That's interesting...reading posts in the DC thread that smoke is obscuring the sky EAST of the Chesapeake...surprised it's not noticeable where you are. The sky here is almost 100% "white" with little to no blue visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Looking at the animation of this Sat pic you can see a lot of haze coming straight south from Canada as well. https://www.wunderground.com/maps/satellite/regional-visible/usshd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that Sat image I showed Franklin was pretty clear but there was stuff north of my county. The thicker haze/clouds/smoke were south of me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always love how PA has Giant Eagle in the western part of the state and then Giant in the eastern/southern part of the state but they are two *completely* different companies lol but their rewards cards scan and work in either one (I assume you wont earn points tho) to get discounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ahold is owner of both but their logo's are different and in MD the Giants want nothing to do with my PA Giant card. If Shasta's are 4 for a Dollar with your bonus card I have to pay $.50 each if in MD unless the Cashier is kind enough to swipe a community card. The MD Giant's are named Giant Food's and based in Landover (Let's Go Caps) while the PA Giant is based in Carlisle but like you said I think they are both owned by Netherlands Ahold.

MAG5035 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Pretty interesting and informative disco from CTP tonight...A little reminder of Meteo 436 (Atmospheric Radiation) a long time ago. Adjusting temps down some tomorrow due to the smoke remaining in the upper levels. Frost advisory up for McKean County (Bradford area) tonight. Quote .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... Efficient radiational cooling associated with surface high should result in a chilly overnight. Although a large area of smoke has moved in over the area, this should not impact overnight low temps. Smoke can filter out shortwave radiation from the sun resulting in cooler days, but is not as effective in absorbing longwave radiation (the smoke particles are too small), so it has little impact on overnight low temps. Diurnal mixing will diminish early this evening, bringing nearly calm winds. A large spread between air and stream water temperatures should result in the typical dendritic pattern of valley fog across the Alleghenies after midnight. In addition, latest guidance lends increasing confidence in areas of frost in the normally cooler hollows of northwest Pa. A frost advisory is in effect for Mckean County where the frost is expected to most widespread, with more patchy frost anticipated elsewhere across the northwest mountains. Large scale subsidence and dry air associated with center of surface high should translate to a virtually cloudless Tuesday. However, we will continue to see smoke advected in aloft from the wildfires out west. As such, knocked down high temps a few degrees for Tue, with temps generally not getting out of the upper 60s. Dewpoints will remain around 40F, possibly lower if we can mix up to the very dry air near 5kft, but was not too aggressive with mixing due to smoke filtering the sunshine.

Blizzard of 93 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Last night I was disgusted by the performance of my Philly sports teams on Sunday. I cheered myself up by going back to read our Winter thread from 2015. We had many snow events which were mostly the 3 to 5 inch type of storm. There was also the record cold of February 2015. We had a lot of fun in here that Winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
