Itstrainingtime

Hey...thanks for the correction! I knew that but honestly forgot. And to clarify, Lancaster hasn't had measurable. Like you, I've been done with snow for weeks, but I'm also a huge fan of anomalous events. Let it snow...

I've never seen snow of any kind in May in my 54 years. I don't recall even being close...this is probably the closest opportunity, one which I still believe is a long shot.

@Bubbler86 It might not have ever hit 80 on Thanksgiving either, but I do remember reaching 70 here on New Year's day. To me snow seems more far fetched on 5/9 than 80 in late November - at least down here we're already over 2 full weeks past the latest recorded snowfall ever.

In Lancaster' record books, 1982 saw 2.5" accumulate on April 20th. Going back to 1926 that stands as the latest official snowfall in Lancaster.

Lancaster has never had a recorded snowfall in May.

Depends on location. The odds of you and me seeing 80 on Turkey Day have to be way better than seeing snow on May 9th. I don't think I'll be anywhere close to seeing snow this weekend but if it does it's going in the history books.

Just some VERY light on and off rain here today...I've yet to reach .1"

I saw on Twitter that snow was falling in St. Marys and Ridgway as well.

Yes, long range models have us flipping to a more sustained warmer look on or around 5/15. At that point it looks to me like most if not all of the cold air will have finally been displaced until sometime later this fall.

This.

Wow...truly anomalous weather.

The man who speaks my language: E. Horst, MUWIC@MUweather I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but after today, we've got a 10-day spell of colder-than-normal conditions on tap. How rude: After yesterday's high of 80...Wednesday will bring cold rain w/ temps holding mainly in the 40s! Dare I point out that some PA mtns might see snow?

Best thing about the next 7-10 days is we have almost a zero chance of severe weather as we enter the peak season for such events.

I was hoping you would post because I was wondering how much rain you were getting. That's impressive that far north!

Fortunately, most of us are missing a sneaky but solid rain producer JUST to our south this evening. 1-2 inches of rain would have presented some issues with how high the main stem Susquehanna is still running.

I hit 80 on the button. Now 79.4 outside, 65 inside as the AC continues to run until at least November.

My temp has come down a few notches. Now at 73/54

75.2 here already...making a run for 80 today.

I was stunned when I saw the tweet on CTP's home page this morning - and then I was even more stunned as to why they posted a map that began well into the event. I got nothing as to why, even with that said, the data is inaccurate.

The above map was for rainfall from 9am yesterday through 9am this morning. For those west of the Suskie everything you had before 9am isn't included. That's why you're seeing the heavier amounts further east.

There was a front page article in yesterday's Lancaster newspaper specific to golf - sounded like the local courses were full for the entire weekend.

And for some...longer.

Pretty darn nice day today! A little unexpected but with a decent amount of sun I'm already up to 65. It's beautiful out!

There has been a long running misunderstanding regarding Lancaster's observations and recordings. CTP uses airport terminals for a lot of it's measurements (MDT is Harrisburg's "official" station) but in Lancaster, my understanding is that the official records are kept at MU and not at the Lancaster airport. MU recorded 2.06" which is what i went with. There was quite a west/east gradient in our home turf yesterday with eastern locales barely eclipsing 1" while areas out west here approached 3" and a bit above. Edit: I fully disclose that I might not understand the official recording areas correctly at all.

2.42" here. @pasnownut Lancaster finished at 2.06". So close...:)
