Voyager Posted December 14 Author Share Posted December 14 1 hour ago, CarlislePaWx said: Guys, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the current barometric pressure. Here at the moment it is 30.91" or 1047 millibars! This is the highest pressure I've seen in years. At the very least I know we never got this high during all of last winter. One very interesting thing is that frequently in these types of setups where very high pressure (usually closer to 30.70") is present, and precip is forecast to arrive approximately 24 hours later, freezing rain is oftentimes the predominant p-type. For me, this area is usually the last to give up the cold when there is cold air damming. I cannot speak as to how much snow I might see since I am literally 1 mile south of I-81, but when it does go over to rain, there may be a prolonged period of freezing rain. (Everything I have just talked about is referencing my location of central Cumberland county.) I rarely look at pressure on my station, but this post prompted me to do so. I recorded a high of 30.91 earlier myself. It's since fallen to 30.87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 Impressive chill out this way today. Sitting at 33. I imagine a number of places will fail to get above freezing. As others have mentioned, the lack of wind is much welcomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted December 14 Author Share Posted December 14 NWS Binghamton just issued winter advisories to go along with the ones Pittsburgh issued earlier. I'm guessing CTP will follow suit for some counties sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted December 14 Share Posted December 14 The record high for 12/17 at MDT is 60. That number is in jeopardy at warmer locales around the area though MDT has been running low lately. MDT is actually down to 28 right now and THV is only down to 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I was sort of joking that I was in the advisory for what I think will be some west snow flakes rain. Of course the northern part of my county has totally different weather @~2500 feet above elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, closer to 2.5". I'm the next county south for the expanded WWA...IF they expand it! Pressure holding steady now at 30.81". I'll just keep saying watch out for unexpected (prolonged) freezing rain in the advisory areas. I'm down to 26 with a dew point of 17. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
