It figures right when I get doctors permission to start working again we close down. Granted, we are mask Nazis at my restaurant, but not a single employee has tested positive the past 9 months despite a lot of testing. I think I need to play the lottery Sent from my LM-X210APM using Tapatalk

Central PA 2020 Fall - The Hope begins
Jns2183 replied to paweather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
I figure I would put the offer out there now that my mind is no longer in pain killer fog, yet I still have ample free time. Are there any historical weather analysis that anyone would like completed. As long as I can find a data set I should be able to handle some requests. Sent from my LM-X210APM using Tapatalk -

God that's horrible. The issue I ran into where I got hit was there wasn't even a crosswalk at the intersection Sent from my LM-X210APM using Tapatalk -

I've been absent here the last few months but life always has a funny way of bringing me back to the weather, hopefully next time it's a bit less painful. I managed to get hit by a car last Monday crossing the Carlisle pike by st John's rd. Luckily driver was only going 15mph, and I had time to make my upper thigh and butt the main impact area. Still ended up with three pelvic fractures a mild brain bleed and moderate concussion that kept me in holy spirit for 3 days. Hell I'm happy to just be alive. But no surgery Needed, and now I have 4 to 6 weeks of time off work (I bartend, although thinking I may go back to accounting due to the fact I have no clue how long it's going to take me to be able physically to stand for all those hours). I learned the last 2 days that yes, the cold and rain do make things hurt worse. Here I thought it was just a wives take to explain getting old. Sent from my LM-X210APM using Tapatalk -
I can probably take full blame for this heat as on July 4th a few too many beers consumed I took the bet that for the rest of of July I could log 250 miles walking for $250 of beer. Well tonight after getting off work around 4 I logged 12 miles which put me at 252 for the month. Better yet, my friend who made the bet joined me and starting regretting it after mile 4 but made it the whole way after I made sure he drank about 72 oz of water with mio electrolytes in it. What I learned is its possible to loose 20lbs of actual fat, while losing 2 pants sizes, while drinking 75 beers in a month. One does actually get used to the heat as 98 with the breeze felt like cake today. I actually can get sorta tan. I feel about 10 years younger. Walking on black pavement in the beating 98 degree sun produces produces temperatures well into the 100's quite easily and after a few of those endeavors a hike in actual tree cover in 98 degree heat feels like life on easy mode. Its possible to sit outside with it being 89, a heat index of 97, and actually have a thought that it feels kinda chilly. The path on front st along the river is a treasure which I never fully appreciated till now. I have witnessed some of the most beautiful sunsets in my life with this heat this month. I hope everyone is doing well. I plan on cutting back my almost 10 mile a day average for at least a week or two so I expect the heat to break soon.

I see I've been summoned. Can one tell me what makes a bad sweet corn season. I have some downtime before having to bartend so what I need is some characterstistics of a bad sweet corn season. Tempature and precipitation in which months. I think I I can even pull up data for Lancaster specifically Sent from my LML211BL using Tapatalk

Take a look a WV and W. PA on GOES. clearing already in dry slot. Biggest issue maybe eastern component to wind. Warm front seems to be progressing rapidly through Virginia with mid 60 dew points south of DC. Warm front passage along with dry slot should scour out boundary layer and allow for at least some broken sun during prime heating . Pro

Holy crap the meso on that thing had to be huge. Reminds me of some the more famous OKC area storms. What’s amazing is that very well might of been the strongest, largest, most violent one of the day. Out of all the other PA tornadoes, the second widest was the Kane tornado at 1000 yards. It was rated F4, on the ground for 29 miles (40 minutes) from 8:00 - 8:40 PM, injured 40, killed 4. Closely following in 3rd widest was the the Watsontown tornado at 910 yards. It too was rated F4, on the ground for 19 miles from 9:25 - 10:15 PM (50 minutes), injuring 60 and killing 6. Our F4 friend above was 3,330 yards (1.9 miles), at its widest, and spent almost all of ifs 69 mile journey from 7:35 to 9:00 pm (85 mins) at least a mile wide. So it was bar the widest, most long tracked tornado of the day in PA. I counted 23 tornados in CTP chart. And the intensity ratings for the group, especially being PA are about absurd as you expect. F0 - 2 F1 - 2 F2 - 5 F3 - 6 F4 - 7 F5 - 1 It appears from about 5pm through 9 pm there was just about at all times 3-4 tornados on the ground at the same times, 2-3 of which were F3 or above. Looks like 9 tornados tracked between 10-20 miles, 8 tornados had tracks of > 20 miles, 4 > 40 miles. I would love if there was a data warehouse that listed all PA tornados on record. I’m sure a bunch of these would be stacked near the top in track length. I also wonder if towns like Kane and Watsontown had in there history any tornado rated at least f3 occur within a 40 mile radius, that occurred not on that day. . Pro

So exactly what parameters do we even need in place for their to be a legit possibility of a 70 mile long tornado rated at F4 and I believe 1-2 miles wide for the majority of its track to blaze across the mountains west to East laughing at everyone lulled into complacency at seeing countless squall line poop, puke, and decapitate themselves on the same track? Exactly how many times have we seen parameters that at least roughly equal that days ones for our area throughout the entire period where it’s possible to compare? Surely this had to be some PSU MET PhD dissertation or research project in the last 30+ years. Whose got access to PSU library that can check? . Pro

I understand the parameters are pretty out there, but that statement feels more in line with “if you see sun before noon, say hello, you are now in Wheatland, Pennsylvania; it’s may 31st, 1985, enjoy the unique clouds on offer today”. . Pro

Is there a table or spreadsheet that has new cases, total cases, deaths, recovery for each day the last 2-3 weeks for PA? . Pro

Central PA - Late Dec 2019/Jan 2020
Jns2183 replied to MAG5035's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Although the Harrisburg WeatherStation smooth around some and it’s like from downtown Harrisburg over to the Middletown area I think the biggest issue which I do not have an idea of how big of an effect it would be would be the quality control of measurements and the method used. Aside from see below because it did not matter. After the 1960s those years owned 5 of top 10!snowiest winters and also #11 & #19 Hindsight being 20/20 I like to try to put myself in a position of what people would’ve thought back then and after the 1960s they had just experienced winters that ranked #1,2,3,7,10,11, & 19 to date. Going back another 3 years to include the winters of 57’-58’ & 59-60 you could include #24 & #25 on that list. So before the winter of 57’-58’ from the winter of 1889-1890 to through the winter of 1956-1957 years, there were 18 winters with at least 40” of snow. Basically 1 every 3.77 years. There were 5 winters over 50”, or 1 every 13.6 years. Over the next 13 years 8 winters had 40” or above to bring the total to 26 and the average down 17% to 1 every 3.12 years. Those 13 years also doubled the amount of winters over 50”, the total now being 10 and bringing the average down to 1 every 8 years. The average snowfall before 58’-59’ was 32.2”. The average after was 34.4”, a 6.8% jump in 13 years. . Pro
