My temperature is really dropping off quickly tonight. Already down to 36 at 9:30 pm. I could be on the way to my coldest morning yet of the season.
My coldest so far was 28.0 on 11/7. So far this morning, at 3:30am, it's 28.2

How do you get those high gusts? Are you on a ridge top? Open area? Even on the windiest days, I can barely get to 15 mph.

My peak gust was 18.9 mph just after 1:00am according to my station.

I hear ya both, although my big issues has always been falling asleep. Terrible at it. Will lay there for hours sometimes before I can go down.
I had that problem a few years ago. Sleeping pills wouldn't even help. Found out I had an overactive thyroid. I couldn't tolerate the meds, so I had to have it removed. Now, I'm out in like 10 minutes.

Hit 63 today in the old backyard. Not bad. I'll gladly take another month of this weather if I can get it.

Big winds - 45 mph the last 10 mins
Lol... haven't even cracked 13 in my backyard. But if you've ever been to or through Tamaqua you'd see how protected we are by nearby mountains. Even in Sandy, while all hell was breaking loose in the more open townships, we were "relatively calm" here. I could hear the roar of the trees on the mountain tops surrounding the town, but it really was a near non event in town itself. We were one of the few areas that didn't lose power at some point during that storm.

That 38 mph gust i recorded a few weeks back had to be some kind of outside influence other than wind, because I haven't seen anything over 20 since then. Not even yesterday or today where my wind gusts have been 11.8 and 12.3 respectively.

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

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.

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

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
