Itstrainingtime

Lancaster (MU) has already eclipsed their record high for today by 4 degrees at 12:30pm.

Way behind me - I'm at 81.

Admittedly, I don't know much about them or their migration tendencies...what I do know is that it's not even noon and my temp is now in the 80s. This truly is a day almost similar to mid-late summer.

9:10am on November 6th and it's 70 degrees. That's already a double digit AN departure and we're just getting started.

Only managed to get down to 63 overnight. First steps outside this morning confirmed it's late August. Wondering why the foliage looks the way it does. I'm with you @Mount Joy Snowman - if it's going to be this warm, might as well put it in the record books.

That still seems very impressive given the sun angle.

MU going for a record-smashing 82 locally tomorrow.

Stay focused on pissing people off because a career in comedy isn't happening.

For sure - I think it's almost a foregone conclusion that there will be days in late January through February time frame that are in the 70s.

I can all but guarantee you that you will NOT have a heat advisory this winter. (12/1 - 2/28) But that doesn't diminish the obvious trolling you love to do. Why is it such a thrill for you to piss so many people off? I honestly don't understand that.

Yeppers, when it's well AN as often as it is these days, when we do have cold fronts they often simply drop temps to near normal.

(1/3) Here you go, snow fans! The moment you've been waiting for has arrived: my 2024-2025 Winter Outlook! Two primary winter-season influences will be our first-year, weak La Niña & strongly-negative Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).. 2/3) The #PolarVortex should also be stronger than last winter, frequently keeping Arctic air "locked up" in Canada/Alaska & limiting high-latitude (NAO/AO) blocking from Dec-Feb. However, analogs suggest the coldest/snowiest part of winter could be right around the holidays.. (3/3) Despite a lack of snow & predominance of mild air this winter, odds of a #WhiteChristmas may be the highest in years. From Dec-Feb, aggregate temps should be above normal (+2-4°F) with snowfall well below avg (10-20"). I expect "all-rain" & "changeover" events to be common.

I'm glad that I did what I did - left the polling place at 7:03am and was in the office by 7:30am. When I left there were nearly 200 people in line. And my precinct isn't that big.

Got to my polling place at 5:45am. 7 minutes to go. I'm 11th in line.

Lancaster County focus but he forecasts for the LSV and northern MD.

MU released his Winter Outlook. A few notes: 1) Temps will average +2 to +4 2) Well below snowfall (10" to perhaps 20") 3) Best chance of snow and cold should be right around the holidays - "best chance for a white Christmas in years" (our winter might peak between 12/20 and 1/10) 4) Many mild spells with just a couple of cold shots 5) Reduced chances of a major snowstorm

Despite starting 8 degrees lower than you, I've come back to match your 60.

No. At age 59, the prep and aftermath take much longer.

15 minutes is my standard answer for a lot of things...

.02" for me. I don't ever recall a month like October. I don't have 59 years of records but it can't get much drier than 0.02".

I understand better the nuances that drive the temp variations, having said that, I don't recall this many times in the past when my temp was significantly lower than yours. It's happened more than once over the past few weeks. It used to be a given that you would be colder.

32 in Maytown for the low. Triple 3s currently at 33.3.

True enough.

I start screaming obscenities every time this comes up. I'm sort of serious.
