Voyager Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Crazy relentless cold this year. Indeed. 16 degrees this morning for another January like morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-83 BLIZZARD Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Happy January 86th! Wow 18.3 here this morning. Hard to believe that 86 days out from the first of January we are still hitting the teens this week. I can honestly say that this by far is the most brutal winter I have ever experienced. I have lived here for 12 years, and before that I lived in Baltimore near I-95. Nothing compares to it in my 12 years here, or my prior life in Baltimore. Cold and persistent snow for months has been relentless. I agree that we are done with the teens, but that fact that we still have them today is a testament to the thype of winter we have had.

dvdmgsr Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 16.5F in my backyard, 16.8F reported down the hill at Walker Building on campus. The record low for PSU is listed at 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Looks like the official low for Harrisburg will be 20 degrees... once again we are 1-2 degrees off of breaking a record low in 2014... Through the 26th: Pittsburgh currently with 7th coldest March on record Harrisburg currently with 9th coldest March on record - 5th coldest start to the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogan Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Bottomed out at 15.8F this morning. According to the records at MU this is the coldest start to a calender year since 1994 (20 years). This month will make 3 straight months with significant negative temperature departures for our area. With such a cold start to the year it is very likely that we finish the year with negative temp departures. http://www.atmos.millersville.edu/~wic/climo/t-anomaly.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Looks like there could be some wet snow with the storm upcoming this weekend if enough dynamic cooling can happen with heavy enough precip. The NAM tonight has a burst of wet snow for most of the high elevations west of the Susquehanna for a while, enough for some accumulation maybe. Predominantly though this is a rain storm.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few flakes, maybe early Sunday morning. Monday is looking quite nice with temperatures getting into the 50s with full sunshine. Tuesday may be substantially warmer depending on how much mid-level cloud cover moves in during the afternoon. Southern areas will likely get into the 70s with more sun and ideal mixing conditions.

We have tix for Boston's games in Baltimore which is always incredibly tricky the first week of April, ha. Maybe a few showers Wednesday, potentially more widespread on Thursday. A 500 mb shortwave will move over the plains into the Great Lakes region Tuesday, followed by more amplified trough with a track maybe farther south and east by Thursday. The associated system for Thursday could bring a warm front through (slowly perhaps) so the chance of rain would probably be a bit higher. It's still pretty far out in time so the important specifics are of course subject to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If temps are decent I can deal with showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Go O's! LoL+1. I'm going to my 17th home opener on Monday. Greatest opening day memory was Cal taking the Rocket deep for a 3-run blast back in '89. The '03 opener against Cleveland was delayed by an insane snow squall. My wife and I were in left field and for a few moments we lost sight of the light standards in left. All but zero visibility at the yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NortheastPAWx Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 March 29th and we're just getting to 1.00" for the month at Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Looks to be a classic late season winter storm unfolding the next 12-18 hours with an area wide moderate to heavy rainfall eventually transitioning to freezing rain and marginal wet snow event in the higher elevations of central and northern Penn. Wouldn't be surprised to see some of the highest Laurel's locations (above 2400') manage 6+ of snow if we have enough precip lingering around. Just off the Laurel's in AOO and UNV could manage an inch or so, with the tops of the local ridges (Brush, Tussey, Seven Mountains, etc) possibly managing several inches.

NortheastPAWx Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think the problem with any significant snow would be the dynamics of this event, which appear to be focused further to our east (forecasts of 3"+ if you look toward the Poconos, NJ, NYC/HV/LI). Naturally, the uppers (2,000'+ as noted above) would have a shot at something noteworthy, but I am wondering if we will have enough precip leftover to allow for such a changeover and snow event for those upstairs.

Voyager Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Amazing how, even in a rain storm, Schuylkill County finds itself in one of the "dry zones". I don't know how others fared today, but I only have 0.41" in the gauge, and all of the heavier rain is both east and west of my location per the current radar depiction.

AlleghanyBlade Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I emptied my gauge a little bit after midnight and had 1.07" for the day. It looks like the rest of the week is looking nice, hopefully we'll see some 60's here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 41 degrees with 0.79" of rain since 10am yesterday at Millersville. That batch of moisture to west when it swings through will put us over the 1" mark easy. Raw morning out there.

MAG5035 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Well it took all month but finally something on the ground that's somewhat measurable, a whopping 0.7" of snow. Heavy burst a bit ago has some of the road by the house covered in slush. It's enough that some of the roads are dangerous in spots, listening to the scanner the last 15-20 min I've heard 2 wrecks with one on the other side of town unfortunately being fatal. East of here in the next valley over and around US 22 near the Blair/Huntingdon line seems to be getting hit pretty hard this morning. Bulk of the lingering precip shield looks to be residing just south of State College and covering most of the region from Altoona east into the Sus Valley. With the changeover trying to work its way east, some of the ridges in the south central might end up with some accumulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
