And there is nothing wrong with tracking. I hope no one gives you grief...grief is being given in other subs and I don't understand why. Sure, the odds of something happening at the end of March/early April are really small...but that's not a reason to not invest in your interest with the right perspective. 

I wasn't expecting nearly 9" of snow on 4/6/1982 but that's exactly what happened. 

That April 82 storm was a doozy. We scored 11" (I think) from that one in Bethlehem. The cold that followed is what really impressed me with that one as we dipped into the single digits post storm.

Ugh...wtf is this???

Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't think today would be so cloudy, chilly, and raw outside. Temp keeps dropping and is now down to 44 degrees.

We got 0.64" from the event. First round produced pea sized hail and 3/10ths in 10 minutes. The rest came in two other rounds that were nowhere near as intense. Winds in my backyard were meh, as usual, but I am in a very protected location.

Seems like the line just can't move east. I never thought I'd still be awaiting its arrival post 8pm.

We had a little pre-show rain move through. Line still looks pretty solid to my west yet, though. We'll see if she holds. I'm not expecting anything severe, but a few noisy flashes would be nice.

Up to 68 here and still heavy clouds. Windy here, but not as bad as on the ridges surrounding the town. I can hear trees roaring at times like I did during Sandy.

Looking at future radar, it appears that any type of storm I see is going to be post sunset, and perhaps fully nocturnal.

65 here with a dewpoint of 61.

64/60 here, so just one off on each. It feels sticky and summerish, even with the wind. I just wonder how far east the really severe weather can get.

I wonder if that threat gets extended east as the day goes on. It seems like things are rapidly changing from earlier outlooks.

Almost seems like a summer morning.

Yes. 58 degrees here 

Check out this satellite view of the dust being sucked into the Midwest storm...

Part of the tornado warning verbage for Rolla, MO right now...

At 730 PM CDT, a tornado producing storm was located near Fort
  Leonard Wood, moving northeast at 60 mph.

  HAZARD...Damaging tornado and tennis ball size hail.

  SOURCE...Radar confirmed tornado.

I'm getting closer to just giving up on everything. My life has been a total shit show over the past year. Some of it my fault, and some of it due to others. Either way, everything I try to do to make things better ends up making them worse.

I just don't know which way to turn anymore.

So we went up to 71 beautiful degrees in Tamaqua today for the high.

69.8 (70) currently for the first one of the year. Feels really nice out!

We already are in a day 6 15% hatch for severe weather. That has to be really rare here. 

I don't mind seeing severe weather. I just can't stand multiple, consecutive high wind days.

I'm not sure I've ever seen CTP start talking about winds 5 days prior to onset:

A tightening pressure gradient around this system will bring
the potential for strong winds throughout the weekend. This
risk of high winds has also been outlined via CPC`s D8-14
Hazards Outlook.

Not again...

29 for me as well this morning...

66.2 was my high today. Nearly 10 degrees above the forecasted 57.

The important thing is don't give up, no matter how bad things get. Your actions could be the difference maker. Of course it's easier said then done. Hope things get better for you.

Well, I may give up on the job. It's been the worst on-boarding I've ever gone through. If I don't go back, I'll post the laundry list of issues I've experienced.

Ugh sorry to read this Steve. Life throws so many challenges at us.  

Thanks.

I've certainly gone through a lot. My wife's stroke, my mom's caregiver bailing on her, moving to Arizona to care for her, her fall and subsequent passing, stresses of selling her house and coming back to PA, the job problems, my own growing health issues, and so on.

I'm wondering when (or if) things will ever change for the better.

I really wish I knew why my life turned into a total shit show, but in an ever increasing manner, every attempt at trying to make things better turns out to make things worse. I've been running on a streak of bad luck, karma, juju...or what ever else you could call it for over two years now.

The latest is my new job, in which the start has been a real disaster so far...

Models seem to be keying on that time frame teasing different runs and solutions. Probably worth keeping an eye on but man 70s next week will be great. 

Who's getting 70s? My NWS forecast has 60s only one day, and 50s the others.

Hello everyone, I wanted to send a brief message you will not see much anymore. I was diagnosed with Cancer. I hope and wish everyone the best! Thank you for letting me into this forum and being part of it. 

Damn... 

Hate hearing this. Sending you best wishes.

Caught these really vivid sun dogs up in Wilkes-Barre earlier...
