He may have missed his nap? Misplaced glasses?

PSU received 2.5".  Steve Seman who said any amount of snow over 0.2 inches would be more than State College has experienced this late in Spring since 1993.

Sun's poking through here decently w/some clouds. May lead to a nice sunset...

Hey, there's Mitchell! He posted in here a few times before he went to Binghamton.

Yeah I was surprised to see him in that video because I thought he was at Mt. Holly (but then come to think of it, I hadn't seen any AFDs lately by him from Mt. Holly but have seen a few new folks there doing them).

Yeah he moved in Feb. 2018, made the announcement in an AFD.

Thanks for the reminder!  I have seen several announce retirements or moves in the AFDs, including one recently (I think either at the end of last month or beginning of this month).   I also think Walt Drag did similar with a move.

This is why I prefer the fall to spring. Fall you anticipate colder weather with a hot day thrown in.  Spring in the evil step child teasing you with warm.

I do recall having to re plant tomatoes once in May after a frost killed about 8 or 10 plants.  My Easter flowers I planted on Saturday were dead by Monday am.

Yeah the one thing about fall is that the ground is warm (along with any large bodies of water nearby) so even with chilly cold fronts, the radiation of heat from the ground help neutralize the chill, even during cloudy days.

In spring, the ground is still cold (along with those large bodies of water) and you need that sun to help - at least to get some "spot warmth". :lol:

I got up to 58 today with full sun and some scattered clouds here and there. Currently mostly sunny and 56 with dp 31.

80F+ Sunday then 50s Wed-Thurs-Fri----Sat?  

56F

All the weather entities have scaled that back to the mid-70s for Sunday.  Mt. Holly noted the potential for a marine layer influence along the coast (which would cool temps a bit inland too), plus the position of the ridge might end up pushing the warmer temps up north to the LV area.

It did turn out to be a nice day today with low humidity and reasonable temps for an early spring day (plus my early lilac is blooming so it made it through the frosts and freezes after budding up during that cold snap). 

I made it up to 69 for a high after a low of 45.  Currently mostly sunny and 68 with dp 33.

Yeah I'm was going to post this. My area and further N/W will be warmer than Philly and the shoreline may stay in the 50s/low 60s?

Tues rains then a mid week cool down w/ 50s highs for several days...

64F

Ended up a bit warmer than progged overnight possibly due to a deck of clouds (that were also present early this morning meaning being unable to look at the heavily-promoted 4-planet alignment with the moon).  Low was 53 and it's currently mostly cloudy (although about an hour ago, the clouds had broken up a bit but are back) and 60 with dp 37.
