Enjoy spring, everyone! That's a cold spring, let's skip it and go into summer with 80's!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Yea, enjoy it while you can, even if we lack a nice snow you know there's going to be a cold front with brutal winds to sucker punch us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the typical fat kid that ruled Little League with an iron fist so the wind was nice to get more distance on hitting. But I also pitched and that's when it sucked.

Santa Clause Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Played basketball only, so just hated cold weather on long road trips when the bus heater sucked. Do love the weather today, been out as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 What a warm day today, my only complaint here is it is still way too muddy to do much outside around the house. By the time this major warm spell gets mitigated to some degree next weekend, we'll have lost a big chunk of our prime major snowstorm climo. JB's "American Pie" February must have been fresh out of the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Got 40 ish miles on the sleds while watching the snow melt. Done for the weekend and maybe the year. Yes it felt nice but no I'm not ready. Was crazy to snowmobile in jeans n minimal gear. My son didn't wear gloves Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 I for one hope that back to reality slap to the face comes sooner rather than later in March so we could at least salvage an opportunity or two and bounce into spring normally. However, I'm seeing the same problems we've seen all winter long in the longer range of the models. They definitely are reloading Canada with very cold air (finally) as the coming week wears on, but the progressive and very active jet just doesn't allow any press deep into the CONUS and once again the trough is focusing on the western half of the country and forces a pretty solid SE ridge eventually. We should cool back to around average after the system progged around next weekend but it looks that we'll be quite vulnerable to cutters beyond that. Thus, we may be on the wrong side of the boundary again with what will probably be a pretty robust storm pattern as the cold reloads in Canada and the southern US warms with March arriving. Or I guess a better way to put that would be... as the already very warm regime continues on in the southern US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 We are extremely dry and people don't realize it. With this warm spring like weather, people are out working in their yards cleaning up and assume its OK to burn, which we here all know it is not. I think this Spring/Summer is going to be a busy time for wildfires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this Spring/Summer is going to be a busy time for wildfires. Almost seems like we are due for a good drought. 2001 was the last year Harrisburg was at least 1 standard deviation below normal in rainfall and since 1999 they have had below normal rainfall only 4 years!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WmsptWx Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 This Pacific air seems to be kicking the entire continental U.S. in the ass every couple years now. I'm not a met, so maybe one can show us some charts to debunk my tinfoil hattery here. <tinfoil> What are the chances the surge of warmth from the Pacific is related to any supposed influence from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant that almost melted to complete shat in 2011? </tinfoil> Not really a "serious" inquiry.

Blizzard of 93 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think many have forgotten that it can snow in PA during March & early April. I have enjoyed the nice weather this weekend, but I believe that we will pay the price in March with snow & cold. #winterisnotover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
