Eskimo Joe Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Woke up to 42 degrees in New Salem, York County this morning. Looked like a classic winter storm was about hit when I saw the cloud deck driving to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anduril Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 **Preliminary** 2014-2015 NOAA/NWS Winter Outlook: Not decisively cold and snowy for the eastern U.S. The preliminary forecast from the NOAA/NWS Climate Prediction Center (CPC) calls for equal chances of a cooler than normal, warmer than normal or normal winter for most of the Mid-Atlantic states -- including much of Central Pennsylvania -- and leans slightly toward warmer than normal conditions from the extreme northern reaches of the Mid-Atlantic region into New England and Northeast U.S. For precipitation, the forecast assigns equal odds of normal, above, or below normal rain and snow for the region. The outlooks do not give specifics for snow amounts, just overall precipitation. The long-range forecast and associated maps represent CPC's “preliminary outlook” for temperature and precipitation during December 2014, and January-February 2015. The slight tilt in the odds to favor warm conditions in the Northern U.S., and cool and damp conditions in the South reflects a typical weak El Niño pattern (combined with model forecasts) – which is forecast to develop. However, there is still some uncertainty. Seasonal forecasts have progressed some over the last several years and can be used as a guide, but still can and do go wrong. The most reliable seasonal forecasts for winter are issued later in the October and November time frame, although even they are not foolproof. Last year was a perfect example. Admittedly, last winter's forecast was simply not a good forecast in which near normal to above normal temperatures in the eastern U.S. were predicted and it turned out brutally cold and snowy. The cause of the tough winter, well known by now as the polar vortex, was distorted by a strong and persistent ridge of high pressure over the eastern Pacific and the west coast of the United States. We are still trying to figure out why that ridge maintained its position so persistently. The CPC will issue its official outlook on October 16, 2014.

Snow_Miser Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Quite the chilly day here with orographic lift from the southwest flow keeping cloud cover locked over C PA. Wind at times makes it feel like it's in the middle 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Snow is being reported in Clarion and Elk counties in PA. Highly doubt even a dusting will occur, but it seems a bit early for this. Also impressive to see this occur at 2:40 pm in early October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow_Miser Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 First 30s of the year. Down to 36. Thinking we get lower than the NWS forecast of 36 for the low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy_wx Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Only got down to 38F at Walker, shortly after midnight and then again early this morning. The flow here was a bit stronger and thus the boundary layer never fully decoupled with the surface. There also may have been some weak, low-level warm advection.

Voyager Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Went to bed and it was 36, got up this morning and it was 37. Sometime overnight though, it cooled down to 32, so we had our first "official in my backyard" freezing temperature this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
