Itstrainingtime

Thank you SO much! I have been searching online for weeks and kind of stunned that I hadn't found anything about it. Appreciate it!

Does anyone remember the date, or at least the year that the central part of Lancaster county got that freak 1' inverted trough/snow squall maybe 12ish years ago? I have no record since I got no snow...but there was a night when the area from Lititz down through Manheim Twp area got up to 12" of snow while the rest of the county was partly cloudy. I do know that some models were indicating something was going to happen but I think it was modeled to happen a bit further east of us. At any rate, I remember getting a call early the following morning from a colleague asking if I was going to go into the office...keep in mind that I had nothing beyond a partly cloudy, cold night. When he told me that he had a foot of snow overnight...I thought he was up to some dark, twisted form of tomfoolery. I was not amused. I was even less amused when I found out it actually happened.

.02" here in Maytown.

FWIW - MU is mentioning showers late tonight and early tomorrow. CTP still says showers ending by late tonight.

What I read was a few scattered showers early and they were dissipating.

I hope you're right and I hope you do. CTP's just update AFD all but removed rain for any of us.

No place in the world better to read up on this than New York's Hometown Paper! https://nypost.com/2023/07/18/delta-passengers-pass-out-waiting-for-takeoff-in-las-vegas-during-heat-wave/

Same conditions but 82 here.

Saturday was dumb luck or whatever you want to call it - there was plenty of moisture around but we just couldn't score. Sunday never felt like it was our day - from very early on, it seemed...obvious that it was going to be a far eastern PA event. CTP "admitted' they extended the watch for continuity and allowed for any storm that did form/hit could have contained a torrential downpour. If they hadn't issued the watch on Saturday I highly doubt one would have been issued for Sunday alone.

I've received .03" over the past 3 days of flash flood watches and heavy rain predictions. I did very well prior to those forecasts.

As the forst melts the ground becomes saturdated.

Correct. One thing I've learned about people working with them on a daily basis is that there are a lot out there that don't care what others think of them. I can't relate to that. Not saying it's right or wrong but I'm just not cut that way.

I can.

I wonder if DT realizes that when he makes posts like that, he's actually turning more people off to him than what he's intending...

A ways out there, but right now the timing of the upcoming refreshing air mass looks to sync perfectly with the weekend.

No rain in Maytown yesterday. Others need it much more than I do.

That is so true.

Looks like my lowest dew today at home was 66 and that was very brief.

Wow - nothing close to that here.

Sad - that's what less than 3" of rain since May will do.

I thought you might have posted a run where it showed less than a tenth of inch of rain for most of us - pretty much spot on.

@Bubbler86 - the formally vaunted European model actually did pretty well with precip this past weekend if I remember correctly?

Perfect! Each of those scenarios sounds really nice... Please...I am begging you...no wishing for Halloween snow this year. Don't jinx another winter!
