  1. all I can say it is way too cold. Cloudy with 45 degree temps for mid April during the day- BS. Give my heater a rest. No worry with pollen, the drizzle and cold temps keeping the windows shut for now. I see no 75+ degree days until mid May and chance of killing frost or freeze next week. Not a Spring to remember for sure
  2. I tried copying the camera shot from phone the first time. I deleted it and reloaded it. One hell of a graupel thundershower. Ground was white and the cars.. Whole house shook. This was about an hour and half ago in Macungie PA
  3. It is pouring agan here in Lehigh county. I should 4 inches easily in the next few hours
  4. the drought guy here is drowning LMAO. 3.24 in of rain in the last 24-36 hours. Little Lehigh is flooding , Roads closed and farms fields underwater. Farmers say it will at least 2 weeks before they can get in the fields to plant. Its time for a good long warm dry spell. Since December, we have had nearly a years worth of precip (snow and rain) in Lehigh County already My thoughts-- eerily similar setup in this current weather pattern for continuing this wet spring and for an early tropical storm formation like Agnes in 72. A wet spring followed by an early tropical storm would be devastating for our area. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/06/19/hurricane-agnes-susquehanna-50years-storm/
  5. no way in hell will I have a fit. It will take three months of below 1 inch of rain before the groundwater level and stream levels would even approach drought warning conditions. The local springs are up big time and the base flow of the Little Lehigh Creek in my backyard is still at bank-full. I expect flood warnings to be issued for the Trexlertown area at 1.5 inches of rain as the ground is still saturated tomorrow. I am more worried about more dead ash trees falling from the gusty winds as the soils are supersaturated. I expect Spring Creek rd to be closed by tomorrow afternoon too from the flooding. If a drought were to occur, drought warnings would not be issued until late August at the earliest. July is usually are heaviest precip month too. Weather world is in another world
  6. another sunny day that has become cloudy. Please make this stop. Its been doing this since last June and the smoke fires.
  7. you could have saved a bunch a money and visited macungie two weeks ago to see those rates LOL
  8. what a dud- brief squall line of 45 mph winds. No t storms and heavy rain ended in three minutes. Too much hype. The rolling thunder this morning in the showers was the highlight of this event.
  9. woopee, first t -storm of the new year- in February to say the least. It was nice to wake up hearing rolling thunder with the windows open. I miss the humidity. This is the first time in the past 30+ years I can remember a t storm in Feb but I may be wrong. More to come this afternoon.
  10. yes I agree with El nino pattern statement should be expected rains and warmth but not to that extreme that we all experienced. December had the most rain ever recorded in the LV which rivaled good hurricane season rains and flooding was unbelievable. I am also sure it was the cloudiest periods ever for the winter season. Somebody needs to find this out. We went in 5-6 day mostly cloudy stretches for at least two months with no 2-3 day consecutive sunny days That should have been a good tell how this winter was going too.
  11. well for macungie, I still rate it a C- even with the nice snowfall event on Saturday and the previous week. The temps have been cold this week and for one week in January but what strikes me about this winter was the amount of warm temps and rainfall from late November into January of nearly 15 inches. Furthermore the excessive cloudy days throughout the entire winter season did a number on my utility bill trying to keep the house warm. This winter sucked except for the last week. A couple of weeks of winter simply does make up for the flooding rains and cloudy days, especially at Christmas time.
  12. nice report card synopsis I would change the grade for No 6 however from F- to withdrawn or incomplete. We must grade properly now. By the way, maybe some of the courses were audited so a satisfactory or unsatisfactory maybe more appropriate. I would say no. 6 falls in the category too. LMAO
  13. thanks for your confidence in me. Last night single digits back up the snow pack too. I just wish everyone would have received the same amount. Its not fair as I feel as I am the one that got served surf and turf while everyone else got mac and cheese. I warning many of those who think winter is dead based on the upcoming weather patterns. A dying el nino pattern usually brings a significant snowfall by mid to late March for our area. My 30+ years, I have observed this phenomenon. The problem is that it will all melt right way because of the sun angle but I still think about it. The 60+ degrees in early March will be replaced by cold rainy April too.
  14. down to 9 degrees in the LV this morning. Snow pack has helped. Yesterday, I got down to 8 degrees
  15. I see the single digits are shown over the snowpack areas of the LV. Pretty accurate. Already 20 degrees Got down to 9 degrees this morning under the snow pack. 14 degrees right now.
  16. I am an official spotter for the NWS for the last 25 years or so. I reported that measurement. I do not hype measurements. I was not kidding with all of observations about the snowfall and snowflakes. I live about two miles from the resort. The total after the snow squalls was over 14 inches. I still have 10+ inches on the northern side of the house. The southern facing sides lost all but about 6 inches.
  17. I am being very conservative. It would not surprise me though to be near zero if the winds decouple at sunset
  18. I expect to be in the single digits tonight again. Saturday night was 8. Last night was 18 with some cloudy skies. A foot of snow pack has greatly helped with raditional cooling and I am in a deep valley. My predicted low tonight will near 5-10 degrees
  19. I have had 35.5 in of snow thus far. The 14 inches I had on Saturday helped. This would rank near the top 5
  20. reached 35.5 in of snow thus far with Saturdays snow event in Macungie. That is our average snowfall for the year here with another month to go
  21. wow, if threw in Macungie in this list , we would be 7th highest on the list Just the fact that allentown has had the most snow in PA on the list is so rare
  22. sure. You can help remove the snow from my deck LOL
  23. got down to 8 degrees at the house last night- coldest of the year with a nice 20+ inch snowpack in the area to aid in the raditional cooling
  24. I knew Sat mornings storm would overperform in our area but to the extent of the meso banding setting up right over my backyard for 4+ hours at 4-5 inches per hour, now that was unexpected 14-15 inches of the fluffiest snow I have seen in many years was a nice surprise- just like getting nearly 15+ inches of rain in December. I guess what to expect in the upcoming months- a severe ice storm,or a severe t- storm with hail/ tornadoes in March is not out of the question at this point. LOL
