I have a fairly powerfully 285HP motor that sucks gas like a Uhaul. LOL. That 33 gallon tank is great for not having to get out and gas up when cold out! Very true...which is great this time of the year. The downside is that I'm now paying around $160 to fill up. However, I get 800+ miles on a tank...lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just played the rich "Boss Hogg" like thing when people see your gas pump breaches $100 and you act like it is just pennies to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I've ever seen this kind of snow forecast map before. Lots of areas (including me) forecast to receive 0.1" of snow overnight! A few models show me receiving upwards of 0.5". So, a nice coating should suffice. I've got my snowboard out and ready to go...haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much lake effect and lots of thaws affecting them up there too. Many quitting the sled hobby because the winters have been so poor. The economy of the Tug is taking a beating. yeah my sledding (or chasing snow to do it) is not what it used to be....TONS of miles in vehicles towing trailers n sleds to get some miles in. I spread my love of motorsports out to include a HD Street Glide and a Kawi Teryx UTV that get plenty more chances at being used. I wish it werent that way, but like you suggest, many of us are just not putting what we did into the sleds anymore. Tugs/upstate NY economy was hurting before the lean years as the taxes up there knocked the stuffing outta local economies and small towns. Throw some bad snow years onto lean times (oh and a pandemic)....and the pic is not so rosey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoralRed Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Here are some eye-poppers from State College NWS. I wish they had stated the departures for all the places. January 2023 was quite a month when it came to weather. Unfortunately things didn't go as people here hoped: Williamsport had an average temperature of 37.5 degrees, which was the second warmest January on record. Record was 40.2 degrees in 1932. Harrisburg had an average temperature of 39.7 degrees, which was the third warmest January on record. Record was 42.5 degrees in 1932, and 39.8 degrees in 1950. Altoona had an average temperature of 37.3 degrees, which was 8.9 degrees above normal. Bradford had an average temperature of 32.9 degrees, which was 9.8 degrees above normal. Johnstown had an average temperature of 34.6 degrees, which was 8.3 degrees above normal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad pattern?….It certainly wasn’t something else… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed we did not get enough to push us into the 39.8 tie (at MDT). FWIW, a non-scientific comment that CXY is surely way above 40 for their average.

We all want snow Blizz...we really do. At least I think all of us are snow lovers. However, the weather will be the weather. And this is a weather forum...all types of weather should be open for free discussion. If this was a record or near record snowy winter...or even just a cold winter, believe me, we'd be talking about it. But it's not. It's been very warm with very little snow. So, as weather enthusiasts, that's what we have to talk about. I won't put others accountable for their posts, but I'll freely share my thoughts - I'm not going to stop talking about whatever weather happens to be occurring. And if we torch the next few weeks, I'm going to talk about it. And if we're challenging records, I'm going to embrace it. I love extreme weather...sure, I'd rather it be extreme on the cold and snowy side and will celebrate WHEN that happens. Rain, snow, warmth, cold, etc...it's all weather. Go back in the thread to the few days surrounding Christmas. There were a TON of posts "celebrating" the cold snap. Again, not speaking for others but the posts spoke for themselves. Please, keep on hunting the next snow...you are free and encouraged to do so. Meanwhile, I'll continue to discuss the weather we're dealing with now. And I'm going to enjoy doing so. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chuckle when CXY gets brought into the disco, cause we all know they run warm. Even when the mean truly is warm - it just skews the reality. Thank goodness most here know it.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Well, it looks like my prediction from last week of MDT ending as the third warmest January on record was correct, just barely. But, my prediction of us getting measurable snowfall last night was not. Radar looked half decent through the night but it just wasn't materializing on the ground. Absolutely nothing at my house. Surprised to hear Nut got some out towards the northeastern part of the county. Well, things look to be a bit boring for a while. Should give me time to present my MU snowfall study that I've been promising for weeks but haven't yet delivered on haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
