Itstrainingtime

I have a Teams call scheduled for 9am. His video outlook comes in right now at 18 minutes...this is putting him to shame!

Followed by pet and home care.

Just to add...only got to 63 down here in Conestoga.

Ding ding! I also reached 68 in Maytown.

It is 65 here currently and rising quickly.

Reminds me of an old Elliott Abrams saying: "No sun" "No warmth" "No...vember"

Had a nice rain shower here at work this morning, now partly sunny. No rain at home today.

The word "cancel" will become a household name. 3-6" with some mix in Dubois, little or no accumulation in Marysville with a cold rain.

Wait...JB is actually going cold? Who'd of thunk that...

IF some of these winter outlooks materialize...there's going to be a lot of tension, frustration, despair, etc., in these threads while snow weenies wait not-so-patiently for the goods to be delivered...

MU released a video to compliment his previously-issued winter outlook. He broke things down even further: For Lanco specifically: December: 1-3" of total snowfall. Temps 3-5 degrees AN. He feels confident that December is a torch January: 7-11" of snowfall. Temps 1-3 degrees AN. This month will regress into a wintertime pattern as the month progresses. February: 12-20" of snowfall. Temps 1-3 degrees BN. He had 7 analog years, which included big storm winters of 1982-83, 2009-10 as well as 2015-16. He did say that another 3 of his 7 analog winters ended up being duds, with 10" or less total seasonal snowfall. It is a risk. There may be only a couple/few pure snow events in Lanco, but the risk is high to pile it up in those events. His late season storm track would suggest that the further east you are, the better come February. (areas west of Lanco figure to do much better earlier in the winter while we enjoy some nice rainfall.)

Here is Doug's map - excuse the wrong year, it was a mistake and this forecast is for this winter:

By the way - there is a met who works in DC that seems to be respected a lot by our neighbors to our south. His name is Doug Kammerer, and he made a lot of headlines last year when he issued his seasonal forecast for DC that was for 1-6" of total snowfall. People were mocking him for his "ridiculous" forecast...well, he nailed it. Someone posted his 2023-24 snow map earlier this week - he has our area in his 38-52" range. MA peeps said that when he was delivering his winter outlook, he was very excited...and apparently that's not the norm for him. He's all in on a snowy winter for all of us.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing. This is the first "official" winter forecast that I've seen that is going BN for temps. A lot of thought out there that December will torch, January will start warm and cool later (still ending up AN) followed by a BN February.

If your calendar includes 2024, I don't see how anything could you stop you from removing the November 2023, December 2023, January and February 2024 pages right now. In a matter of seconds your calendar can read March 2024. That alone might make you feel better.

Just about to 70 at home now - 69.4 to be precise.

I can't help myself - every time I hear or read the words "so bad" I always go back to this moment: (you have to watch the whole thing to understand :))

Enjoy - that sounds amazing right now.

39 this morning in Maytown. Beautiful fall day unfolding.

Also...at noon this coming Saturday, I'll be heading west on the PA Turnpike to the Steel City. You mind dialing up a win in Happy Valley for me?

That's a good 5 degrees higher than me, but not out of line overall it looks like. I feel like I'm often the warmest and I'll gladly concede that honor to you.

Made it to 66 here and has fallen back now to 64.

Sunny and 66.2 at 12:35pm.

I'm the comeback kid!

Morning! 65 here.
