Haha, that's off by 1.5", but radar estimation was horrendous the whole storm. It was at 0.42 when I was at 1.36

It's actually spot on for Tamaqua. I got 1.18" and that map shows me in the 1.00 to 1.25 inch gradient.

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 was thinking add 40 or subtract 30. 

I'll take the add, but pass on the subtract.

A glorious 55 for the high. 

Add 20 and then it would be glorious...

Hazleton must sit at the right elevation for some kind of upper level jet stream. It can be dead calm everywhere else (especially Tamaqua) but wicked windy up here in the Humboldt Industrial Park where I'm based out of. Even the early morning, when winds are usually the calmest of the day.

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.

Mostly cloudy and 71 currently in Tamaqua. Peak gust so far has been 10.5 mph, that occurred just a few minutes ago so the winds are just now starting to ramp up here. I suspect I'll see higher gusts as the day goes on.

It'll be interesting later when the front blows through. 

Lock it in. Snowbirdbob on Facebook says we're going to have a epic winter...

Why?  I thought that was what we all lived for.

Not all of us... 

I had seven gusts over 20 and two over 30. Guess that probably rules out the neighbor messing with me with a leaf blower...lol

Who else had wind? Finally getting good gusts with this new station. I do think my old one was too low with wind speed.

Had drizzle earlier but not a drip since 1130 - it’s pouring in New Cumberland. Sitting at .12” since Friday 

Got me by a hundredth....lol

Pretty breezy here.

Nothing really here yet. Peak gust jumped to 7.9 mph. Since the neighbor removed a big pine tree in their backyard, my station is more open. Last week after the front, I recorded a 24 mph gust.

Wow!!! What a storm...

So far I'm up to 0.01" and recorded a peak wind gust of 6.8 mph. 

What a far cry from all the social media doomsday posts as well as what the models were sometimes showing a few days ago

I picked up .34” of rain overnight. Montourville  airport registered .53” of rain.

Yesterday 1988 there was a trace of snow recorded. We’re getting closer.

overall, the weekend rain seems disappointing 

I saw that swath of heavier precipitation out your way. Here its been nothing but drizzle. I've yet to record even 0.01" on the Tempest, but the most I've seen from conventional tipping bucket gauges locally is 0.03".

Not sure about this Tempest weather station. I guess drizzle drops aren't heavy enough to register on the hepatic rain gauge. It's been drizzling for over 4 hours here, and it hasn't even measured 1/100 of an inch. 

I might have to replace it at some point (maybe New Year) with a traditional weather station. Especially since I already know it won't register snow flakes.

At least with a traditional tipping bucket, once the snow melts, it measures the liquid equivalent.

You live in town, I live in the boonies...so you technically should be a little warmer.

You're right. If Tamaqua were big time, I'd be in the inner city.

30 this morning with fog and frost.

31 this morning here. How many times over the past year or so have you beaten me by one degree???

I remember my grandmother saying it snowed in July a long time ago. I remember her saying the field corn was about knee high. She was born in 1901 and passed away in 1975. And my mother was born in 1923. Hard to believe it snowed in July, but anything is possible.

We had snow showers in Tamaqua in May of 2020 so I suppose anything is possible. I never thought I'd ever see May snowflakes, but we did that year.

Bradford and State College = Impressive!

I know it's out of forum, but the place holds dear to my heart. While a lot of talk is being done about the upcoming nor easter, the desert southwest may see some epic rainfall from two tropical Pacific systems. It'll be interesting to see how THAT plays out...

Got 1.26" in Tamaqua.

Lots of PWS in the 85-87 range around town. Real scorcher today. 

For October, yes, a scorcher. Even here in the coal region hills of PA, I topped out at 86.

Topped out at 86 today.
