If I wanted this type of weather in mid-February I would move to Florida. I understand completely. I would much prefer wintry weather, but if it's not to be, I'm going to enjoy what we have. Isn't that what JB always says? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahantango#1 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Hit 70 today. Getting more sun now and with the sun angle increasing throughout each passing day as we head towards spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDreamTraveler Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 It's nice going out in a tshirt and shorts in winter lol. Today would have definitely felt way warmer if it hadn't been so warm all winter. But luckily for those looking for colder weather and a chance for snow things look a bit more hopeful in the future.

I hope you’re right. I didn’t see too much of that on the models definitely colder weather but not so much snowy weather which a lot of us want including me. Take me back to March 1993.

CarlislePaWx Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Fell just one-tenth of a degree shy of hitting 70 today. While that statement is true, going by official NWS rules, my high was only 69.4 degrees. Another amazingly beautiful day. Now that I think about it, today was the warmest day of the year so far. It also looks like despite the very brief arctic intrusion Friday afternoon and night, every day between tomorrow and Sunday is going to be above normal. Gotta go check on those numbers for this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Temp here at home managed to crack 70ºF (70.2) yesterday. Here was some of the climo for yesterday per CTP. Bradford and Williamsport obliterated their daily record. Quote .CLIMATE... Record, or near record, warmth occurred across central PA Wednesday afternoon. Here are the observed temperatures for February 15th and ranking for the date, along with existing record highs at a handful of climate sites across the area: Site Observed High Temp (Rank) Record (year) Harrisburg 69 (3rd) 74 (1954) Williamsport 72 (1st) 60 (1949) Altoona 72 (1st) 68 (1954) Bradford 66 (1st) 56 (1954) State College ?? 73 (1954) Observed low temperatures on February 15th were also near record warmth: Site Observed Low Temp (Rank) Record (year) Harrisburg 43 (T-2nd) 48 (1949) Williamsport 40 (2nd) 41 (1949) Altoona 46 (T-2nd) 48 (2018) Bradford 44 (1st) 41 (1967) Rainfall slated for today looks to come in two main parts.. a slug of rainfall that arrives around lunch time and lasts most of the afternoon and then another area associated with the frontal passage later overnight Thurs night/Fri morning. The stuff with the frontal passage may include some thunder but instability is likely to be elevated with low levels stable (cooler with the afternoon rain/clouds plus timing of FROPA later at night) in central/eastern PA. Latest HRRR that goes out that far (6z) tried to generate a little bit of CAPE in the Sus Valley right before frontal passage, likely trying to push a warm nose there. But again, I think convective elements are likely limited to potentially a few strikes/rumbles and maybe some gusty winds with the frontal passage.

My attempt at the top 5 worst purchases for winter 22/23 SO FAR. Not that I purchased, just in general. Not necessarily in order. 1-Snow Blower. 2-A prepaid contract for plowing your driveway. 3-A season long Ski Pass. 4-A contract for balanced heating charges (oil/gas/propane/electricity) based on 30-year norms. My overall heating bill is ~ 1/2 of what I was fearing. Lowest since I moved back in 2018 despite electricity and oil being more expensive. If one bought into one of those plans this year, they have lost hundreds if not over a thousand. 5-A large bag of ice melt/salt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good list - hard for me to come up with anything better or even what you have in a different order. I guess one could say that the ski pass for those who go to Roundtop MIGHT be a little lower...I only say that as it has gotten just cold enough at just the right times that they've been able to keep 65-75% of their trails open since late December. They've done better than the other 2 local resorts and I think mostly because almost all of their terrain receives minimal sun in January and February. Caveat is that they haven't been able to open the far left expert trails the entire season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Old record yesterday was 60 degrees. New record 72 degrees. As Mag, said we obliterated the old record Bub Snow blower purchase, but it will eventually get used. Back out fishing this morning till the rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spoken to a few people who said the resorts have done their best but skiing when it is 5-10 degrees AN is not what they are used to.

No offense to your snow blower purchase, that was the sarcastic one :-). People who bought the standard monthly billing plans for heating needs are the ones who got hurt the most. Re: if I had purchased that from my oil company, I would have paid about $1400 right now whereas I only paid about $800 buying on demand and I am sitting at 3/4 full on the tank so unlikely I purchase again this winter, They do not give you the $$$ back. It is a gamble that you can win or lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me think of another one...a chainsaw to make one of those ice sculptures. Take about a lot of work for little return when baby melts almost every day since Dec 27th.
