WmsptWx Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Froze to death this morning/early afternoon as a wonderful feature of being here in the higher lands is the sun was out at this morning at 9:15 and 38°F felt nice. By game time at 11:30 (after pictures and a parade) the clouds and wind arrived and 44°F was unbearable. I fucking hate May. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Currently 37 degrees Definitely some unsettled weather. Picked .15.” Of rain Friday. Yesterday cool and windy 24 mph wind gust. I got my coal stove back fired up this weekend. Constant 70 degrees is nice. Smoked a couple of chuck roasts yesterday. Kind of got away from running the smoker over the winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Yeah, I was quite surprised this morning. It's 38 now, but was 41 when I first woke a 4am. Yes, I'm an early bird and can't sleep in even on my days off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just outside and needed my winter coat because in addition to the cold, the wind had to ramp up as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Taking a break from this thread. You all enjoy your complaining. April was a top 10 warmest ever but reading this thread we're in a relentless freezer. Math ain't mathin folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Actually in Lanco it was the 6th warmest April in like 115 years. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Another below normal temperature day on tap today before we see a brief warm up with some valley locations touching 80 degrees by Tuesday before we turn much chillier again by the end of the week. Highs by Thursday through Saturday may struggle to escape the upper 50's. Rain chances increase with a cold front by Tuesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Low of 40. Gardening and golfing today. Had a little shindig at our house last night with an obscene number of kids. Currently surveying the damage ha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need a torch, but I, like most people, don't really want frost and freeze warnings this time of year, nor windy -10+ to -15 daytime departures. Give me 45/65 and I'm quite fine with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 And another thing, and yes, I'm a bit feisty this morning, but what can make this forum unreadable at times isn't the complaining about heat or cold, but the sports (basketball) posts that litter this place up from time to time. Those belong in the banter thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have a backlog of posts attributed to the cool below normal temperatures, cloud filled skies, and gusty cold wind at times we have been experiencing since you jumped ship.

mahantango#1 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 As per 2 of the Harrisburg tv stations said tonight don't get used to the warmer weather coming up the next 2 days. We'll be back to what we just experienced at the end of the week and weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 No way this is accurate we have been the same color since late jan we have had so much rain for a month plus. It's a lot more than rain goes into that. You have to look at absorption vs run off vs evapotranspiration. We have baked all April. I only got about 55% of normal preceiptitation. Go look at the PEMN sites on pa climate website. They have soil moisture at 3-5 different depths. That really tells the story.
