A Season In The Life Of A Central PA Winter Part 1:

This is an adaptation from the previous versions of "A Day In the Life Of..." - for this edition, let's take a sneak peek to see what happens during a typical winter season. Also, some content will include some posters who aren't currently active for whatever reason, but they need to be included to get the full picture. There are active posters not in this part that will be included in Part 2. Due to the scope including an entire season, this installment will include through the end of a calendar year. Part 2 (coming soon) will start in January and run through the remainder of the season) 

Finally, I dedicate this to @Blizzard of 93 who has made a few special requests and I'd like to honor him with this in recognition of his willing today's storm over most of our neighborhoods. 

  • August 28th: @paweatherspots the 540 line edging south from the Arctic Circle. Meanwhile, the current HI in Maytown is 104 and I swear I'm hallucinating while reading his post
  • September 14th: @Bubbler86 shares that the .03" of rain that fell in Rouzerville was his first measurable rainfall since May 2nd. I'm guessing he really lives in Death Valley
  • September 19th: A strong cold front is set to move through later that night. @canderson bungee straps his trash can to his car. He then moves the can inside as he's fearful his car will also blow away
  • September 20th: MDT's top wind gust was 22 mph
  • September 28th: @Blizzard of 93 posts the GFS showing snow over Yellowstone. He announces that PA snow can't be far behind. I wonder how big that behind is
  • October 9th: @Mount Joy Snowman provides a daily update on the nation's high and low temps. The infamous Peter Sinks sunk to 19
  • October 17th: @paweather is excited about Halloween snow. This is the scariest thing for the season, I mutter
  • October 28th: PSU loses to Ohio State. Again. Afterwards, Franklin announces that despite falling to OSU 35-6 at Beaver Stadium, his Nittany Lions are one of the top teams in the country. By "country" I assume he means a picturesque farm field outside of Port Matilda
  • November 2nd: I share MU's Winter Forecast. It includes a prediction for 25 to 50% normal snowfall for the season. Inside, @Blizzard of 93is in need of medical attention
  • November 3rd: @Atomixwxchallenges @canderson to...eh, I'll keep this clean
  • November 5th: @anothermanlaments the misfortunes of the Eagles loss to the Commanders. Who then exactly is..."the other man...or men?"
  • November 8th: @sauss06 asks @candersonif he lost power during the overnight windstorm. He forgot that @candersonwas on his weekly trip to Broadway in Manhattan
  • November 14th: The 0z GFS shows a stripe of pink and purples over Central PA at 384 hours. @Blizzard of 93is the one who shared it...not that anyone is surprised
  • November 14th: The 6z GFS shows temps in the 70s at hour 378. @Blizzard of 93announces that there's still time for this to trend better. I'm reading and saying out loud "Blizz, I got something for you to trend on"
  • November 16th: @Bubbler86 gets down to 26 in R-Ville. I only get down to 35 in Maytown
  • November 22nd: The entire run of all OP models show zero wintry precip for the duration of their runs. @Blizzard of 93 says "We'll be tracking soon" - I say "Track this" and hope that my HR team doesn't hear me
  • November 27th: The Thanksgiving high temp at MDT was 69. This is warmer than Memorial Day's reading of 67.
  • December 3rd: @Yardstickgozinyaposts an adorable picture outside of his house. I examine his name and only now does the lightbulb go off to what his name actually says/implies. I burst out laughing
  • December 5th: The first snow of the season falls for most in our thread outside of Lanco. @Superstormreports 5" in New England. Superstorm is in New England...a lot
  • December 7th: @pasnownuttalks about parsing the tellies. I look up to find out exactly what a "tellie" is. 
  • December 13th: @Blizzard of 93shares a GFS clown map at hour 240 showing pinks and purples over Central PA. There's no colors over the southern tier. Undaunted, Blizz proclaims that this looks great for all of Central PA.
  • December 13th: I say "huh?" while reading Blizz's post
  • December 15th: @MAG5035gives a detailed look at the rest of December and shares that there's no chance of a white Christmas outside of the snow belt areas.
  • December 15th: About 3 minutes after @MAG5035post, @Blizzard of 93shares a map valid December 23rd showing the tiniest sliver of grey over Syracuse. He suggests that this could trend well for us just in time for Christmas. I choke on my egg nog. 
  • December 17th: @Porscheshares a gorgeous sunrise over Shady Maple. Last time I ate there, I was in a lousy ass Ford Escort. 
  • December 22nd: As a follow up to his post from December 15th, @MAG5035provides an update that includes a verification of his thoughts from a week earlier and then proceeds to share that he still sees no wintry threats on the horizon
  • December 22nd: About 3 minutes after @MAG5035post, @Blizzard of 93produces a snow map showing a little grey over northern PA on December 30th. He asks @MAG5035 what his thoughts are on the "threat"... @MAG5035conveniently never responds
  • December 25th: About 16 members wish everyone else a Merry Christmas. I have this vision of Mary in Christmas Vacation saying "hey, that's my name"
  • December 30th: @Blizzard of 93December 30th "threat" ends up being a brief rain shower with temps in the mid 50s
  • December 31st: @Mount Joy Snowman @candersonboth announce that they're feeling no pain. 
  • December 31st: I'm feeling pain. My pain is that just before New Year's @Blizzard of 93posts yet another 384 hour snow map. He announces that he's gassing up his snow blower and ready to start tracking!

