Under the gun here...wild winds freight train and power flickered

5.75" now with moderate snow still falling. It's beginning to get blown around quite a bit. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

Tornado warning! Couplet went right over McGuire Air Force base

This is one hell of a squall line. Roaring winds with heavy rain; sounds like freight train outside.

Temp already down to 49F , we were at 61 before the squall.

Down to ~45F. About a ~17 degree drop in 45 minutes.

Let’s go about 5” here!!!!

Since the pre-El Nino composite has worked out 4 months in a row, here is April's preceding El Nino's that develop later in the year.. let's see if we can make it 5 matching months in a row

Yup, I had the backdoor open before the squall arrived and could hear the roar of the wind approaching. Classic low-topped squall line.

Oh no such a shame to hear may he rest in peace.

2023-2024 would like a word with you.

That squall line really delivered wow. Crazy winds associated with it, can’t ever remember seeing flashes in the distance from transformers blowing. You could hear the roar of the wind too before it was on top of us. Reminded me of the derecho a few years ago just without the lightning. Can’t believe we still have power

Power flickered and saw several power flashes in the distance. Peak gust to 56 mph.

Well, it's looking like the party's over here. The snow has quickly come to an end. Radar clearly shows a very sharp back end that has been rapidly progressing east, and has just reach me in central Cumberland County. The temp is holding now at 32.4 degrees. Using my car for accumulation measurements, I just measured 0.3" of snow. Sidewalks and streets are still just wet. Grass is white everywhere. Maybe during the overnight snow showers develop with enough intensity to add a bit more on to the storm totals.

Temp down to 33 with borderline heavy snow but the fun appears to be over soon. Still cool to see.

I have sleet

I think there's room for improvement there, then. Decades ago when I worked on a naval air station, a severe thunderstorm warning was treated very differently from an extreme wind event. While the two may share some similarities, they were not equal in terms of protocol. These days I'm just some Joe Schmoe behind a keyboard with a worried wife from SoCal and a mom who wants to know if she needs to put the horses in because of lightning. When something doesn't make sense to me, I complain about it on the internet. We do this for fun and I don't envy the job our mets actually have to perform. I guess I'll just take everything I learned here tonight and apply that going forward. Thanks for your service and your replies. Down to 37°F and I'm hearing pingers on the windows. An interesting day and night all around, regardless.

Power flickering. Seeing temperatures down 20-25 degrees in some parts of SEPA. Impressive front.

Synoptic stuff is done here. Most things blacktop stayed wet for the most part, but about 2.5” on pretty much everything else. Add some thunder snow and some gusty winds to that and guess I can’t complain about an event like that.

Snowing at State college, 27F, WWA, 2-4". We'll see some flakes...

Winds are roaring right now. This is my 2nd favorite weather

The wind from that front was pretty crazy. It's full on snowing over here with car tops covered.

41F 19F drop in 32 minutes
