Mount Joy Snowman

Low of 40 with a brutal couple of days on tap. Big transition day today. Going to feel like mid winter out there from tonight through Monday.

I get that everybody dials back a bit once winter comes to an end but really hope you two stick around. Board would suffer a huge loss without yinz. As long as everyone sticks to keeping the nonsense to the "red banner" thread, as directed, we should be fine here. Big ask, I know ha.

Back to weather, there seems to be a strong consensus around the following pattern: A couple-day cold blast late this weekend, followed by a mid-week soaker (yes I know we've been burned by these a lot recently but this one seems like it might pack a bit more punch), and then another cold blast to end the week through next weekend (just in time for the PIAA state wrestling championships in Hershey, swear it's always cold for that). I would also say the chances of any type of final mid-month winter storm seem to be diminishing, although too far to completely rule anything out. Looks like a classic March ahead to me.......up and down, up and down. Onward.

Low of 39 with .03" of rain. Always great to be greeted with the red banner as we head into the weekend haha.

Low of only 42 here with just a couple hundredths of an inch at most.

Keep digging Saus, you'll find it in there somewhere! For some reason I thought it was on a more obscure forum but when Blizz said he (he being UTS) was on the old Accuweather forums that's when it clicked, as I used to frequent those prior to coming here. Nowadays, this is the only forum I visit, and it's been that way for many years. Weather forums are like women, I can't manage one, much less two ha.

Haha yes that's him. I remember that avatar as well. I don't recall getting any type of confirmation but I could be wrong. I think you mentioned something vaguely about him posting in some forums but not sure. In any case, I can finally let this rest ha.

A big ‘ol Trace of rain yesterday and 34 when I left the house this morning but hit 27 on car therm through the rurals.

Yes, that’s him! Thank you Blizz! I only lurked there, didn’t post. I think he had a Rockville address and lived up on Blue Mountain with decent elevation (~1,000’). Man that’s a trip down memory lane. I’m just glad someone could finally confirm my half-baked recollections ha.

Yes, and I am still looking for someone to confirm the existence of a poster named UndertakersSon (went by UTS) from some far-flung weather board from many moons ago

Some of you may be wondering if we can complete the winter sweep, with Dec Jan and Feb all coming in below normal? With that in mind, I got out the MJS crystal ball and it says, yes indeed we will pull off the trifecta, but not by much. The final average monthly temp for February will come in at 32.6, good for almost a one-degree BN departure and middle of the pack all-time. Book it. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Glad to hear sledding was good. Sounds like a rock-solid base up there. As for tracking, yeah things become even that much more thread-the-needle-ish as we move towards the equinox. We'll need things to line up just right but I see some signs of a possible board pleaser at some point. Wouldn't say the odds are great ha, but they aren't extinguished either.

Low of 26. Pretty nice week ahead. Seems likely we'll have some storm chances of varying type through mid-March.

If true, that’s unfortunate. Got to be able to laugh at oneself.

Low of 18. Solid seasonable weekend on tap.

Forgot to formally mention that I had .1” of snow yesterday off of .01” liquid. Exhilarating stuff, I know.

Low of 22. Decent transition weekend on tap. Happy Friday, all.

It's been a day of constant on and off snow showers. The last hour a couple of heavier bands rolled through, one of which created whiteout conditions. Definitely .1" going in the books, with the potential for more depending on how the rest of the afternoon plays out. This 500 closed low passage has made for a fun little day.

Heck yeah, have fun pal. My buddy's cabin is looking great. You guys are probably even better yet.

It's a flizzard here and I'll say it again, for the 97th time this season, yet another day that looks and feels like winter.

Low of 12. Looks like most of us should see some flakes flying through the air today. Someone could win out to the tune of an inch. Likely westerners. We shall see.

Haha that's amazing! I wonder who it thinks the bikini-clad beer-drinking girl is? We need her to come around more

None! Clearfield is the county seat of Clearfield Co. One of the great things about memorizing county seats is that so many of them have them same name as the county itself haha.

It's so funny you said this. I was just about to post how MY big claim to fame is being able to fill in all 67 PA counties on a blank map haha. The guys at work didn't believe me and printed out a blank PA map for me to complete right on the spot and I scored a 100. It hangs on my desk wall to this day. I used to know all the county seats too. Now, I'd probably miss a few. So yeah, add me to the list of geography freaks ha. We are a screwed-up bunch.

Here's a new one, Antelope Creek, ND came in with the national low of -45. Who doesn't love Antelope Creek. MDT had an impressive -13 degree departure yesterday.
