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

    It's actually spot on for Tamaqua. I got 1.18" and that map shows me in the 1.00 to 1.25 inch gradient.

    Oh man.... I love severe weather anomalies, but I think I'd be scared poopless if I were stuck there. Prayers that his friends (and as many others as are possible) remain safe as they ride out this beast.

    I'll take the add, but pass on the subtract.
  12. Voyager
    Add 20 and then it would be glorious...

    Hazleton must sit at the right elevation for some kind of upper level jet stream. It can be dead calm everywhere else (especially Tamaqua) but wicked windy up here in the Humboldt Industrial Park where I'm based out of. Even the early morning, when winds are usually the calmest of the day.

    This. The darkness is the worst part of winter. Of course, being a truck driver, I'm not fond of snow, either, but getting dark at 4:30pm is very depressing.
  15. Voyager
    Mostly cloudy and 71 currently in Tamaqua. Peak gust so far has been 10.5 mph, that occurred just a few minutes ago so the winds are just now starting to ramp up here. I suspect I'll see higher gusts as the day goes on. It'll be interesting later when the front blows through.
  16. Voyager
    Lock it in. Snowbirdbob on Facebook says we're going to have a epic winter...
  17. Voyager
    Not all of us...
  18. Voyager
    I had seven gusts over 20 and two over 30. Guess that probably rules out the neighbor messing with me with a leaf blower...lol
  19. Voyager
    Who else had wind? Finally getting good gusts with this new station. I do think my old one was too low with wind speed.
  20. Voyager
    Got me by a hundredth....lol
  21. Voyager
    Nothing really here yet. Peak gust jumped to 7.9 mph. Since the neighbor removed a big pine tree in their backyard, my station is more open. Last week after the front, I recorded a 24 mph gust.
  22. Voyager
    Wow!!! What a storm... So far I'm up to 0.01" and recorded a peak wind gust of 6.8 mph. What a far cry from all the social media doomsday posts as well as what the models were sometimes showing a few days ago
  23. Voyager
    I saw that swath of heavier precipitation out your way. Here its been nothing but drizzle. I've yet to record even 0.01" on the Tempest, but the most I've seen from conventional tipping bucket gauges locally is 0.03".
  24. Voyager
    Not sure about this Tempest weather station. I guess drizzle drops aren't heavy enough to register on the hepatic rain gauge. It's been drizzling for over 4 hours here, and it hasn't even measured 1/100 of an inch. I might have to replace it at some point (maybe New Year) with a traditional weather station. Especially since I already know it won't register snow flakes. At least with a traditional tipping bucket, once the snow melts, it measures the liquid equivalent.

    This... 100%