To Be Continued...

And now - presenting Part 2 of our typical winter season full of snow maps, snow maps, more snow maps...and...snow maps. Being in the "heart" of winter...this is significantly longer than part 1. 

Disclaimer: No negative, malicious, or otherwise hurtful intent is intended in this diddy. I try to balance realism and fun without coming across as vindictive. If I offend you, I apologize in advance - 

  • January 1st: @Bubbler86 reports an overnight low of 27 at 5:38am. Why is anyone up at this hour on New Year's morning?
  • January 1st: @mahantango#1 reports an overnight low of 16. I swear, for a guy who claims to love hot weather...he's in the wrong location
  • January 1st: @Blizzard of 93 must have liked what he saw from the overnight and early morning model runs. He assaults us with snow maps from the GFS, ICON, IKEA, EURO, GGEM, UKMET, UPMC, NAM, NRA, and by this point...I've made my way to the medicine cabinet.
  • January 6th: The first tangible, significant threat is now under 120 hours. The day features 227 posts and 763 snow maps
  • January 7th: Our storm is now modeled at 12z to be a cutter by every model except for the Euro. @Blizzard of 93 pulls out his "winter handbook" to explain why the Euro has the right idea. I mutter "Blizz STFU"
  • January 7th: Our storm is now modeled at 18z to be a cutter by every model except for the GFS. @Blizzard of 93 pulls out his "winter handbook" to explain why the GFS has the right idea. I mutter "Blizz STFU"
  • January 8th: All models now show the low tracking over Chicago. @Blizzard of 93suggests that with nearly 4 days left, large changes in track can occur. I agree- I envision this heading over Sioux Falls.
  • January 8th: With such an intense cutter expected, @candersonmakes a post concerning the winds behind the storm. He suggest area-wide sustained winds of 50 mph with gusts to 80 mph. 
  • January 9th: Our storm has shifted SE by a couple of hundred miles. With no CAD evident, it's still a rainstorm. @Blizzard of 93shows one ensemble member of one model run that runs under us. He states that there's a distribution of cutters vs coastals. I wonder where this dude got his education. 
  • January 11th: Our storm brings about 1" of rain with temps in the 40s to near 50. Behind the storm, winds gust to 30 mph. I want to quote @candersonprediction but decide not to.
  • January 12th: @CarlislePaWxposts that he finished the previous year .000034" less rainfall than the year prior. 
  • January 13th: @Mount Joy Snowmansays that the nation's low that morning was -36 in Peter Sinks. I wonder...how does Peter sink into anything at a -36 temp?
  • January 15th: With no real wintry threat looming, @mitchnick cancels winter
  • January 15th: About 3 minutes after Mitch's post, @Blizzard of 93 scolds Mitch with a patented "lol...we're really canceling winter in the middle of January! See you at 18z lol" I mutter "Blizz STFU"
  • January 17th: @MAG5035provides a lengthy dissertation of the coming pattern and suggests that by the end of the month, snow chances will improve significantly
  • January 17th: @mitchnick replies to MAG and agrees 100%. Especially now that he no longer lives on the tarmac at Thurgood Marshall. 
  • January 18th: @Bubbler86 apologizes to Eagles fans for their tough loss
  • January 18th: @anotherman says "Dallas can go to hell"
  • January 20th: @Festusmentions the upcoming solar eclipse and the exact degree of totality in Manheim
  • January 24th: The GFS now shows a storm off the SE coast on the 28th. According to @Blizzard of 93 winter handbook, this will adjust NW and be a huge hit
