  1. Throw some of that seed up into the air and you can even seed your neighbors' yards...
  2. Well waddaya know.... ...WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected. * WHERE...Schuylkill and Sullivan Counties. * WHEN...Until 5 PM EDT this afternoon.
  3. So I estimated pretty good. USGS gauge shows 0.43".
  4. So, the tipper was stuck in the tipped position, which allowed the rain to run through the bucket without being measured.
  5. So far 0.00" in the rain gauge... That's actually a lie. I got a couple periods of good rain overnight, but I suppose something got into the bucket again that is preventing it from tipping. Need to go check it out once it gets light out. Looking at the three stations nearby that surround me, two north and east got 0.34 and and 0.33 respectively, and one to the west got 0.50, so I'll guess somewhere around 0.40 for me until I can look at it, and maybe get it to tip.
  6. This a good map. I have it set for Tamaqua, but you can type in any location you want. https://www.airnow.gov/?city=Tamaqua&state=PA&country=USA
  7. Low of 54 this morning. Up 11 degrees to 65 now 9:00am.
  8. It's my fault that it's not raining. I seeded the bare spots (there were many) in my backyard. After my complaints about the many cool, gloomy, drizzly days we were getting, I told the wife that I'd make it stop. She asked how I was going to do that, to which I responded, "I'm going to seed the yard". She laughed, I laughed, and that was that. But...since we don't have an outside spigot, I need to rely on rainfall to water it. I was being a bit facetious, but bad luck does follow me around, so here we are....
  9. Oh boy. Hope you feel better soon. Myself: I'm having a mental day again. Wife fell yesterday and hurt her leg and back. No ER needed, but she's hurting, so I'm worried about her and her other health issues. I'm also stressing about my job again as I probably have to share a truck again. This time with a "territorial" dude who thinks he owns the truck. Starting to hate my mid-day start time again. Contemplating making a move once again, but not sure it will help. This on top of my continuing thoughts and stresses remaining from my mom's passing and having to sell, donate, or trash most of her possessions. Ugh...
  10. The fire in Jim Thorpe is reportedly up to 260 acres with 0% containment.
  11. Yes. But once again, it's very windy...
  12. More on the Jim Thorpe fire... https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/poconos-coal/carbon-county/spread-up-the-mountain-multiple-fire-departments-called-in-to-battle-fast-moving-brush-fire/article_8af6d770-b0d6-4cac-97f6-1b94d8b460de.html?source=facebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR4mNLNJmFI1PiAJUMCffghlV4rSwrx51__pIeLsqsMXjaqkcGWeGjLITSUnyw_aem_6NIIAjbjZKNilpA20_5fzA
  13. Facebook post of the Jim Thorpe wildfire... https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16RCugKhC7/
  14. We've had a lot of brush fires the past few days around here. I even noted them in my latest video. There's a larger one going on near Jim Thorpe right now, and without any rain today, the situation I fear is going to get worse the next few days.
  15. 83 here in Tamaqua currently. It's a bit breezy, though I don't mind it today. It's unbelievably pleasant out right now.
  16. 69 right now which makes for a pleasurable nooner...lol
  17. Yes. It warmed up quick. 56 degrees at 9:20 am
  18. Currently down to 30.4 degrees at 6:30am. May or may not be my low for the day.
  19. All this wind with a high of only 47 makes it feel quite . I'm well over it and want/need sustained warmth.
  20. I captured this beauty down at the water plant in Fogelsville last night.
  21. I didn't either. I think last week's windy day exceeded expectations as well. It's just been nuts this year with the wind events.
