Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs

[Festus]

Looking at the 0Z GFS, there's actually a shot we don't get above freezing for the entire run.  The last time we were above freezing here was Friday the 23rd.  So if true, that would realize a stretch of 24 consecutive days below freezing obliterating the previous record of 15 straight days.  We better have a nice Spring after this!

"The longest consecutive stretches of temperatures remaining below freezing in the Millersville/Lancaster County area are 15-day periods, occurring from Feb. 5–19, 1979, and Jan. 20–Feb. 3, 1961."

CTP is starting to ramp up the language for this weekend’s potential.

KEY MESSAGE 2: Potential East Coastal Storm Threat this weekend

There is a growing guidance signal for the development of a
potentially impactful weekend coastal storm along the Eastern
Seaboard. We will continue to monitor given risk of snow and
wind impacts.

Wondering if any of you have a good storm total for Mount Joy. I’m not there to measure.
