JTA66 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Gorgeous early spring morning out there -- sun shining, birds chirping, squirrels frolicking, yellow jacket buzzing, snow shovel fossilizing due to years of inactivity, 43F. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 That strange light in the sky is indeed sun today! Today should be our last well above normal temperature day for a while. We should see temperatures closer to normal as we finish 2023 and move into 2024. It looks dry till about Thursday morning or so when we might see a chance of some snow showers. Records for today: High 73 (1984) / Low -2 (1917) / Rain 3.48" (1901) / Snow 4.7" (1935) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 With just a couple days remaining here in December we are well on our way to finishing the month as the 4th warmest final month of the year. Of note is that 7 of the top 10 warmest December's have all occurred just since 2001! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a few discrete threats in first 10 days of Jan....both very marginal for now but at least it isn't a complete shutout pattern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 It kept misting and drizzling last night but finally finished up with 0.37" for the day (2.15" for the 2-day event). I am a tenth of an inch short of 10" of rain for the month of December (am @ 9.90"). Bottomed out at 44 this morning, and like others, was shocked to see that yellow orb in the sky this morning (was expecting some lingering stratus/fog but that was not to be). Currently 52 and partly sunny with fluffy cumulus and dp 42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I informed Elliot from the Eagles and he is ready to kick that 61 yarder to win a game for snow right now. By the way Elliot is from my alma mater University of Memphis as well as Gainwell. The UM Tigers play in 30 minutes in the Liberty Bowl. I told Elliot to kick the ball for last nights 00Z GFS run like it is for the game and playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The party will start after the third week in January as I have stated the past three weeks or so. MY past history with this type of pattern indicates that the cold air must get back to Canada by Valentines day. When the clippers come in succession, so does the sustainable cold air. It will take time. Patience man patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 hell I am still in the game for the Jan 7-11 storm event. 2-4 in of snow is still on the table in the LR even though it keeps disappearing every other run. May not be much of anything but it is still something. I compare this possible snow event to like a typical Pearl Harbor day snow event - just a month late 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is a very different beast we are dealing with and the Pacific is simply going against all historical data and manhandling the overall N Hem pattern. Nino can't even act like a Nino anymore. It is downrght alarming to be perfectly honest. I haven't given up completely. Like I said, I still expect a late season hit as is what we are growing used to these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap March/April slop snow doesn't count. Just give me at least a clipper (1-3") or 2-4" before March will do...simple things seem to be so complicated these days.

ChescoWx Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 We almost hit freezing for the 1st time in a week across a couple spots this AM with Warwick Township at 32.3 and East Nantmeal at 32.7. Better chance tonight for widespread freezing temps. A chillier day today with increasing clouds and a couple flurries or sprinkles possible early this PM. While it will feel colder than it has been it will only be dropping to near normal levels to close out December.
