Had 0.4" of snow yesterday which melted down to 0.02". Interesting, yet MDT didn’t get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahantango#1 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Sounds like road up here in upper Dauphin county in the open field areas, where the wind has a unobstructed shot for drifting aren't in good shape this morning. Some are down to one lane with several inches of snow on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's the wind direction today or what but I am barely noticing it unless I'm near one of our west-facing windows. It seemed a good bit gustier earlier this morning.

Voyager Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 We had a little dimming of the lights going on a few minutes ago. That's one of my worries with this wind combined with the cold. Power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 With our 1.3" of snow since yesterday here in EN we are up to 35.4" of snow for the season. This is almost at our average for an entire winter season of 35.5" The extreme cold warning continues until tomorrow at noon. Temperatures have fallen into the single digits across the area and will struggle to get much above 10 degrees with wind gusts as high as 55mph. Lows tonight will be within a couple degrees of zero and highs tomorrow into the mid-teens. We finally see a moderating trend with 4 climate stations across Chester County finally rising above freezing on Tuesday after a record setting 17 days below freezing. We might see some light freezing rain or rain on Wednesday as temperatures rise into the upper 30's. Models still hint at a storm possibility toward next weekend.

SnowPlowGuy88 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Really looking forward to this coming Tuesday-Wednesday. Haven’t fired up the smoker(s) since New Year’s Eve lol. Also, F these winds. Dogs won’t even go out past the patio to do their business. I swear, every year, from about thanksgiving until early March, we do wind better than anyone else in the globe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Wind gusts are slacking down into the 30s. Lancaster hit 53 mph, higher than Harrisburg’s 51 mph today. Climate Prediction Center nailed this wind storm - they had it forecast a full week ahead The week ahead will end up without any person at looks tonight.

My wife can't get in it anymore, and I'm not going to wheel it as I don't have time. I/we need something practical again. So this is what I got. A 2026 GMC Terrain AT4. So far I love it! It's so nice to drive a regular vehicle again. One that rides nice, doesn't get blown around in the wind, and people (especially my wife) can actually get in and out of. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 -1 for the temperature this morning. With supposedly a 48 mph wind gust yesterday. NWS is saying my high yesterday was 27 degrees. Which I’m calling BS. My high was 11 degrees yesterday. Not really sure why there is that big of discrepancy? Voyager nice ride! edit: currently zero degrees.

Stinks because it doesn’t at all tell the story of the day we had but that’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because once that front come through it was all downhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