  • January 24th: Same hour run, but the Euro shows the storm east of Bermuda. @Blizzard of 93winter handbook says that the Euro ingested bad data
  • January 25th: @MAG5035 says that there is nothing about the pattern that would support this storm from affecting us at all. 
  • January 25th: About 3 minutes after MAG's post, @Blizzard of 93 states that we still have a solid chance of at least an advisory event. Hmmm - what to believe here.. @MAG5035 or @Blizzard of 93? 
  • January 27th: The pattern completely squashed the "storm" threat. @Blizzard of 93is silent. 
  • January 30th: @mahantango#1drops down to 5 degrees. For such a warminsta...no seriously, why does this guy live there? @mahantango#1 then posts 3-4 of the most beautiful pictures of his countryside and now it all makes sense. 
  • February 5th: A weak NW flow system is progged to roll through on the 7th
  • February 5th: @GrandmasterB thinks this system will juice up. Speaking of juicing up, I fondly recall his father Al eating Tang Sandwiches on Married with Children.
  • February 6th: @MAG5035 posts to say that pretty much the entire LSV should expect a couple of fluffy inches
  • February 6th: About 3 minutes after MAG's post, @Blizzard of 93 posts 26 snow maps in the span of 4 minutes. None of them show anyone getting more than 3"
  • February 6th: @Blizzard of 93 says that the LSV could get upgraded to a warning. I check the time, and as I suspected...Blizz posted his comment at exactly 4:20
  • February 7th: @Coop_Mason posts a picture of the road in front of his crib with 1" already down. Other than @Bubbler86no one else is even reporting flurries yet
  • February 7th: The weak POS system basically skips over Lanco, with no one in the county measuring more than a few tenths of an inch
  • February 8th: @pasnownut parsed the overnight tellies and deems that tracking season is back in full force. I forget again what a tellie is

  • February 10th: @Superstormreports 7" of new snow. In New Hampshire. 
  • February 11th: A quick perusal of the MA LR thread is enlightening - Stormchaser Chuck shared that the next few years might trend cooler because we're seeing more cumulus clouds over the past 2 years. Chuck was spot on in his assessment that we were NOT going into an epic pattern in February 2024. I vow to keep tabs on the CU field going forward.
  • February 13th: Excitement builds in our thread as a new threat has emerged, centered on the 19th.
  • February 13th: @Bubbler86 posts a few snow maps from the 6z runs

  • February 13th: @mitchnickuses analogs and history and suggests that this is the one
  • February 13th: I get up to check what's poppin' in the thread. I count a total of 46 words and 49 snow maps since I had gone to bed the night before
  • February 15th: After a couple of days of excitement and more snow maps than the total population of China, our storm looks to miss south
  • February 16th: @Storm Clouds @canderson @Atomixwx all cancel winter. @Atomixwx does so in his non-traditional style or wording. 
  • February 16th: @Blizzard of 93 responds and says "lol...you people are unbelievable! MDT is only 17" behind normal as of today. (1" actual snowfall vs 18" normal) You act like it's bad a bad winter, lol! Get a grip people, there is a lot of winter remaining, lol" I mutter "Blizz STFU"
  • February 18th:  Our "storm" drops 1" of snow in Raleigh-Durham NC before heading out to sea. Raleigh-Durham now leads Lanco for seaonal snowfall, 1" - T. 
  • February 20th: @Superstormreports 4" of new snow. In Connecticut. 
  • February 22nd: @MAG5035looks to the final week of February and beginning of March and isn't enthused
  • February 23rd: Our thread has now gone OT to baseball, basketball, and some R related material

