The masses buying their spring plants at Lowes today will be sad regardless if the CMC and Euro are correct with the Northern Stream dipping south of us. Will challenge for coldest nights of the season. GFS starting to come around to this thought but still 10-15 degrees warmer than the other two. Temps down south almost Super Storm of '93 level cold. Not quite but close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who buys or plants before a March 20 or so basically deserves to lose it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but for some reason, probably Covid fatigue, the word has passed around that winter is over and spring has sprung. The line for mulch was 5-6 cars deep. And that is in sleepy Waynesboro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like everything. People can’t wait to do things no matter what it is. They’re putting up Halloween decorations in September, Christmas trees up as soon as Halloween is over. Planting in March and early April. Then they can’t wait to get rid of it before it’s even over. A lot of people need that instant gratification. As soon as they achieve it then they’re on to something else. That’s why no one is ever satisfied with anything anymore. It’s a society of a lot of immature selfish individuals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The pattern at the end of this week looks really interesting with low pressure in the gulf, -NAO, 50/50 low and ridging out west. Hopefully we get a winter storm to track with this look on the 18z GEFS & EPS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday to Sunday (next week) could be one of, if not the, coldest average weeks of the season. CMC goes banana's with the cold. 5 nights in or near the teens at MDT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mount Joy Snowman Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I recorded .29” liquid from Friday night’s event and after much poking around I’m going with .5” snow. Hey @Blizzard of 93 looks like MDT officially recorded a T of snow yesterday as you feared haha. This despite the PNS showing someone in Middletown reporting .4”. The beat goes on. Time for rain.

Yes, awesome...”T” ! I guess the observer must have slept in yesterday....there should be at least .3 in the books based on everything else available. But, if you looked outside at 9am, you would have never knew that it snowed yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! That might be a fun little direction to take my little saga. I will say that I take no issue with what they reported. Temps were above freezing for the "event". Being ON the river in a marginal situation will usually yield less snow than surrounding areas. As I said yesterday, I've been traveling along the river to work for nearly 25 years now, and there have been many times where I've had an inch or so at home only to see little or nothing right along the river. Low elevation plus the marginal temperatures and it's not a good recipe for snow accumulations. I only measured .7" myself, so a trace along the river seems right. Even our good friend in Carlisle had basically nothing, so it's not like everyone surrounding the airport were scoring significant amounts. Even the .4" measurement from Middletown makes sense if you get away from the river and add some elevation. I believe they know what they're doing and I think they do it right.

If MDT reports 30" for the season and I measured 40"...I had 40'' for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 People just a few hundred feet above me still have 6-12" snow packs as of this moment. They will be building Easter snowmen with the coming cold stretch securing their pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - but if I get 18" from a storm and MDT gets 6", I will remember that I got a foot and a half and not that the airport got a half foot.

That type of extreme difference would bother me for sure! But if the difference is relatively close, I would rather it go down that MDT got 12 and my yard only got 10.

Interesting conversation though - I really don't, and have never paid much attention to what MDT reports. While I enjoy very much reading what others get, what matters most to me is what's outside my window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it doesn’t matter to me what the rest of you measure! I have already accepted that @Cashtown_Coop will always win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much in the way of precip right now but it seems to me the MA people making their declarations are just looking at radar maps. MDT is closing out Met winter having gone below 20 only 3 nights. Euro has MDT getting down to or below 20 three times in the next 7-10 days....CMC has 6 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
