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.

Laporte is very elevated, above 2,000’ if I recall correctly, which is one of the reasons it always does so well. Big escarpment there by Ricketts Glen state park. Beautiful area.

i called it….Laporte area….

68 glorious degrees out now. Just took the kids for a walk around the neighborhood. Couldn't be more perfect. Oh, and as others have stated, I’m also on my third whiskey haha. #SundayFunday

Final tally here of 1.8”. Seems like the perfect amount. All grass and shrubbery is happy.

Have surged well past an inch here with the upstream radar looking diabolical.

Checking in from West Hempfield. We finally got in on the action here. Got absolutely mauled to the tune of almost 3/4” in like 15 mins. Gonna be a wild ride!

Same. I was stunned by how many there were when I mowed.

Everything mostly nice and green here. That half inch yesterday really helped and tomorrow will surely secure things for a little while longer. All in all not bad for July considering what we were looking at not long ago.

Love it. Let’s have some fun tomorrow. Any bets on who gets the most? I’m gonna treat it like winter and go with Laporte haha.

Rule #1 of weather: there is always someone worse off than you. Rule #2 is everyone thinks their area gets screwed the most. Come to think of it, I guess those are pretty much one and the same haha.

Haha I saw that and thought enough is enough already. Mercy.

Ugh you were royally screwed today. The Harrisburg peeps, I mean what more can be said. They have been crushing it lately.

Been surreal watching the radar over Harrisburg. Hopefully some of it can hold together for @Itstrainingtime

Latest HRRR is still insistent on popping another line over us around the 6-7 time period. We shall see.

It was hilarious watching that tiny cell over me not move for like 45 minutes but believe it or not it wasn't overly heavy; just a nice drenching rain to the tune of .5". Round one in the books.

Well, one of those little cells is just hovering right over me so there go my plans to mow over lunch today. Still, thankful for the win.

The humidity is ungodly today. My DP is 73 and I'm currently surrounded by storms.
