It’s pretty nice up here. 60s but partly sunny. Feels like fall. Tons of folks outside at the mountain and Rec Path in town. Bummer down there.

The GRAF was 3 for 3 Friday 5 pm - Saturday 10 pm. .89" rainfall from 2 events detailed by Graf 6 hrs. pre-event while the mets. at NWS played a dismal second fiddle. The first event on Friday pm was hilarious as the SPC had a Watch posted and the NWS gave a 60% prob. of storms. Graf said, "sorry folks, it ain't gonna happen" It did not happen. I do not expect 3 for 3 to continue but that was a very impressive 30 hr. period for Graf.

Gorgeous day for a ball game at Citi Field.

Hope

And raining again.

Another day and another heavy thunderstorm in the Valley.

Picked up .67" yesterday. Storms formed right over us but really exploded once past us. Areas south and east of us picked up between 2 & 4" plus hail and strong winds.

Cloudy and raining. Cold Idiot coc

Sun is out this morning, should see 70's today. Even tho it has been cool during the day, min's have been hovering around 60, keeping the avg temps just AN the last couple days. Cloudy wx will do that.

Looks like we should all move to Chester County to escape the inferno. .

Here's where I think the issue lies. The graph is based on where the collapsing rock/glacier hit the valley (around 4,300 meters above sea level). The bedrock, glacier was about 5,200 meters. So, the graph is correct in that the region has been warming, but it is not the mean temperature of the actual glacier. Nevertheless, preceding the collapse, temperatures had reached 90° or above in Kathmandu. At standard lapse rates, that would suggest readings in the middle 40s at the altitude of the glacier. During the June 1-August 25 period, Kathmandu had 77 days with highs of 80° or above. At standard lapse rates, that would amount to highs of 35° or above at 5,200 meters. So, at least using the standard lapse rates and Kathmandu's data, most of the summer days saw at least some melting where the collapse took place.

Sun out here and it feels good in the sun but quite cool if not in the sun. We'll see how long the sun last though before clouds start developing

Got .73'' from a morning t storm around 11 AM,still cloudy and spitting rain.

One of the hot spots is New Ulm with 105. For Sunday, September 6, 2026 1881 - Forest fires in Michigan and Ontario resulted in 'Yellow Day' in the northeastern U.S. Twenty villages in Michigan burned, and a total of 500 persons were killed.

(David Ludlum) 1929 - Iowa's earliest snow of record occurred as a few flakes were noted at 9 AM at Alton. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Thunderstorms produced more than seven inches of rain in Georgia. Four persons drowned, and two others suffered injury, as three couples attempted to cross Mills Stone Creek at Echols Mill in their automobile. Smoke from forest fires in California and Oregon spread across Utah into western Colorado. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Unseasonably cool weather prevailed across the north central and northeastern U.S. Thirty cities reported record low temperatures for the date, including Saint Joseph MO with a reading of 38 degrees. A low of 44 degrees at Indianapolis IN was their coolest reading of record for so early in the season. The mercury dipped to 31 degrees at Hibbing MN and Philips WI. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - An early afternoon thunderstorm produced wind gusts to 104 mph at Winterhaven, FL, flipping over four airplanes, and damaging five others. The high winds also damaged a hangar and three other buildings. A cold front produced strong winds and blowing dust in the Northern High Plains, with gusts to 54 mph reported at Buffalo SD. Powerful Hurricane Gabrielle and strong easterly winds combined to create waves up to ten feet high along the southern half of the Atlantic coast.

The temperature chart is consistent with the pictures of the collapse site, posted above, which show evidence of both short and long-term melting. The glacier itself is a remnant of a much larger glacier. The info I posted above also shows that local glacier losses have accelerated since 2000. I don't see evidence that the cooler and distant Everest site is relevant.

That give's me a dreadful feeling. We are about 40 years ahead of schedule. .

When I move to Mt Airy where I'll have an actual yard, I'm planning to get a decent weather station. Looking at an Ecowitt Wittboy Pro. Any others I should consider? Trying to stay under 300 Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk
