Festus Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 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." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Low of 14 and .1" of additional snizzle brings the storm total to 8.8". It's also snowing here very lightly at the moment so that's neat ha. Melting down the gauge and will report back later. Really looking forward to clearing the driveway sigh. Here's to keeping a keen eye on next weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted 19 minutes ago Share Posted 19 minutes ago After yesterday's 11th winter event of the season which totaled 12.8" of sleet/snow here in East Nantmeal we are at 230% of normal snowfall at 34.1". This is about 96% of our annual average snowfall. Today will be the "warmest" day of the week with temperatures hopefully making it up into the low to mid 20's. For the rest of the week temperatures will likely remain in the mid to upper teens for highs and lows near or below zero for much of the area. In fact, here in EN the NWS has a forecast low of 5 below zero on Thursday morning - in my 23 years at this location I have never recorded a temperature that cold. After some flurries today we look dry for the rest of the work week. Some models are hinting and our 12th winter event of the season next weekend....but we don't shovel or scrape model snow.
