I got 0.09" today.

Morning line fell apart, and this one was just a miss to the left (west).

That a palm tree in the pic.?

It's probably a fake. There are some very realistic looking artificial palms trees being made these days. I wanted to get a couple for our backyard but the wife responded with a resounding "no".

61 degrees this morning.
.03” of rain overnight. That storm line weaken up as it was coming in.

That was .03" more than I got...

It's really difficult to post when someone (who used to be the most popular poster in this thread) continues to take passive aggressive cheap shots directed at me in other threads on the forum. All over the Day In The Life post 1.5 years ago. I apologized multiple times but to no avail. I never ever intended to hurt someone to the point that they would act like this.

Those day in the life posts were epic! Anyone who would have gotten offended by them was missing the point. They were satirical in nature, and meant to be taken as good natured fun. At least that's how I saw them.

That's a problem?

Lancaster county (and others as well) has seen so much damage this summer. Homes with roofs ripped off, siding ripped off, trees into houses, etc. Enough is enough. I don't understand why not getting severe (damaging, by definition) is a disappointment. 

Yes it is...

It's not much different than those of you who love winter, wanting blizzards, and brutal, dangerous cold 

Different seasons, different weather. Same passion.

And we're just locked in to this awful drizzle with a chilly breeze. There'll be nothing even close to severe here

Disgusting...

Can't beg, borrow, or steal a good storm, but we sure can get an ugly, foggy, dreary, misty morning.

The Tamaqua Split held strong last night. It sure looked like I was going to be under the gun for a good chance for a good storm, but some cells moved northeast of me, while the main area moved southwest.

End result? No lightning, no thunder, and 0.05" of rain...

Actually, just took a closer look at radar, and I might be a victim of the dreaded Tamaqua Split.

Did not expect to hit 90 today, but the backyard got up to 91.

Looks like storms incoming.

51 here for the low.

Pop up storm from my backyard. It is, however, in the wrong quadrant. Right is north in the photo, so it's moving away from us. Got a few raindrops out of it.

With all the storms around, north, east, and south, I'm going to somehow end up in a stabilized atmosphere with only a few rain showers. Seen it too many times not to believe it to be true.

I fell in...to a burning ring of fire...

Well, we ended up with descent rain hit, but nothing in the way of thunder or wind.

0.44"

Everyone must be sleeping or partying because there's a heck of a line of storms moving across central PA, and no one's talking about it.

It's amazing how fast skies cleared here once the rain stopped. Ended up with .79"

Got .61" here so far. No lightning, thunder, or wind. Just a steady moderate to heavy at times rain.

My plan is to start black tar heroin the day before. 

My doc started me off on Dilaudid for three days, then backed off to Percocet for I think two weeks, then Tylenol.

So I am having rotator cuff surgery in October so will not be able to do any snow/ice removal all winter. 

Does anyone know any companies in/close to HBG I could hire to take care of my sidewalks/driveway for the season? I’ll pay good money - I’m anal about snow removal for my wife’s safety  

@SnowPlowGuy88

Oh, good luck my friend. I had that done back in 2020, and I hope I never have to do it again. I was out of work for six months after that surgery for recovery and physical therapy, but that was because of the physical nature of my work. You may be able to return to work faster.

One thing to be prepared for is pain. It was the most painful therapy I've ever gone through. One word of advice my surgeon gave me was to stay ahead of the pain. Don't try to man up. If he/she doesn't give you a time estimate of when the nerve block will wear off, ask. That nerve block is awesome, but when it wears off, you'll know it. When I came home after surgery, I was like "that wasn't so bad". Yeah right...lol

You'll want to take your first Vicodin, Percocet, or whatever they give you an hour before, because if you try to play catch up, you won't.

Got 1.31" from yesterday's storms. The rain was incredibly intense at times in that afternoon storm. Windshield wipers on high speed couldn't keep up. I got the truck parked before the worst hit (I still got soaked going from the truck to the shop and then the car, though), but the ride home in the car was intense with the rain and the flooded roads.

87/73 in Tamaqua at 10:30am...

91/75 now. Heat index 102.

87/73 in Tamaqua at 10:30am...

Everything west of the Susquehanna seems to be dying out as it moves northeast. How can full sunshine with this heat and humidity be so stable as to kill storms?

90/76 in Tamaqua currently. It's a steam bath outside...
