    Ended up with about 3" up here in Clarks Green/Waverly 

    ...Lackawanna County...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Valley near the river downslope of the mountain and funneling city streets 

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

    I hear ya both, although my big issues has always been falling asleep.  Terrible at it.  Will lay there for hours sometimes before I can go down.

    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.

    Big winds - 45 mph the last 10 mins 

    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.

    I have a friend who just spent a week in Jamaica. He posted last night that he got out of there before they shut down the airports. But he has some other friends that didn't make it off the island before they shutdown the airports, so they are stuck there.

    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'm a weird bird in that I love the holidays, I've even come to love Halloween since having a child and have always loved fall/winter (even though I am starting to become a bit of a warminista) but hate the darkness. 

     

    If we could have 20 hours of sunshine and a dry cold from November 1 - March 15, I'd consider that a jackpot.

    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.