  • February 26th: @Blizzard of 93 likes what he sees on the GFS and pulls out the "storm will manufacture it's own cold air" shit out of his winter handbook. 850s are +6 in Marysville during the storm.
  • February 29th: On a day that only happens every 4 years, it's just 1 day away from JI's February 30th blizzard call.
  • March 2nd: PSU Hoffman essentially admits that he was wrong, and cancels the remainder of winter
  • March 2nd: PSU Hoffman's post gets no quote this time from @Blizzard of 93
  • March 2nd: @Itstrainingtime mentions PSU Hoffman's quote to Blizz and asks why no response?
  • March 2nd: @Blizzard of 93 responds to me and says "LOL, he doesn't live in our area...different thread. And he's probably wrong. We're still tracking!" At this point, I'm convinced that Blizz is equipped with a non-negativity shield around him. He's infallible to bad news. 
  • March 7th: Our thread has now lost a lot of seasonal posters as the day's high temp was 77. Talk of sports, Pillow, Broadway, and CC abound
  • March 8th: It's made publicly known to us that Met winter finished as the 2nd warmest ever in DuBois
  • March 8th: It's made publicly knows to us that Met winter finished as the 3rd warmest ever at ABE

  • March 13th: @MAG5035 posts that outside of a late season fluke or something in the mountains, it might be curtains for the rest of us
  • March 13th: About 3 minutes after MAG's post, @Blizzard of 93 shows a map of a storm along the east coast at 384 hours. It's an impressive looking storm, and he says "lol, I will never give up!"
  • March 13th: @Bubbler86 responds to @Blizzard of 93 and eloquently lets him know that it's a rainstorm
  • March 19th: Spring officially arrives. The thread only has about 10-20 posts a day. 
  • March 22nd: @Blizzard of 93 posts a map valid April 7th that shows about 1" of snow over the Adirondacks. Somehow...someway...he's going to try and will it down this way...

My heartfelt thanks to each of you. I've been a part of this community for 14 years and coming online each day is akin to eating comfort food. Sometimes I know what is coming and from whom it's coming before it even comes. :)  We've had our struggles and plenty of tension, especially recently, but without you and this thread, my daily life would be less that what it is.

Here's hoping that actual winters are better than the one that I portrayed above...

  • March 8th: @Jns2183 - shares a litany of stats on temp anomalies at MDT. After I've read through it, I'm not sure what the original point was
  • March 13th: @MAG5035 posts that outside of a late season fluke or something in the mountains, it might be curtains for the rest of us
  • March 13th: About 3 minutes after MAG's post, @Blizzard of 93 shows a map of a storm along the east coast at 384 hours. It's an impressive looking storm, and he says "lol, I will never give up!"
  • March 13th: @Bubbler86 responds to @Blizzard of 93 and eloquently lets him know that it's a rainstorm
  • March 19th: Spring officially arrives. The thread only has about 10-20 posts a day. 
  • March 22nd: @Blizzard of 93 posts a map valid April 7th that shows about 1" of snow over the Adirondacks. Somehow...someway...he's going to try and will it down this way...

My heartfelt thanks to each of you. I've been a part of this community for 14 years and coming online each day is akin to eating comfort food. Sometimes I know what is coming and from whom it's coming before it even comes. :)  We've had our struggles and plenty of tension, especially recently, but without you and this thread, my daily life would be less that what it is.

Here's hoping that actual winters are better than the one that I portrayed above...

Mike

This made my lunch break fantastic!
Might need Watches for the LSV if the Euro is right & the other models beef up a little!
We need HRRR to show that before they will consider. When does the next extended one come out
