.2 inches of snow fell.

The maximum snowfall the Harrisburg area received on Thanksgiving in the last 50 years occurred in 1971. That was when 2.8 inches fell on Thanksgiving. That same year also set a record with the most snow on the ground during Thanksgiving, which was six inches.

Just saw a few flurries floating around here in Tamaqua.

It feels really cold and raw today, too.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! With the passage of last night’s cold front, we will now see a sustained period of colder than normal temperatures. Of note November will finish as another below normal temperature month. This will be the 3rd below average temperature month over the last 4 months with only September finishing with above average temperatures. Today looks mostly cloudy and breezy with the sun returning tomorrow and Saturday. Rain arrives by Sunday afternoon and ends in the evening. We then see a chance of snow arriving by Tuesday morning before it is likely to turn to rain from south to north during the day Tuesday.
