Mount Joy Snowman

There are four calendar days in Harrisburg's history that have failed to reach 60: 12/27 (59 in 2016), 1/10 (58 in 2016), 2/2 (59 in 1988), and 2/7 (57 in 2009)

The records for New Year's Day at MDT are the ones to watch -- max of 64 in 2005 and highest minimum of 44 in 1966 -- both within reach.

Haha anytime mate! We are cut from the same cloth.

High and low for the Lower 48 yesterday of 92 at Rio Grande Village, TX and -38 at Chinook, MT, for an impressive national diurnal range of 130 degrees. We live in an amazing country.

I'm still under fog here but visibilities finally climbing towards 1/2 mile. Not a hint of sun thus far. Hmmmmmm was there an overnight shower or something that perhaps I was unaware of and could be skewing my SLR ratio? Remember I use a manual cylinder gauge, not an automated one, so I can't always verify timing of precip without looking at other sources.

I'll do you one better, I recorded .3" snow off of .19" liquid for a SLR of just 1.58 haha. This is almost assuredly the lowest ratio I have ever recorded for what I believe to be an all-snow event. The reason for me is pretty straight forward though, simply that my temp didn't drop below 35 for the duration of the event so the snow had a hard time accumulating. Didn't get the rates needed to overcome a marginal boundary layer. Still pretty amazing to see a ratio that low though. I guess it makes sense in that the people just to my east saw a trace to nothing and the people just to my west got over an inch, so this was the transition zone to paltry totals. Also, just to back up your measurement, someone on Cocorahs who resides near Carlisle reported 1.8" of snow off of .32" liquid, so in the same ballpark as you. Weird little event we had on our hands. This fog just won't quit down here in the valleys today. At peak I was under 1/8 mile visibility.

32/31 here with dense fog. Visibilities well under 1/4 mile at my locale. CTP's SWS talks about this.... ...AREAS OF FREEZING FOG THROUGH MID MORNING... Areas of fog have developed across portions of central Pennsylvania this morning, most notably across the Susquehanna Valley. Temperatures largely in the low to mid 30s have led to some instances of freezing fog. Motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination this morning.

How 'bout it!? Yeah I should have waited, looks like another 1+ foot for them on the way. Same, didn't notice any mixing by the time things dried up.

Meanwhile, out at Mammoth Mountain...... 11:00 AM Update: Due to extreme snowfall rates, no visibility, high winds and recent temporary power outages we are suspending operations for the day out of Main Lodge. It's been dumping all morning! This latest round of storms has dropped 3+ feet and counting, bringing our December snowfall to over 12 feet at Main Lodge! Avalanche mitigation work is taking place across the mountain this morning as our team works to keep up with heavy snowfall. Currently the lower-mountain lifts out of Eagle and Canyon Lodge are open. We are working to expand terrain as conditions allow. With a layer of blower snow on top, it's going to be a good time in the white room! Check the lift status page for real time operating information. Weather holds and closures are in place for the safety of our guests and employees – please adhere to ALL closures. Avalanche Danger is very high after all this new snow. The snow is very DEEP and light out there now. Snow Immersion Suffocation (SIS) danger is a reality during heavy snowfall periods like this. Ski and ride with a buddy and keep your buddy in sight at all times. Let it snow!

Things about wrapped up here and it looks like I'll finish with .3". Snow had a hard time piling up with my temp never dropping much below 35. Elevation is so key is these marginal type events, and well, I just ain't got it. Still nice to see the white. Onward.

Yep. Visibility dropping to ~1/4 mile or so.

Solid flakes falling here in western Lancaster County.

Exactly what I'm hoping for. Not a ton of support for it but it's on the doorstep and returns look fairly healthy. Fingers crossed but glad some people out your way got to cash in.

Oh wow, one might call that an over-performer, eh?

A low of 39 and .36” of rain. The search for snow continues but seems to be progressing, if ever so slightly.

Topped out at only 51 here today.

A low of 41 here. Up early with the little guy. It appears Santa found time to stop in Farmdale. Hoping some snow is in our future. Merry Xmas to all!

Fact check: True.

Last year, I got 2.6" of rain on Xmas Eve that washed away my entire snowpack, and then recorded a trace of snow on Xmas day.

Bottomed out at 23 last night. THV hit 20, MDT only 28. Good 'ol Mount Washington came in with the national low at -11.

Long live the Black Knights! Although I was a Donegal Indian until 4th grade, so a soft spot there as well.

As you should be! It was all in jest. Besides, she went to Manheim Township, booooooooo!

Penn Manure, as my wife's mom says they used to call it.

I was not, wife had already gotten up with the baby so I missed my chance.

Yeah you must have been more clear than me, deep fog down here in the valley, which has now finally cleared out. I believe you have roughly 100' of elevation on me. National high temp yesterday was a rather modest 81 at four different spots in Florida. National low was -16 near Mission Creek, MN.
