Well, took off the snow tires yesterday (yes, I drive one of those rear wheel drive dinasours) so I'm ALL IN for Spring.

I'm bumming I can no longer find the daily snowfall history reports anywhere. I wanted to see officially where we stand in terms of least snowfall winters. The current one on the NWS site only goes back to 1984 and I believe for KMDT, this winter is in 4th place at the moment.

Anyone have something back farther than that?

Maybe try to email CTP. They might be able to tell you or maybe even induce them to put out a statement on it.

Just read Joe Calhoun (WGAL, HBG) spring outlook and he thinks the severe thunderstorms will stay to our west as well? That blows. So basically we're getting San Diego's weather this year. Kinda sucks.

That's a really silly thing to say. There's no way whatsoever anyone can say that. One major severe outbreak and he looks bad. I've never heard anyone make a call like that on severe thunderstorms. I wonder about the TV mets down there.

I saw it hit the wing, made a sizzling pop sound. Nothing major, lightning hits planes all the time.

Oh, I know about lightning hitting the plane being common, I was wondering how you knew. Just for the next time I am flying, to look out for it. Now I know what to listen for.

If I am reading the same article, he didn't say severe weather will stay to the west, but that they think the most active severe weather will remain to our west. They never mentioned a severe weather forecast for the local area, other than it was going to continue to be warm. The media is a different ball game. The #1 goal.... attract viewers. A story like that is interesting to the public.

Our climatological peak (still talking severe wx here) is four months away. Patience. ;)

Interesting....

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...

WARM FRONT PUSHING INTO CENTRAL PA WILL BRING INCREASING LOW LEVEL

MOISTURE WHICH WILL LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT EROSION IN STABILITY

THURSDAY. BY MID TO LATE DAY SHORT RANGE PROGS SHOW MID LEVEL

LAPSE RATES APPROACHING 7C/KM WITH ANOMALOUS PWATS IN THE 1-3 STD

DEV RANGE. OPERATIONAL NAM CREATES CAPE IN THE 1400J RANGE WHILE

THE SREFS ARE ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE CONSERVATIVE IN THE 900-1000J

RANGE. SHEAR STARTS OFF RATHER ANEMIC BUT INCREASES SOMEWHAT THE

DEEPER INTO THE DAY WE GET. WITH THE EXPECTATIONS OF A GOOD DEAL

OF SUNSHINE...WE COULD POP OFF A FEW ISOLATED STRONG STORMS IN THE

AFTERNOON. AS OF THIS HOUR THE SPC SLIGHT RISK IS WEST OF HERE BUT

WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF LATER UPDATES EXPAND IT INTO CENTRAL PA.

HAVE INCREASED POPS TO ARND 60 PCT ACROSS THE MUCH OF CENTRAL PA

WEST OF THE SUSQ RIVER. 18Z MDL DATA PLACES STALLED WARM FRONT IN

THIS AREA THU AFTN...PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR ENHANCED CONVECTION.
