That's what I want... BTW, where are these showers coming from? Was it supposed to rain today?

Yup. I was up there yesterday and can verify. I was estimating from the windshield of a Mack truck, but I mentioned in my upcoming video that it looked like at least 2 inches along I-81.

Nothing snow-wise here in Tamaqua, but I saw quite a bit of it from Scranton and north on 81. The roads got rough for a bit up there. I went to Waverly NY, and saw two rollover wrecks. A pick up truck on its roof in the median, and a car on its side in a ditch. Also a few spinouts into walls on the bridges.

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.

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.

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.

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.
