Itstrainingtime

I was a 18, senior in high school and glad that the storm came on Friday so that I only missed one day of school. I wasn't trying to graduate in July so Friday storms were a huge bonus. I got 5" of snow in one hour between 4pm and 5pm that Friday. 12" in 3 hours. Lightning, thunder...the 3 hour period from 3pm to 6pm that day was the best 3 hours of snow I've experienced in ANY storm in my life. Not often does a foot fall around here in the time it takes to play an NFL game.

You have every right to do that.

I would never punt that early, though by then I'm conceding that the best time for snow (my opinion) has slipped away.

We had 2' on 2/12/83. Amazing storm!

To be 100% clear, I am in no way punting winter. That's plain foolishness to do in November! My point was that signs indicate a sub-standard season in the snow department. If anyone is expecting a banner winter they might want to lower expectations a little.

I was going to post something similar- I think expectations might need to be adjusted or some are going to be left feeling quite frustrated. I agree with what Blizz said last night- it might not be much but it's nice seeing flakes flying on multiple days in this little stretch.

Light snow falling here. Pretty to watch.

No. Bubbler's PBP today is simply the models starting to latch on to the pattern that exists. Pattern will drive our weather, not the models.

Meanwhile...nice little snow shower is here now.

I dropped to 31.3 at the "height" of the snow, but quickly rose above freezing as soon as it moved on. All snow was gone here this morning by 9am.

Had a solid coating of snow last night. Too lazy to try and accurately measure but the ground was white. High today was just 40 here, currently sitting right at 32.

We're certainly in a pattern where we are susceptible to warm ups.

I think at least some reach 62-63 or so.

Sunny and 47. Just back from a walk and was comfortable in a tee and shorts.

#fringed. Need that blob of blue over VA at this point.

We are! Mediocrity State! I like Franklin, I really do. I think he brings a lot of very good things to PSU. Just not convinced he's a top level gameday coach.

@paweather So...the MU Weather Director is saying "there's a chance" (even if it's not a good one) The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which I discussed in detail last week, is likely to reach its peak negative value on Nov. 26 or 27 and not go back into its positive phase until Dec. 1 or 2. The blocking high pressure system across the North Atlantic will actually retrograde briefly westward and become centered over or just to the south of Greenland before shifting eastward again by the final day or two of the month. At the same time, the jet stream will bulge northward across the western U.S. and southwestern Canada and dip southward across the East. This jet stream reconfiguration will result in the coldest, 4-6 day stretch of weather we've seen since February.. and I'd be willing to bet that temperatures average some 5-10 degrees below normal over the last 5 days of the month. We typically experience highs in the 30s to low 40s and lows in the 20s to around 30 in late November when the large-scale weather pattern takes on this configuration, and I see no exception this time. I'll end things by mentioning that I do see the possibility of a potential brush with wintry weather around the 28th or 29th of November. It's very typical to get light snowfall in La Nina winters from weak, fast-moving disturbances (deemed "Alberta Clippers") that race southeastward out of Canada, zip through the Midwest and end up reaching the East Coast within 24-48 hours. The large-scale weather pattern that lends itself to these types of systems is nearly identical to the one that should unfold over the last 5 days of the month. However, snowfall typically only occurs in a ~ 50-150 mile-wide band along and to the north of a clipper system's track, so it'll require a near-perfect storm track and overnight timing for any snow to occur in LanCo. It's definitely something I'll be keeping a close eye on this week since some guidance suggests this outcome, but the chance of receiving our first measurable snowfall before December is still only around 20%

I mowed yesterday afternoon. After being in Pittsburgh and then down and out with the flu, I was surprised how green and vibrant my yard was given the number of freezes this season. I thought I was finished for the season (minus the day before snow mow) but we'll see what happens.

27 here this morning. Tonight should be the coldest night of the season so far.

I'm asking, I honestly have no idea - does the Farmer's Almanac ever call for a non-snowy winter?

Is it me or are WHTM and WGAL pretty much opposite each other? WHTM - cold early, WGAL - cold late.

Always, pal.

Believe me, we know.

Bubbler has this fun, down to earth persona going on until a winter storm looms. Then he suddenly gets very selfish.

In honor of WGAL's winter forecast tonight, I got a sneak peek and here' what they're going to say: (winter snow totals) Rouzerville: 37" Cashtown: 38.68321" Canderson: 29" with lots of drifting from strong winds Carlisle: 34" on 3.0002 QPF Summerdale: 31" and a 6 pack Marysville: 31", but with an included bonus snow map for November 2022 Palmyra: 31.5" with disappointment because the Euro promised 62" Maytown: 25" Nutstown: 27" Superstorm: 23" with 1" of ice
