Must be a misprint above. Those recent frosts and the 1/4" of snow the other day have the grass siting back and relaxing until April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday must have been one of those "tales of 2 different weather days" between us - it was sunny/mostly sunny here with temps in the 40s. Nothing at all like what was forecast for most of last week. And as you mentioned, not windy either. It was downright nice in the sun on Saturday. Edit: Just checked my daily numbers and it was between 40 and 43 at home between 10am and 4pm. That's when the slide began in earnest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area of snow which hit MJS in western PA clipped us as it went by to the south. I also had FRZ that morning with a glaze forming on the mailbox and trees. We did not have much sun here so that was probably a big reason for the temp difference. The high was only 38 here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had severe experts from the overall forum in our thread discussing the significance of the threat that afternoon. Blizz and I got in an argument earlier in the week (event went down on a Saturday) where he said there was no way temps would reach the 60s let along the 70s...well, we almost made it to 80. It was humid, too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was humid, too. It has actually reached 69 or higher more than 50% of days in Feb. What may be even more surprising is that more that 25% of Jan days have reached it as well. Today's record is from 1997 and the second warmest Feb day behind the one you speak of. Between the 2 months only 3 days have never reached 60. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably looking at advisories of the 50mph gust variety with this, outside of Cambria/Somerset which may have just enough for a warning. High res stuff doesn’t look extremely crazy. 850mb winds are only getting to the 45-55kt range overnight tomorrow after the frontal passage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Along with the snow threat, the Wind Advisory only goes to 7AM Thursday but winds in much of PA are still fierce well into Thursday on the 18Z HRRR with sustained well into the 20's and gusts probably near 40. Gust Wind Chills would range from 5-10 degrees if near 40 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
