Mount Joy Snowman

No but good guess.

So, since it appears we are in for a rather mundane week of weather, I thought we'd play a little game. I have a nice shiny nickel for the person who can tell me what mountain is pictured in my profile pic. Your one and only hint is that it resides in the United States of America. No cheating with whatever high tech image search crap is available haha. Board bragging rights on the line, let's hear it!

Damn, a lot of this post hit home. I still love baseball and will always call it my first love, but not the way I did back in my youth. I didn't travel the way you did but I had a massive card collection and knew every player in the league. Nothing was better than the baseball All Star game or the Fall Classic, and now they seem to be losing more and more steam every year. I know football kind of takes the life out of everything with how dominant it has become but baseball will always be our nation's pastime in my eyes and it's sad what's happening to it.

Low of 13 here but up to 18 now. Should be a pretty pleasant day. Not much on the docket in the days ahead.

Oh yeah don’t I know it. It can be a cruel game watching those streamers dry up over the mountains.

Great post. I also went to Penn State and have friends with a cabin in Julian, just north of Port Matilda. This is all spot on.

Ugh hate to hear that. The wife and I haven’t started this season yet but were really looking forward to it. We’ve been caught up in the Netflix series Peaky Blinders. Real good.

It really is amazing how much different it is when you get up in the plateau region. My official event total: 1.38” rain and a Trace of sleet. Now it is time for whiskey and Penn State wrestling.

Looks like that stubborn warm layer ~800mb across the norther tier that I mentioned yesterday came to fruition, as snow totals up around Tioga/Potter seemed to underperform.

Well what do you know!? Looks like we are going to see a touch of winter out of this after all haha. Last little band pushing through and sure enough it’s a nice moderate to heavy sleet shower.

And yet Hempfield schools let out early today

Yep, been my expectation all along. The signs were pretty clearly pointing towards a non-event down this way.

I finally dropped to 32 around 1pm.

No, seems very high, but it's at least in the northeast part of the state and at elevation so I guess it's possible. Although CTP just put out a PNS and the highest ice accretion was .37" in Cambria County and most were in the .1-.2" range. Edit: @Greensnow beat me to it, looks like they did indeed get hammered up that way.

Love it, draped right over our area. I'm still at 36.

You know what, I'm going to give him a pass on that haha. I think I agree that that is indeed an emergency! Edit: I am a known ice cream lover, so my opinion may be biased here ha.

I'm going to need further detail here haha....

I hit 53 at some point overnight but temps dropping quick now, down to 37. Haven't officially measured precip yet but looks like ~1.1" so far. Perhaps a wee bit of frozen later on but it will be fighting diurnal solar insolation, otherwise a non-event down here, as expected.

Temp off to the races here, up to 51 as I prepare to hit the hay.

Hit 45 here today and have about .65” of rain so far. The last remaining piles of snow are on their final breath.

They don't need it. They got approximately a quadrillion inches at the end of 2021.

Well, it seems as though the hi-res models are universally picking up on a sneaky but persistent warm layer around 800mb that keeps the bulk of the precip falling as sleet for even a large portion of the northern tier (talking deep into Tioga and Potter) for the majority of the event. A lot of lost qpf with this one but the ice threat is real for folks in the central to northern ridge and valley region.

Haha fair enough. I'll change my stance and join you in that hope. Here's to the nothing burger!

A low of 38 here and about .2" of liquid already as we begin our long-duration rain slog. Based on the totality of model guidance and knowing my microclimate (i.e. I sit very low and do very poorly in marginal icing events), I am predicting an absolute nothing burger here. Would be thrilled to see a trace of ice but doubt even that, and as always, I hope to be wrong. Just not our winter thus far down here in the land of Amish. Good luck to those who do get in on some action and especially the northern tier, where they should have one hell of a snowpack after all this.

How ‘bout it ha. Heck, how about least snow in the entire Northeast or Mid-Atlantic. Got to be close to that title eh?
