And there is nothing wrong with tracking. I hope no one gives you grief...grief is being given in other subs and I don't understand why. Sure, the odds of something happening at the end of March/early April are really small...but that's not a reason to not invest in your interest with the right perspective. I wasn't expecting nearly 9" of snow on 4/6/1982 but that's exactly what happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cold that followed is what really impressed me with that one as we dipped into the single digits post storm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted Wednesday at 10:35 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:35 AM 36 when I left the house. Without having checked any models, and understanding such an event is extremely unlikely, it would be quite a fitting way for this winter to put a bow on the season by hammering people with an April Fools snowstorm. Why not ha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Wednesday at 01:34 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:34 PM Today, back in 1958 Chester and Berks Counties were in the middle of the 2nd largest snowstorm in history. Morgantown received 50 inches of snow and Devault 49 inches of heavy wet snow. Nothing like that in the forecast…. but a reminder it can still snow into April. The next couple of days will likely be our mildest over the next couple of weeks with high temperatures well into the 60’s. Average high temperatures today are near 50 degrees. Rain chances increase by tomorrow afternoon with some spots seeing up to 0.75” of much needed rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either sniffing out the greatest winter run of spring storms or is lost, again . Here's what Kyle Elliott has to say about all of this: @MUweather With so much snowstorm hype returning, I encourage all my followers to NOT trust the GFS. 2-3" snowstorms in late Mar/early Apr are a rarity in south-central PA. 2-3' ones have never occurred in the 1900s or 2000s. The GFS's track record has been abysmal this winter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not the first time it was insistent on a big snow event when no other model showed it (granted, the Euro did for a run or two with this one) only to cave after many runs of deep, deep snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As JB posted this morning, if the GFS is alone, toss it. If the Euro agrees and its within 5 days, it has merit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccuChris Posted Wednesday at 06:09 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:09 PM It is amazing that in 2025 there could be such a difference in patterns portrayed for week 2 between the GFS and Euro. The GFS says temps in the 30s and Euro says 70s-80s next week…wild! Whats a difference of 50 degrees among friends?!. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cold that followed is what really impressed me with that one as we dipped into the single digits post storm. It was an April storm that would have made January proud - midday temps in the mid 20s with tons of blowing and drifting snow. The only thing out of the ordinary from a true winter storm was the late sunset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already gusty (from the south) this afternoon here. There was,a mountain fire this morning after 10am near the Pillow gap. At least 3 fire companies responded and had it contained and put out in a little more than an hour. Glad they got it out, the wind was really gusting at that time. https://www.abc27.com/local-news/stupid-burning-causes-large-brush-fire-in-upper-dauphin-county/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_abc27_News&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2pcJMtNuuwl7elHDSXZ7h48v3Hgn_Vgu3xgO5MW9PPpsGJwSOu0fyIibo_aem_764ZkpevSjpH_JGGhnhCVQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
