With the noon update today, all 67 counties for the first time now have at least one positive case. Yesterday's new cases was fewer than the day before. Unfortunately, with today's new total of 1,597 positive cases the slope has re-steepened as the westward penetration through the state continues. The number of deaths has increased substantially. 2 days ago there were 150, today there are 240 reported; a dramatic increase. Gov. Wolf was wearing a mask as he approached the podium to deliver an update a short time ago. I've heard that Walmart is turning its aisles into one-way only to reduce overall volume. We've been doing our shopping online at both Walmart and Giant which helps tremendously with not having to enter the stores.

The stats for PA 2 days ago (on 4/2) were 7,016 positive cases and 90 deaths. 48 hours later, we're at 10,017 positive cases with 136 deaths...an increase of over 40% for both stats in just 2 days! Scary. The upward slope continues to steepen with each passing day.

So far for today I've recorded 0.63" of rain. I had 0.30" on Wednesday and 0.30" on Monday for a weekly total so far of 1.23". That also included a trace of snow from Wednesday. Blizz' snow map resurrecting memories of April 1982. Meteorologically, it CAN happen...but of course most likely won't...lol.

It's been snowing here mixed in with the rain, on and off, for the past 2 hours. About 15 minutes ago it was pure snow coming down as my temp drops to 36.5 degrees. What a surprise! Had absolutely no snow on Monday's event. So far, 0.23" of liquid for this event. Only had 0.30" for the event on Monday.

Rapid shoot up in temp here along with winds. 77.2 now after hitting 78.1 about 15 minutes ago. Sustained WSW winds 15 to 20, gusting to 25. Hard to imagine snow could be in the air early Monday morning.
