Well, I didn't think we were supposed to drop below freezing overnight, but here we are with frost on the cars and a temp of 31 this morning. -

That's not true. I like the warmth, don't need the humidity. I do like mornings in the 70's, but in reality, the best temps are highs in the low to mid 80's. -

Alright, so when the hell do we see the warmth on this side of the state? Forecast yesterday evening said temps rising into the 50's overnight. Still sitting at 43. -

Worst part of this for me was the forecast from last weekend had the warm-up starting on Wednesday, with Thursday and Friday being in the mid 50 to mid 60's. and Saturday solidly in the 60's. That didn't happen as we rotted (up here anyway) in the low 40's with a foggy drizzle all three days. So the warmth was delayed considerably. If only the cold push would be subsequently delayed. I feel cheated otherwise. -

Bet it does the Tamaqua split... No lightning detected from my station yet. -

I'm beginning to think that we don't get out of the low 40's today either. Some warm up. Seeing that map absolutely maddens me. I really should have stayed out west and let the chips fall where they might with my wife and marriage. I'm so climate driven, that this has really had an effect on my overall physical health. I haven't felt well since Christmas. -

True, but I guess you need to give some to get some. -

I thought the Ambient wasn't reading wind correctly, but after getting the Tempest, my wind speeds have not changed. I'm so protected by mountains on both sides of me (I live in a low area at the top of an inverted V formation). As such, I'm never going to get the impressive gusts that other, more open locations can get no matter which station I have. As for the Tempest, it's decent, but you better get a separate rain gauge or way to measure melted snow in the winter because the hepatic rain gauge won't pick up snowflakes. Turns out the Ambient was a good PWS, and I'm actually thinking of buying another one. -

I suppose that was a little bit harsh, but those mountains are separating me from nice weather. Cold air damming is such a good name for it, because when it happens, I'm like "dammit"...lol But anyways, just to be clear, I was being facetious, and in no way wish harm on our state, or anyone's life or property who live in or on the mountains. -

I'll believe it when I actually feel it. If someone ever attacks our mainland, I hope they level the Appalachian Mountains... Sunday: A slight chance of showers between 7am and 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. -

From mid 60's to mid 50's to low 50's to now upper 40's... I am beyond pissed off right now. The warmth is delayed and almost denied, but the cold push will be right on schedule. Saturday A chance of showers before 7am. Areas of fog before 10am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 48. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. -

Man, you and I are so opposite. It may be above freezing, but this day sucks. Especially when it's near 70 across the state in Pittsburgh. Now I see tomorrow is only going to be 48 here. So much for the big warm up of 60+. It went from a week plus to barely three days.
