Mount Joy Snowman

Here is a courtesy yard pic for Bubbler. Even those few tufts of brown I believe are just areas where my kids engaged in some sort of tomfoolery ha.

.1” here from that nice little T&L complex that moved through around 3-4am. These little events might not do much for the overall drought conditions but they have sure been keeping the grass happy, especially when timed right (i.e. not falling during peak solar hours).

How about 7mph with gusts to 14.

My perfect day: 65, partly to mostly sunny, DP 50, and a slight NW breeze.

Low of 67 and a three-day rain total of .16". Should be a pretty classic mid-summer type of week. The national high/low are especially notable today for (1) the extreme nature of the high and (2) the first time in a looooong while and perhaps since last summer that I've seen a low above freezing. Anyway, the winners were 128 at Death Valley and Stovepipe Wells, CA and 34 at 'ol reliable Peter Sinks, UT.

.08” of rain here. Build the arc.

It is disgusting out. That is all. Carry on.

A low of 68 here and a robust .07” of rain. I need to sneak a mow in later today before these potential gutter gushers move through. A lot of water to be wrung out from these skies for those who get (un)lucky.

No worries mate. I’m actually happy with it. Cooled things off for most of the evening and was a nice peaceful rainfall. I see Harrisburg is being hit again by some popups. Those guys just can’t miss this year ha.

I was on the edge of that drenching that Training got. A nice light rain fell for quite a while that amounted to about .06”. Enough to make the grass smile a wee bit.

On the board here. Got nicked by a passing storm to the tune of .01”. Drought over.

Yes! However, when Ron was my coach it was actually when I was on Mount Joy Red for Midget-Midget (now 12-U). Going back to like 93-94 now. Have many fond memories of Ron and his assistant Wayne. He used to give me rides to practice when my mom couldn’t get home in time. You know him?

Oh wow, I’ll have to look into that. Congrats coach! I played on Mount Joy Blue back in the mid 90s and we lost a couple times in the New Era Tournament (now LNP) to the Jeff Smoker-led Manheim teams. Yes that Jeff Smoker, the starting QB for Michigan State and a solid NFL career. I see that Manheim and Donegal are currently playing for the 12-U title. I always get a bit nostalgic going back to Kunkel Field.

Was just gonna say something about that. Might yet be some isolated winners tonight, although surely not us haha. Hey, you follow the LNP little league baseball tourney at all?

Heck yeah, being in and around water is the one time you kind of want the humidity. Gotta keep that wetbulb temp up on your skin so you don't feel cold when you get out of the water haha. Throw a few back for me, perhaps more than a few.

I had the same thought haha. Low of 64 here. Looks like we may see our muggiest weather of this season this weekend. Yuck.

Wow, that just happened haha. Great minds.....

As I've said before, is it a cold-wave when it's 35 or less for three straight days in January? Oh it's not? Then get the F out of here with that nonsense haha.

I could not agree more.

I will be curious to see how publicly available the data is made. From reading an LNP article on it the other day, it wasn't clear to me if it's going to be primarily for university use or widely distributed to the public. I also got the impression that companies like RadarScope won't have access to it. Hope I'm wrong. Can't imagine they wouldn't want it to be widely available given all the hoopla about it.

A beautiful 62 degrees when I left the house this morning, which was also my low.

Yeah for whatever reason there have never been many active stations in Franklin. I found one that has reported within the last week but that's it, and even they appear to be inconsistent in their reporting. Adams has plenty. Fulton, as you would expect, has never had anything haha. Join up Bubbs!

I think you meant to quote my other post about Ida. This post was about totals from yesterday. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Here are the most impressive totals I could find on WU stations for yesterday's event..... 7.62 near Sinking Spring, including ~4" in one hour 6.71 west of Reading, including 1" in ten minute at one point 6.55 between Sunbury and Snydertown The highest total on Cocorahs is 6.15 near Quakertown in Bucks County.

Low of 64 here. It was nice to not be hovering around 70 for the first time in a while. Looks like a pretty decent week on tap. Here is what I have in my notes about Ida @Jns2183, from which I received 5.39" of rain. *The remnants of Hurricane Ida rolled through as a tropical depression, leading to an all-day hard rain with embedded tropical downpours. 5.39" total for me with most of the area seeing 4-8". Heaviest totals of 8-10" across central/northern NJ into NYC, with some places seeing 2-4" per hour, where nighttime flash flooding led to dozens of deaths. Multiple tornadoes in southeastern PA and southern NJ as well, including an EF3 in NJ that was one of the strongest on record there. Conestoga River at Lancaster crested at third-highest level ever of 18.49', behind only Agnes and LEE. Schuylkill River at Philadelphia crested at second-highest mark ever behind only the flooding of 1869. Harrisburg recorded third highest daily rainfall ever on September 1, 2021, totaling 6.64 inches, behind only Agness and Lee.
