Lancaster's "other" official station at MU recorded a low of 6. That's 11 degrees warmer than MDT. That's remarkable.

Every local news outlet that I watch/see/follow in the Lancaster area refers to the MU readings as Lancaster's temp. Is there any other example of an area's official temp not being at the airport? LNS is never referred to by outlets that I see around here. @Mount Joy Snowman @pasnownut - do you have any clarification on this? 

No, other than to confirm what you're saying.  Millersville seems to be the unofficial official gatekeeper of Lancaster weather records.

I think as you state, news outlets us MU, but NWS and related often use LNS/Airport readings.  

In situs like today, microclimate/geographical diff's often lend a notable hand in what is observed, and what is shared.  

I shared, because mine is 100% legit (right at Little Chiques creek to shells run) , and most will likely not hear of it, cause I'm not official.  Just thought the numbers guys here would be impressed w/ it.  

where that reading took place was a low lying dip and for maybe 1-1.5 miles i was in - territory.  then as i got closer to Etown proper, i got back into the + side of the thermo.

Wow 9 years for CPA......I know its been pretty disappointing for a long time IMBY. Nuisance 4-6 inch snows.  I seem to be in one of the worst spots for big snowstorms nowadays. I consider big storms over a foot.  This 10 inch storm we just got is the best in several years. Big storms go to the North, South, East, and West of me mostly.

Just to add insult to injury (although it may actually be a blessing in disguise) but now I've got the flu. Wife got it first over the weekend, and of course now I picked it up. She's still home sick, so I guess I have a few days of feeling like I was hit by a freight train. This sucks...

Prayers you feel better.  Seems it has been going around for weeks now.

12Z GFS can't pull that moisture north for next Monday.  The zonal flow and lack of a trigger/something to carve out a trough is still a limiter. 

yeah NS still has some oomph left in it, but as troughing eases, something well timed may follow as we kiss the icebox of 25 goodbye.

I was thinking the post by @Jns2183 suggested it has never happened?  WWA's now in Florida down to Ocala.  

Daughter and her family left Palm Coast about an hour ago. Palm Coast is a little north of Daytona. Forecast is for lows tonight in the mid 30s but with winds out of the north up to 30mph. I think tomorrow or Thursday night the winds die down and the temp crashes into the 20s.

I am still onboard for something but cannot get much OP model approval so far but only checked the GFS so far at 12Z.  

I'll add that is one loops through the entire nooner GFS, one would not disapprove, as "bitter cold" is replaced w/ "cold enough", and vorts battle out in between.  

I approve...but whether I believe...like you, I'll stay interested.

Another U.S. location not used to a lot of snow, let alone Blizzard conditions:

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY/...
As of 615 AM Tuesday...

KEY MESSAGES:

 - A winter storm will impact eastern NC with heavy snow,
   dangerous cold, and strong winds

 - Snowfall amounts have been increased and now all of eastern
   NC is expected to reach warning criteria snowfall

Winter Storm Warnings have now been posted for all of eastern
NC for tonight. The developing offshore low will circulate very
moist air over the top of the arctic airmass. This will result
in widespread snow developing across the area this evening and
continuing for most of the overnight hours. The trend in the
models is for a continued slight inland movement of the heaviest
snow location with forecast amounts of >=3 inches covering a
very large portion of eastern NC. Based on this, the Winter
Storm Watch and Winter Weather Advisory have been upgraded to a
Winter Storm Warning.

As the right entrance region of the upper jet approaches and
ascent becomes maximized tonight, banded precipitation is likely
to occur which will lead to locally heavier snowfall amounts of
6+ inches. Right now it is very difficult to predict exactly
where these bands will form but they will most likely occur
along and just inland from the coast. Thermal profiles also
support periods of sleet occurring along the coast but still
expecting primarily snow to occur. The current snowfall forecast
has been increased and now is is calling for max amounts of 6-8
inches east of Highway 17. Gusty northerly winds will cause
considerable blowing and drifting of snow with blizzard
conditions possible along the Outer Banks where the strongest
winds and heavy snow will coincide. Cold ground temperatures
will allow the snow to rapidly accumulate which will make roads
snow covered and slick. No unnecessary driving is advised
tonight across the area. The snow should begin tapering off
around 9Z inland with accumulating snows expected to be over by
12z Wednesday.

Could be covid. Went around my family with flu symptoms. Feel better soon hopefully.
