I haven't planted anything yet, but our perennials are established already. Bleeding Hearts are about 10 inches high and the Black Eyed Susans are growing. Tulips are ready to pop open. Ma Nature has 'em going good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that if it just gets to near 30 there will not be major damage. A littlr worried here because we have been running several degrees colder than guidance on many of the chilly spring mornings and mid 20's will do damage.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 On 4/17/2021 at 1:20 PM, Jns2183 said: One reason I brought it up was due to a discovery I made while looking at the historical precipitation data for Harrisburg. For a good number of years the station was located at capital city airport before its move to HIA in I think 1991. Capital city had like a year of no data before it started reporting once more. Straight line the 2 stations are no more than 3 or 4 miles from each other. Despite this proximity capital city had a precipitation total that was less than HIA 29/30 years and I believe it was around 10%. Even when I broke up year into quarters this effect was constant throughout. I’ll have to dig up all the research I did but I came away convinced this was not just random, not instrument or human error, that it clearly involved some microclimate effect. The only one that sense was capital city proximity to some of larger hills like in northern York county. It just shocked me that the effect was that large. . This is fascinating, perhaps some mild downsloping effects from the high hills you mentioned? I mean, MDT also has a decent ridgeline on the other side of the river to contend with but perhaps not as much blocking it from the prevailing storm direction as would the hills around CXY. Who knows but interesting nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most just remember the major events but don’t recall the typical days. They think that the weather is just not like what it was back when they grew up. I try to remind people that many of the extremes have happened decades ago, and will likely happen once again some year. Aint this the truth, preach.

Bubbler86 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 So does the LSV just get a frost warning or a full freeze warning? I have very reliable information that says a moderate frost should be proceeded by a freeze warning :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Noticed this on TT: On April 20-21, NCEP will impose restrictions on how fast its model data can be downloaded. This may impact the timeliness of some plots, but how much is yet unknown. Please bear with me if problems occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows but interesting nonetheless. It must be. Also watch anytime we get storms or a rain band that inches east and the cells flow more north to south. It seems like cells always fire right by you in mount joy or south ahead of the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
