Central PA Winter 2022/2023


 Share

Recommended Posts

Early obs, temp just shy of 28ºF with 24ºF dewpoint. That’s up a couple degrees from being down as low as 26ºF earlier in the evening.

CTP has expanded the winter weather advisory to the west bank of the Susquehanna (for 1-3” in the new counties), and also hoisted high wind watches in the NW and Laurels zones + Bedford/Blair in the I-99 corridor for 50-60 mph gusts and expanded the wind chill watch off the Laurels to also include Southern Centre (UNV), Blair (AOO), Huntingdon and Fulton counties. Like I said earlier, I anticipate wind chill advisories to be eventually hoisted for the rest of the area. 

Gonna be a wild 48hrs of observing here. Advisory for 2-4”, Wind chill watch for down to -30ºF wind chills, and high wind watch for 50-60mph gusts. I don’t recall seeing wind chill headlines like that here even during the cold shots of 13/14 and 14/15. The watch portion in the Laurels is for -35ºF chills.

I think it’s just a matter of time until more counties are added to the CTP Advisory.

If you lay in cold bathwater and take a piss it will eventually warm your feet even if you don't move, mixing to equalize

Nah...that guy has a sweatshirt on. Too soft for me.

A mix of snow/sleet here at work, enough that the snow is blowing on the roads. Win! (though it still hasn't snowed at home this season...I'm not at home right now :) )

I should have known better.   Tank top would have been more appropriate
