Mount Joy Snowman Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Got back from West Virginia yesterday and was disappointed to see only .03” in the gauge. Lord knows Morgantown got a lot more than that ha. Another smooth victory brings our all-time record on our annual road trip games to 14-2. Remarkable. Low of 63 last night and I was lucky enough to catch the edge of that line of storms to the tune of .06”. Looks like a stunning week ahead. Good to be back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your efforts to suggest the "days of yore" were any different falls short. The record high for the month of March at Bradford was first recorded on March 30, (you guessed it) 1986.

It used to get into the 20s in Bradford in August (1982 and 1968 also got to 26 and 29 respectively on the same date, so it wasn’t just a one off), and now we’re marveling at mid to upper 30s in early September, which, Blizz is right, are pretty rare these days. 36 on or before September 3 has occurred in: 1958, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 (yep, that’s 9 years out of 10), 1976, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2004, and 2009. So break that down into 3 equal periods: 1958-1979: 12 of 22 years got to 36 on or before 9/3 1980-2001: 12 of 22 years got to 36 on or before 9/3 2002-2023: 2 of 22 years (and none of the last 14) got to 36 on or before 9/3 Oh, and your March record high on 3/30/86. It was matched in 2012, a full week earlier in the spring season. (But you knew this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew what you were trying to do with your original post, so don't run away from it. And yes, I knew the March record was matched in 2012 ( which is why I said was "first recorded") just you like you know it was also matched in 1994. So thanks for proving my original point that your effort to diminish the frost forecast is dwarfed by "days of yore" when during the same year a monthly record low was recorded, a monthly record high was recorded then matched 1 decade then 3 decades later. P.s. Enjoy future conversations on the subject. I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a little more concerned that you’re using one rogue day in March almost 40 years ago to refute the fact that fall comes later than it used to.

ChescoWx Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 A great weather week ahead as we start September. We should see high temps start below normal and moderate to near normal in the upper 70's by the end of the week. Nightime lows will reach the 40's in some areas tonight and especially tomorrow night in the lower locales of the county. Our next rain chances wait till Friday night. Chester County records for today: High 105 degrees in Phoenixville (1954) / Low 40 degrees at Kennett Square (1909) / Rain 2.24" at Phoenixville (2006) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a little more concerned that you’re using one rogue day in March almost 40 years ago to refute the fact that fall comes later than it used to. You're not wrong. I have records kept from 1976 to today - there are a healthy number of lows in the 30s in my hood from late August and the following weeks. Snow fell as early as the first 2 weeks of October on 2 occasions. (Including a World Series snow in Baltimore on October 9th, 1979) Imagine it snowing in Baltimore that early today. We all freaked out when it snowed here 3 weeks later for the Halloween snow. And it really didn't feel that special at the time. September has definitely become more of a summer month over time, at least that's my opinion. Now April, on the other hand... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I can also see the other side, that PA is in a stretch of fantastic early fall weather and fretting over what is or what used to be (perceived or actual) is secondary to the absolutely perfect weather now and for the foreseeable future. You could also make the “who the hell wants to wake up to 25 degrees in August” argument, even if it wasn’t ever that cold imby or yours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 If we're lucky, the cold shots will keep coming thru the winter followed by warmer periods preceeded by snowfall. The last 2 Cansips runs (for the winter period) sorta show that as possible based on 5H and surface temps for December and January. Cfs2 is now saying it's possible for December too, but I won't be shocked if I get banned for mentioning the Cfs2. The place to be this winter will be north methinks, at least more than usual. Thus, Bubbler and I will be frustrated a little more this year if the Cansips is closer to right than wrong. But we'll get our chances like everyone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much of modeling that I love to do, I agree with those that say everyone poo pooing on the winter is probably the best sign we have seen in a while. Agree that LR models are not good though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
