    With a little over one month left in the year, 2023 continues to be in the running for one of the warmest years on record at several cities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Notably, it is easily the warmest on record at DuBois and Bradford, in the higher elevations of the north. Williamsport, Harrisburg, and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area are all in second place to date - in the latter two cities, the records belong to the recent year of 2020; however, the record at Williamsport dates back more than 100 years (1921). While 1921 is the warmest through November 27, the record warmest year at IPT actually occurred much more recently in 2012 (as a warm December enabled that year to overtake the early 20th century challenger). Regardless, if we continue to run warmer than normal in December, this is shaping up to be an historic year weather-wise in the Commonwealth.  I am looking forward, with much excitement, to sharing the final numbers in early January.

    Williamsport (2nd warmest)

    DuBois (warmest on record - a full 1.3F above #2!!!)

    Low of 32 and walked through some decent flurries on the way to work here in Harrisburg. 

    I echo the sentiments of others, in that I have absolutely no issue whatsoever with @ChescoWx posting in this forum.  I mean, the guy usually posts once a day for crying out loud, in which he gives a nice concise forecast and summarizes his daily observations.  No harm in that.  You may quibble with him on his record keeping as it pertains to past comparisons, and that's fine, but the guy is harmless and sometimes posts useful data.  The more the merrier, within reason ha.

    Oh yeah, national low was only 82 at Ochopee, FL.  Of course, the low was at Peter Sinks, checking in with a cool -31. 

    Sorry was just joking everyone gets so damn sensitive around here, :D

    I enjoy his detailed posts & Chester county is literally the next county over from Lancaster.

    He offers quality content that is beneficial to this thread.

    That’s why I said with love LOL. Although I am tired of climate changer/dream traveler/Chesco they are all fair game for criticism and feedback like we all are!

    So another interesting chart for those who "feel" we don't see large snowstorms here in Chester County in the modern days. The below chart in fact shows that our last complete decade the period 2010-2019 featured the most 10" plus snow storms (13 of them) then any decade in our history. Plus the 3 snowstorms in the 2010's that exceeded 20" of snow during the decade is tied with the 1890's for most 20" plus snowstorms. For the decades with the least amount of large snow events we need to go all the way back to the 1940's and 1970's. Those 2 decades both finished with less than 10 storms the entire decade that measured over 6". I suspect we are due for some less snowy decades as that is the simple cyclical nature of weather.

    Can I recommend you move your posting to the Philly forum they would enjoy that Chester is not part of this sub forum thanks with love!

    Didn't somebody punt on the next three winters due to the volcano eruption from last year?

    Reading DT's tweet, the Pacific jet remains king. I feel like until it dies, and there's nothing to say it will, we're no different than Seattle.

    It's been a flizzard all morning, which is nice.
