I like it.  The models certainly agree.  My temp is down to 55 as we approach the lunch hour, impressive. 

Ha, I came here specfically to post that my temp is down to a glorious 53 degrees. I finished with 0.21" of rainfall yesterday and am sitting at 0.19" so far today with rain falling.

Haha, it might be because people are still below the 40th percentile for ytd rainfall. Honestly unless we get area wide coverage of 25" from now till end of August I'd expect this map will be there the entire summer. Add in the fact that many have not had an above normal season in 3-4 years I'd be more worried if the map showed nothing.

when I had the landscaping crew putting in the trees they did a test and the moisture in the ground was like 46%-48%

It’s ridiculous that I need to have heat on in the house this Memorial Day weekend, but here we are…

You should try to hold out as long as you can without turning on the heat. If your turning on the heat, you posting snow accumulation maps can't be to far behind.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Unfortunately weather wise it will be wet and almost record cold especially tomorrow afternoon. Most models now keep temperatures below 50 degrees tomorrow afternoon - this would break the Chester County record for low maximum temperatures for the date set back in 1982. There is a chance it could be the coldest late season high temperature on record. With gusty winds it will feel a lot more like early March than Memorial Day Weekend. Rain-wise models show between an inch to as much as 3.5" of much needed rain!

Just fired my coal stove up hopefully one last time this spring.

70 is lot more comfortable in the house than 58. Cool and rainy weekend ahead I’m not being cold. Coal is paid for, not costing me nothing.

Seen last week a coal company in Schuylkill county said they are raising. prices $20.00 a ton for all coal sizes i think starting next week. Because of fuel prices to operate the equipment and trucking costs. And they said if fuel prices don't drop till near fall they will have raise them again. They were giving a heads up for people to get coal now.

RECORD-SETTING TEMPERATURES TODAY
The good news is, we can only go up from here. 
Much of central & eastern PA could see their coldest high temperatures on record today, May 23rd. Southeast winds, low clouds, and steady rain will keep temperatures 20-25°F BELOW average.
May be an image of map and text that says '62 63 HIGH TEMPERATURE 71 64 66 60 64 62 64 62 56 ジ 4958 49 58 50 56 68 66 73 71 63 75 50 40 30 25 20 16 13 Departure from -20 Average 25 -30 -40 -50 (°F) 80 นะรธ์ nORR 74 WEATHER 59 1 77 67 62 77 81'

Another .33” of precip, which brings me to a total of exactly one inch over the last three days. Let’s see how much we can pile on through the holiday weekend. Current temp of 49 is the low. Sure seems like MDT’s min max record of 54 is going down. 
 

Edit: Perhaps not, as it seems MDT’s temp was stuck right around 54 for hours around midnight. We’ll have to see how things round off but record seems safe. Damn midnight highs.
