  1. 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.
  2. Lock it in. Snowbirdbob on Facebook says we're going to have a epic winter...
  3. 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
  4. Who else had wind? Finally getting good gusts with this new station. I do think my old one was too low with wind speed.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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".
  8. 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.
  9. You're right. If Tamaqua were big time, I'd be in the inner city.
  10. 31 this morning here. How many times over the past year or so have you beaten me by one degree???
  11. We had snow showers in Tamaqua in May of 2020 so I suppose anything is possible. I never thought I'd ever see May snowflakes, but we did that year.
  12. I know it's out of forum, but the place holds dear to my heart. While a lot of talk is being done about the upcoming nor easter, the desert southwest may see some epic rainfall from two tropical Pacific systems. It'll be interesting to see how THAT plays out...
  13. For October, yes, a scorcher. Even here in the coal region hills of PA, I topped out at 86.
  14. Hour past nooners and 83 here...so far. Part of me wishes we'd stay this warm through Halloween. Outside of a few early turners, nearly all the trees are still summer green. The anomaly lover in me wants to see how long it would hold, or would the lack of sunlight/photosynthesis turn them regardless of the summer-like temps.
  15. 39.2 in Tamaqua. For once I beat your overnight low....lol
  16. Remember the year we had 90's in October? I think it was either 07 or 08.
  17. I say bring it. We definitely need some good rain here in Eastern PA.
