January 21st 1994 was the coldest temperature I've ever recorded...-23 was my low. I remember how jaw-dropping it was to see my thermometer that low...the coldest temp that I remembered prior to that was Christmas 1983 when I recorded -6. You're welcome! For me the coldest temperature I ever had at my home in NJ (until 2000) was -8 which happened twice. Possibly the first time might have been 1983. I think what I remember about Christmas day 1983 is that the wind chills (which were still calculated on the old, original scale and were overdone with temps below zero), on my Heathkit 4001 showed wind chills below -50F multiple times that morning as the winds were easily gusting in to the 30s. On that day my high temperature was only +4F, the coldest daily maximum I've ever lived through. The coldest temperature I've ever experienced outdoors anywhere was -17F up in Haverhill, New Hampshire visiting a weather friend. There was no wind with that temp, thankfully.

They've started playing baseball down in Florida and I'm ready to start hiking the trails. Unless we have a March 1993 blockbuster staring us down, I'll pass on cold and snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I was thinking it would be Christmasish though I did not map out the exact day. Monday December 27th. If there is a storm around then it will be in your name & honor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The 12z EPS is still advertising a pattern change back to a wintry look towards mid month. Enjoy the warmth next week, because there is a chance that we are back to winter storm tracking for the 2nd half of the month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like snow up until st. pattys day, then I worry a lot less about it, as the window is really closing, but like others have stated, I'll always take a doozy whenever it's possible. The ridging on the maps from next week is rather stout, and will likely over perform IMO, and I'll just enjoy the first spring warmth and see where we go beyond d10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 CTP: .CLIMATE... Closing the books on the meteorological winter (Dec-Feb) 2020-2021. Prelim data shows Harrisburg finished as the 28th snowiest on record with a total of 36.0 inches or +11.3 inches above the 30-year average. Total snowfall at Williamsport ranked as the 8th snowiest winter with 53.8 inches or +26.1 inches above the long term mean. February was also a notable month in the snowfall category as Williamsport (8th snowiest with 22.0 inches), State College (11th snowiest at 25.2 inches), and Harrisburg (18th snowiest with 19.7 inches) set notable marks. Of additional note: February of 2021 was the snowiest February since 2014 at all 3 sites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to a state park this weekend and going to do some ice walking. Only part of the lake is covered but can still go out a bit. Like I mentioned last week, I wonder how often (if ever) small lakes and ponds in the LSV will ever totally freeze enough for ice skating in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid- March when I am out of the states you guys are going to capitalize for sure. The models seem to be showing that change from spring early next week to more winter later on.
