Yesterday broke Harrisburg’s 19 day run of lows below 20 - that’s the 7th longest streak. Yep, 17 days only came in 17th place but the all-time record is 25 days, so there are a bunch of years in that 15-25 day range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original forecast was 1-3 than 2-4 till it was all set an done i received 18 inches. I think Harrisburg got 24 inches. There was Thunder and lightning during the storm. February 10-12th, 1983: Called the “Megalopolitan blockbuster snowstorm,” this major snowstorm impacted the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England. Snowfall of up to 25 inches fell in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Snowfall of 35 inches occurred in parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia at Glen Cary. Windsor Locks, Connecticut, recorded a record 19 inches in 12 hours. A ship sunk off the Virginia/Maryland coast, killing 33. There were 46 total storm-related fatalities. I remember that storm well, too. I was living in Bethlehem, and we had two consecutive hours of 5" per hour snowfall, which is still the heaviest rate I've seen in my lifetime.

I recorded 5" of snow between 4pm and 5pm along with multiple rounds of lightning and thunder. I was a senior in high school and was worried that I wouldn't graduate until July because of the storm. Fortunately it came on a Friday, so we missed that day but we were back on Monday with a delay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even down here, my forecast on Thursday evening (night before the storm) was for "4 or more inches, with the potential for as much as a foot" - the following day, 24.5" fell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmasterB Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago With the OP Euro being decent and some of the ensembles interested, I think I can emotionally invest in this one. At least until TimB5412487 comes in and tells me the latest model is way south and weak. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Ooof I’m sorry. Glad you’re on the rebound. The cough was ridiculous. I was on brink of tears when I went in. Turns out I had coughed so hard I ended up with a rib fracture. I also never knew morphine was a cough suprresant either.

Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk Knowing you, you've probably already researched it. There's quite interesting history that goes along with opioids and opiates being used as cough suppressants that makes for some good reading while you're down. I've always found the history on opioids and opiates interesting to begin with. From Asia, Nazi Germany to the modern day streets of Kesington, Philadelphia, it has quite the interesting and horrifing history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
