Central PA Autumn 2023

Just saw this irresistible picture which is far more interesting with its blemishes and colors than the typical moon shot. Definitely zoom it up and look closely when you get a chance as photographer advises. It reminded me an atmosphere like ours is a wonderful thing to have.

It does not seem like a place for any advanced life from Earth to live however nor does anywhere else in our solar system, I'm afraid.

Thanks.  Pretty mixed news.  2-4AN is quite a deviation.   Surprised to see Philly averages more snow than some locations in the LSV.  Did not know that.   While realizing there is the potential for coastal scrappers, it is hard to think back to a lot of winters where Philly outdueled Lanco.

A lot of it could go either way with temps. and precip. So who knows. It could be a wild winter in some parts of Pa with these presumed coastals if the temp is just right.

Far southern locations of Adams and Cumberland back under a D1 and a large majority of the LSV back in to D0. 

 

 

Northeast Drought Summary

Temperatures were 2 to 4 degrees cooler than normal over the entire region, except for eastern New York. The moisture coming down from Canada largely missed the Northeast, leading to slightly below-normal precipitation. Central and western Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia received 5-25% of normal precipitation. Low soil moisture levels and precipitation deficits for the last few months led to abnormally dry (D0) expansion across eastern West Virginia, most of Maryland, southern Pennsylvania and south-central New Jersey.

During the 1991-2020 seasons here in Western Chester County we averaged 36.3" of snow

After a chance at least across Southern Chester County of some much needed rain today...a stretch of below normal temps will set in again today lasting for much of the next week before a warmup to above normal by next Thursday. Looking at the longer range from this point it looks like another cooling trend should start in by the end of next weekend and last through the Thanksgiving Holiday!
Records for today 74 (2020) / 16 (1973) / Rain 2.05" (1898) / Snow 0.1" (1987)

Philly can and has scored while Lancaster and Harrisburg are left dry. There is no better example of this than the Boxing Day 2010 event. Philly got over a foot of snow. Lancaster only got like 2".

No doubt but never thought they averaged more than areas of the LSV. I lived in Philly for a decade plus and it is rare.  Only explanation is the time period weather world used.  Quick research shows Lancaster averages 4-5" more per season long term.
