He won’t be happy until dew points are in the 70s.

That's not true. I like the warmth, don't need the humidity. I do like mornings in the 70's, but in reality, the best temps are highs in the low to mid 80's.

Alright, so when the hell do we see the warmth on this side of the state? Forecast yesterday evening said temps rising into the 50's overnight.

Still sitting at 43.

Forecast is two whole days to see the sun and feel the warmth before crappy weather returns

Worst part of this for me was the forecast from last weekend had the warm-up starting on Wednesday, with Thursday and Friday being in the mid 50 to mid 60's. and Saturday solidly in the 60's. That didn't happen as we rotted (up here anyway) in the low 40's with a foggy drizzle all three days. So the warmth was delayed considerably. If only the cold push would be subsequently delayed. I feel cheated otherwise.

I hope you get in on the action too!

Got the rain, not the thunder.

Just now, mahantango#1 said:

Heavy thunder the house shook from it and very bright lightning here 

Bet it does the Tamaqua split...

No lightning detected from my station yet.

Still cloudy and foggy here with a temp of 44.

I'm beginning to think that we don't get out of the low 40's today either. Some warm up. Seeing that map absolutely maddens me.

I really should have stayed out west and let the chips fall where they might with my wife and marriage. I'm so climate driven, that this has really had an effect on my overall physical health. I haven't felt well since Christmas.

On the flip side, it would give you more snow since the mountains wouldn’t be there to eat up clippers/maulers.

True, but I guess you need to give some to get some.

iirc @Voyager has had issues with his new Ambient setup 

I thought the Ambient wasn't reading wind correctly, but after getting the Tempest, my wind speeds have not changed. I'm so protected by mountains on both sides of me (I live in a low area at the top of an inverted V formation). As such, I'm never going to get the impressive gusts that other, more open locations can get no matter which station I have.

As for the Tempest, it's decent, but you better get a separate rain gauge or way to measure melted snow in the winter because the hepatic rain gauge won't pick up snowflakes.

Turns out the Ambient was a good PWS, and I'm actually thinking of buying another one.

Jesus Christ, Steve LOL

I suppose that was a little bit harsh, but those mountains are separating me from nice weather. Cold air damming is such a good name for it, because when it happens, I'm like "dammit"...lol

But anyways, just to be clear, I was being facetious, and in no way wish harm on our state, or anyone's life or property who live in or on the mountains.

I'll believe it when I actually feel it. If someone ever attacks our mainland, I hope they level the Appalachian Mountains...

Sunday: A slight chance of showers between 7am and 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60.

From mid 60's to mid 50's to low 50's to now upper 40's... 

I am beyond pissed off right now. The warmth is delayed and almost denied, but the cold push will be right on schedule.

I’m basically alone but I absolutely adore days like today. Mid to upper 40s, drizzly. I really should live in Ireland. 

Man, you and I are so opposite. It may be above freezing, but this day sucks. Especially when it's near 70 across the state in Pittsburgh.

Now I see tomorrow is only going to be 48 here. So much for the big warm up of 60+. It went from a week plus to barely three days.

Euro is showing some impressive temps for March. See if this signal continues into next week. Still 10 days away.

Who the hell wants that kind of cold in late March? That's like wanting 100+ in late September.

.63" of rain fell yesterday, .94" for the week. Air this morning is noticeably (to me) chillier than it was yesterday. I thought it felt humid, this morning it feels raw. Temp is 39 currently. 

 

38 here in Allentown and 62 in Pittsburgh. 

I keep asking, but no one has really provided an answer. Why does EVERY sudden stratospheric warming event and the subsequent polar vortex disruption ALWAYS decend into the eastern US? 

Why not the West? 

Do the Rocky Mountains play a part in it?

1.21" yesterday for Tamaqua.

Wow...getting some seriously heavy rain at the moment. Up to .67" on the day so far.

But it is waaaaay too early for 70s and 80s. That shouldn’t be happening consistently until May. 40s and 50s are more seasonal and a more gradual way for spring to spring. For some twisted reason, people think early Spring means flip flop weather and that is just false.

I get that. I'm just ready for a string of 50's. Even I don't really want 70's and 80's. That makes things bloom, then when the inevitable cold snap comes, all those blooms are toast when we dip down to 20 or below.

It’s a loss for both of us if it isn’t snowing.

Yeah. In this pattern nobody really gets what they want. It's just sucky.

Seems like the warmth keeps getting pushed back, and even muted somewhat. Today only 41 and tomorrow only 43. 

Was supposed to be the 50's. You winter guys just keep on winning...

Damn Warm people creating new Spring threads too early! It's Winter damnit! We are not METS so continue winter! 

Serious question. Would you say the same thing about a winter thread on December 1st?

Yeah some guidance is showing enough blues close enough to keep an eye out around St. Patty's day for some winter shenanigans.  

Bah humbug...

Indeed they can be very cruel to us. But better days of temps in the 90's and dp in the 70's aren't too far away!

Thought you were going to say lows in the 70s. I like those, too.
