Snow .

Is it snowing in state college? .

If you want I can private message you my cell. Let me know when you’re going down. If I’m not working I’ll introduce you to some people and get a couple Negronis on me. That goes for anyone else here that may want a refreshing cocktail at either cork n fork. I bartend at both of them. Just shoot me a PM. .

Down at the Harrisburg cork and fork we Have begin to barrel age our house Negroni for the next 3 months, just in time for July 4th. South African Honey Bush tea infused Fords London dry Gin, Dolin Rouge Vermouth, Campari and Apertivo Select will sit in a previous 3 year aged Vieux Carré Woodford Reserve soaked barrel. This second use will have some great notes of rye, cognac, juniper, orange. .

77 here .

It must be. Also watch anytime we get storms or a rain band that inches east and the cells flow more north to south. It seems like cells always fire right by you in mount joy or south ahead of the line .

What I don’t get is they tend to be the same people who think everything is use global warming, believe the most extreme predictions, yet think we should average in the 70s by now and bitch about being so cold. .

Man, the last few springs have spoiled people. I’ve spoke with so many who legit think it should be in the 70s as highs .

One reason I brought it up was due to a discovery I made while looking at the historical precipitation data for Harrisburg. For a good number of years the station was located at capital city airport before its move to HIA in I think 1991. Capital city had like a year of no data before it started reporting once more. Straight line the 2 stations are no more than 3 or 4 miles from each other. Despite this proximity capital city had a precipitation total that was less than HIA 29/30 years and I believe it was around 10%. Even when I broke up year into quarters this effect was constant throughout. I’ll have to dig up all the research I did but I came away convinced this was not just random, not instrument or human error, that it clearly involved some microclimate effect. The only one that sense was capital city proximity to some of larger hills like in northern York county. It just shocked me that the effect was that large. .

Was that same area that had those 10”+ rainfall amounts from storms that hit during the summer of record rain a few years ago? It’s always interesting whenever you look at return time for events .

I forget what site has radar archives but if you look at that night there was slow movement of storms in line at beginning and cells in Lancaster were developing ahead and merging in. Some areas seemed to have storms hitting at multiple directions at once. Once these mergers took place the line seemed to increase speed. .

51, cloudy, misty. Why do I get the feeling this will be quite common for awhile .

The next 14 days seem like 60 with scattered showers, cloudy, wind from east .

No need to. Elevated storms mostly .

Between the rain last night and these storms tonight that’s a nice soaking we have going into this week .

There seemed to be a slight chance. Def seemed like there was west of Carlisle .

It’s been constant thunder here. It’s an elevated storm I’m guessing .

Fun storm. Constant rolling thunder and lightning .

Crazy lightning .

Talk about being in the crosshairs .

Nice lightshow looking west .

It got real hot really quickly. And storms this afternoon? .

We also haven’t had a true burner of a summer in awhile. All the those hottest month records we’ve had have been on the back of super high min temperatures. You look at some of the years with lots of 90’s, 100+ as highs and they were dry but with huge spreads between high and low temperatures .

This area used to get some heinous draughts if you go back into the climate record. Officially at least I can honk we’ve only had a couple years in the last 30 that were bad. We’ve been getting wetter and wetter overall it seems .

I feel like something else might be going on here has I don’t feel the drought was that severe. Especially after having something like 10 out of the previous 11 years being above normal before the drought. .
