  1. Streamers are showing up well moving SE through Dauphin, Cumberland, York, and Adams counties. Ain't nothing showing up in my neck of the woods. Just sunny skies. :(
  2. Yes. There are plenty enough good reasons to be mindful of that window...whether or not we get a flush hit and what color the flush is TBD.
  3. I wonder if that's a representation of the highest total from each county? I know in Lancaster the highest officially reported was 6.5". Anyway, interesting to read! Edit: I know there were reports of higher amounts from counties adjacent to mine...
  4. People here at work are amazed at how I dress...I don't own a sweater, I have one long-sleeve shirt that I've worn once this winter season. (and that was to appease my wife) Back during the brutal cold snap at the end of January I wore a polo and a light jacket to work. Never a hat, never gloves...no need. I am the polar opposite of @Voyager I embrace deep winter! (Could be in part because my parents lived in Alaska...)
  5. Good stuff @Blizzard of 93! I'm lagging a a decent amount behind MDT this season at 35.5" which hasn't happened much in recent memory. Looks like I briefly dropped to 13 early this morning, was sitting at 16 when I left for work. Rising sun, deep blue skies, and snow cover made for just an incredibly beautiful drive to work.
  6. @Jns2183 great, interesting data you posted. Interesting, the 2 big March storms the past 2 years were reversed down here. I got 13.2" in 2017 and 17" on the button on 3/22/2018.
  7. We need that to come after dark otherwise it will be the proverbial snow TV, especially with light rates.
  8. One sign that winter is about done...there hasn't been a single post in the MD/VA forum (any thread) in over 30 minutes. Depressing...
  9. I guess I'm odd. (okay...let that one ride please) I'm 53 and embrace the cold more and more with each passing year. Autumn is good for PSU football and the inevitable march into cold and snow.
  10. I got razzed this morning for telling my team how many days are left until the summer solstice and the march down to shorter days and winter!
  11. Great post...couldn't have said it better. Unrealistic expectations run rampant on these boards. (not necessarily in our sub) Chances might be no better than 50/50 but it beats days of endless summer, right @Voyager ?
  12. Yes...and like @daxx said yesterday to me our next legit and perhaps final chance is after 3/16.
  13. By the way...other than my "Day In the Life Of..." thread, this was the first one I've ever started. Most of us have had 3 or 4 snow events in the first 10-11 days since I started it. I'm collecting donations for starting future threads during the winter.
  14. There are advisories in the area for people to use extreme caution when pulling out from intersections because it's pretty much driving through open air tunnels right now. Snow banks on the road sides are now over 25' in spots. How in the world do they even get it that high?
  15. Yep, some wild swings just outside of Maytown. Donegal Springs road heading towards Mount Joy will often be as much as 10 degrees colder than I am on clear and calm nights with snow cover.
  16. What's remarkable is that the Sierra got off to a horrific start to the season. Back on Thanksgiving, 11/22, we had 7" for season, Mammoth had 0". They've had over 600" in 102 days. And it's dumping now...
  17. Morning low temperatures across eastern York, southern Dauphin and Lancaster county. Included is @pasnownut 12 near Akron and my 17 south of Elizabethtown.
  18. Mammoth Mountain in the Sierra is expected to receive 2' to 3' of snow today and tomorrow...no biggie when they're over 600" for season, right? I find it amusing that with that amount of snow coming, all that warrants up there is a Winter Weather Advisory. We get a WWA for 2 to 3 INCHES.
  19. It's the kind of setup for temperature extremes... I had 17 at home. My 12 mile drive to work saw the temp fluctuate between 12 and 21 degrees. Snowpack in my yard ranges from 3" up to 7" with bare ground surrounding trees.
  20. Count me in as a NAM fan. One thing I've noticed over the years is it seems to sniff out southern storms coming north first. If other guidance is a whiff south but the NAM is consistently north, a lot of times it leads the way. Caveat: I am only speaking about true southern stream, "Miller A" storms.
  21. 17" last year on 3/22/2018. Just saying. I'd be more than a little surprised if we're done yet.
  22. This is all so, so true... Do models take into account situations like yesterday when we had 3+ hours of light to moderate snow with NO accumulation? I was thinking about that this morning...how much would we have gotten if the storm would have moved in at 6pm and snowed until 6am this morning? Honestly, truly i probably lost at least 2" yesterday afternoon to "white rain."
  23. I'll be happy with some cloud cover to keep the sun at bay for a while...
