BWI is -2.4 for the month. Yesterday's low of 32 is in the books. Sorry TCC. Interestingly, Mt. Mansfield in Vermont tied its 2010 record of earliest 1 foot snowfall yesterday. I wonder if TCC is headed up there to confirm the measurement?

Notwithstanding the recent trades, as of 10/16, Oisst SSTA for ENSO 1+2, 3, 3.4 and 4 respectively are only: -0.077; +0.058; -0.138 & +0.031. Those are solid La Nada numbers. https://cyclonicwx.com/sst.php

If the 5 minute reading showed it matches temp, albeit contrary to TCC's narrative, then it's likely accurate. It's going into the books and that's pretty much all that matters. Inter hour mins and maxes are not unusual at any station. Living 2 miles north of the reporting site for over 30 years, I can't remember one time where their reading was questionably different than mine.

I always use the Cfs2 website as TT don't look right compared to it. Only problem is no 500mb anomaly maps. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/CFSv2/CFSv2_body.html It's got daily monthly and weekly forecasts under the links under "Cfs2 Related Links." They do have 500mb anomaly maps.

Meh...consider the source. Doom and gloom makes money for some and transfers power. I leave it in God's hands and don't worry about to be quite honest.

The reporting station is near the end of a runway. I've always thought that had something to do with higher numbers than neighboring reports. Maybe they had fewer takeoff or closed that runway, because we all know the world's going to end as a firery ball any month now.

When I referenced 1901 it was a reference to my age. Quite the coincidence that 1901 had a similar fall at MDT as I never looked at that chart. Lol

I remember fall 01 was dry as heck too. Terrible winter after it. P.s. I am referring to 2001 and not 1901.

He's probably said both depending on his forecast and actual wx. Lol

I always remember him saying it was December. And if you think back, all the great winters had a decent December. 15/16 an exception due to a season's worth of snow+ with 1 storm for many.

Same here. It's all over.

How close are they to the river?

Can you consider using a different word instead of "archaic?" I remember all those years as if they were yesterday.

2nd'ary front coming thru so cold will be resupplied. Temps should hold steady then start dropping. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

We had clouds that put the kybosh on the cooling. Still a nip in the air at 50.

I know that. It's called being facetious. Lol

No report out of York airport.

Gorgeous sunrise.

Wait, I thought Canada was supposed to be a sauna...!

12z Gfs advertising another cold shot around day 10.

Just had a huge wind gust out of nowhere. Crazy.

You can be skeptical, it's your perogative. But if people are going to post model runs, it seems only fair to consider the entire run and not just the parts they agree with.

Warm November has been advertised on long range models with a warm December too. We hashed this out when the Euro seasonal came out that things start cooling in January with February continuing the trend, which is why the tri-monthly average after Dec-Feb cools. Iow, nothing new or to see here.

Going back to an old topic of discussion. I went south on 94 out of Hanover's town center for the first time in over a year as I always go around there on my way to/from mby north/south of town. Anyway, they're building a new convenience store about a 1/2 mile south of Grandview Road on 94 and, low and behold, it's a WaWa! Little did I know when I posted weeks ago we didn't have one, it was already under construction. Lol They clearly had a plan to saturate central PA with new stores. No complaints here.

Probably because he already collected the seasonal subscriptions he expected by the end of January! Lol
