Guess I might see some snow on the ground tomorrow. I deliver in Waverly NY then go over to Nichols to reload a backhaul back to Hazleton.

Flurries in Tamaqua. 38 here as well which is the low so far for the day.

Forget what I said about the Tempest station being a good unit. We had a good heavy rain here today, and every station around me recorded at least a half inch including the USGS gauge. The local readings ranged from .46" to .82" with one a block away from me reading .66" My station recorded only .21" Even the wind seems wonky. I'm learning that my location is just not going to see many gusts over 20 due to the nearby homes and mountains. Not sure how I got that 38 mph reading a couple months ago, but I don't think it actually happened. I think I'm going to go back to a traditional station, hopefully by the end of the year.

Wow...the wind is wicked up in Hazleton (Humboldt Industrial Park) today... It literally ripped the truck door out of my hand when I opened it. Meanwhile, here in Tamaqua, just a light to moderate breeze. I've got to wonder. At 1,500 to 1,800 feet does that area sit at just the right elevation to be in some sort of upper level jet?

Got down to 27.

My coldest so far was 28.0 on 11/7. So far this morning, at 3:30am, it's 28.2

Yup. I had that spike too. Went up to 65 pre-front.

My peak gust was 18.9 mph just after 1:00am according to my station.

How do you get those high gusts? Are you on a ridge top? Open area? Even on the windiest days, I can barely get to 15 mph.

Sheesh, and I thought TODAY was windy...

I had that problem a few years ago. Sleeping pills wouldn't even help. Found out I had an overactive thyroid. I couldn't tolerate the meds, so I had to have it removed. Now, I'm out in like 10 minutes.

Hit 63 today in the old backyard. Not bad. I'll gladly take another month of this weather if I can get it.

Unless you live in Tamaqua. Then it's just a gentle breeze...lol My top gust yesterday was 14.3 mph.

Lol... haven't even cracked 13 in my backyard. But if you've ever been to or through Tamaqua you'd see how protected we are by nearby mountains. Even in Sandy, while all hell was breaking loose in the more open townships, we were "relatively calm" here. I could hear the roar of the trees on the mountain tops surrounding the town, but it really was a near non event in town itself. We were one of the few areas that didn't lose power at some point during that storm.

That 38 mph gust i recorded a few weeks back had to be some kind of outside influence other than wind, because I haven't seen anything over 20 since then. Not even yesterday or today where my wind gusts have been 11.8 and 12.3 respectively.
