Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs

[Blizzard of 93]

18z Euro also showed a dusting overnight for many of us.

[Blizzard of 93]

Maybe yet another surprise dusting is on the way tonight?

[Ruin]

nothing happenend with it even tho I was under it for 4 hours temps went from 19 too 24 still cloudy 

[pawatch]

18 degrees this morning, was ll degrees when I went to bed last night.

Dusting but it seems mostly on cars, road isn’t covered at all.

[mahantango#1]

[Voyager]

Yup. Dusting here as well.

Happy New Year all! I don’t know what happened but I guess something did since I was off posting for a long time now feeling grateful. I have known @Bubbler86since the Marcus days and maybe before AOL? We only know each other from these forums. I 100% respect him and don’t want to know want happened. That said I 100% respect training and appreciate his postings with others whom post with this hobby. That is what it is a hobby for most of us. We can always agree to disagree, now back to the weather.

As I had mentioned yesterday some models were hinting at some snow showers overnight and we did indeed see some overnight which as many have mentioned recoated drives across the area. Here in East Nantmeal we picked up 0.3" of snow. We continue with well below normal temperatures through Monday but then see a nice warmup with temperatures trending well above normal for much of next week. Overall the next week or so looks dry with maybe a snow shower chance Saturday night.

Not liking this cold and snow in Europe. Tends to get stuck over there for a while.

Usually trough in Europe & trough near Japan corresponds with a trough in the eastern US, but there is usually a brief lag.

Very boring weather in thr first 3 weeks of January it looks like to me. We need a wind break for sure, though. 

50s seem very possible next week to kick off the Farm Show.

Maybe the first 10 days or so are boring with a brief warm up for around 5 days.

The 12z Canadian has the trough in the east again by the 11th with a light snow chance this run.

[Blizzard of 93]

12z Canadian ends on day 10 with widespread cold.

[Festus]

My annual tradition of noting tomorrow is Perihelion day - the Earth is closest to the sun officially at 12:15 EST.  And as a double bonus, tomorrow is also a supermoon (full moon while the moon is at or near perigee).  This combo won't happen again until 2045.  So when that time rolls around, be sure to tell your kids (or grandkids, or great-grandkids, or anyone who will listen) that you were there in 2026 and it was a rollicking event.

The 12z EPS & 12z Canadian ensemble in the day 10 to 15 period look very workable to me.

I have no interest in freezing the orange groves while we have below zero temps.

Last year a frigid 2 weeks in late January gave us “congrats Carolinas” & “congrats Gulf coast” when they snowed while we froze.

I think many of us would welcome a pattern of just cold enough with chances to score snow. 
Bring on some moisture laden storms & let the chips fall during prime snow climo season.

Still crunching the annual climate numbers for the other Chesco stations but at least here in East Nantmeal our average temperature for 2025 was 52.4 degrees this is the 5th coldest year in my 22 years at this location and the coldest since the 51.7 in 2013.

The 12z AI Euro & AI GEFS also show a very workable look in the day 10 to 15 period.
