Itstrainingtime

Very true - 3 consecutive sub freezing days with frozen precip on all 3 of them. Can't remember the last time that happened here.

Can't post on my phone, but what an informative series of tweets from Elliott a few hours ago about the SSWE and the potential affects on our weather in March. In short, he sees potential for a one to two week window for snow at some point between 2/28 and 3/20.

Winter must also be defined by more than just snow. In addition to almost being shutout snow-wise, it has NOT been cold. My lowest temp for the entire month of January was 25 degrees- that is an AN temp for virtually the entire month and that was the coldest morning. Some of our other snowless winters featured some cold weather. Outside of the couple of days around Christmas it's been warm.

Sunny and 43. Nice day outside.

I'm really not trying to be combative with you but for areas of Lancaster that are under 1" - tell me how much worse it can be?

So, our winter really hasn't been that bad because other areas suck more? Again, a lot of regular contributors to this thread are no where near 5" for the season. And some are still under 1".

No - the fact that I've had 3" for the entire met winter season will not be compensated for by a big March. For some of you maybe...this is subjective of course, but a near shutout met winter is a colossal failure in my books. And most of Lanco has received even less than I have. (0.9" officially at MU)

Light rain showers/sprinkles do not want to move out of Lanco - still wet and 47 here at work. Did not expect the wet weather to last nearly this long today.

My sons always enjoyed playing tournaments at the "Pool Field" in Palmyra - they were both lefties and liked to go opposite field over the big wall in left field.

I've done 2 PBP's this winter - the first was an epic run out of nowhere on a 12z GFS run that would have produced feet of snow if it would have materialized...sadly, and predictably, it did not. What I learned was that my PBP's produce a mixture in order of: excitement...hope...and ultimately...despair.

It's 60 here. Also, looks like we might see one more shower with the passage of the actual front.

Sometimes people tell me that I have a quick wit...obviously those people have never met you. How the hell you come up with this stuff on the fly is impressive...

MU tweeted this 2 minutes ago: I won't rule snow out, but there are no significant snowstorm signals for southern/eastern PA through the end of February.

Older...and wiser.

That account helped me remember a little better. I think we must have had some pretty good winds with that as I found a picture with snow drifted over 5' high against our patio door.

I don't think either should be posted. I'm sorry that I mentioned JB's thoughts.

This storm is one of the fuzziest in my mind of all the big ones going back to 1978. I remember it snowing all day Sunday, I remember that it seemed like it was a very long duration event, and I remember that the Hershey Bears had a home game on Sunday night that they decided to play. I think there was only 200 or so at the Giant Center. (I had season tickets at the time and did NOT make the trek up 743 to Chocolatetown, LOL) Sadly, nothing JB says anymore comes as a surprise. Though...I thought it was interesting that he of all people pulled the plug on winter.

Light rain and 58 currently. So far, .42" of rain has fallen for the event, .12" since midnight.

Cue Allen Jackson's "Remember When": 20 years ago today, one of the great snowstorms of all time.. known as the President’s Day Storm of 2003 or PDII.. was bringing blizzard conditions to the mid-Atlantic States. Ranked #6 on the Northeast Snowfall Impact Scale (NESIS), the system dumped 20-30” across southern PA!

Tucson - I saw they had snow yesterday morning. Isn't Tucson like really far south in AZ?

Parking lot lights are on here at work - it is REALLY dark all of the sudden.

MU officially hit 80 on 2/21/2018. One month later...17" of snow fell.

Unfortunately...delayed might soon become denied.

MU Weather Center Showers and some embedded brief, heavier downpours are overspreading the region, and the air is actually unstable enough to support a few lightning strikes to the south/west of Frederick, MD. Is it May or February!?

No one posted the 12z GFS...and for good reason. It's pretty much void of any wintry weather through 3/4. There are several cutters to look forward to, however.
