My folk in Fleetwood had a big tree go down in the backyard this afternoon. Looks like peak gust at KRDG was 57 mph this afternoon. More shallow convection moving through right now

I couldn’t believe the gusts seemed like stronger that that

Wide spread damage out here in Berks, not sure what the wind gusts were but I’ve never seen it as bad.

Lots of thunder and lightning in Allentown. Nothing severe though. Still nice to get a thunderstorm!

Same here, just getting some good strikes now though. 

This has to be the longest lasting Thunderstorm I can remember in a long time, been going since 6:15  and just issued a severe thunderstorm warning 5 minutes ago it’s been crazy and I didn’t think we’d see anything.

Velocity doesn’t look overly impressive. Pretty weak couplet. I’d be surprised if there was an actual tornado there.

The emergency broadcast on TV said rotation was in Adamstown heading towards Reading at 20 mph. We shall see. We just had strong storms come through 

Tornado warning 

77F /Dp55 I doubt we see much in the way of severe out here in Western Berks, maybe some gusty winds. 

Might be headed up to Redfield NY Saturday morning to help dig out a friends Cabin, supposedly they have near 160” snow so far this year. I’ll take some pics if we go 

Correct me if I’m wrong but the system in question is just now entering the Pacific Northwest?  I mean not for nothing but we can see the same turnaround by the guidance at this stage just grasping for straws I guess. We all should have seen the writing on the wall in January with these 10 day fantasies. Bring on severe Season I guess.

Gusting near 70mph in Maryland long way to go

Damn the MA folks getting the good winds too? WTH do they need to one up us in the wind department as well

Top wind gust so far 40mph

Winds picking up here now 38F 

38F with moderate rain, waiting on the gusts

37F dp36 with pea soup fog visibility well under 1/4 mile, waiting on the insane wind gusts 

36F some intermittent drizzle at times, where’s all this rain we were supposed to get? I didn’t shovel last night thinking this would all be washed off the driveway and walks Lol. I guess I’ll go out and shovel now before it freezes later ugh

Well I really thought my MECS I called for back in Early December would happen this winter with the way things were looking. I can usually hang to winter till early March but not this season I’m calling it early, it’s been a cold nickle,dime one for sure.

32F and ina lull no precip falling. after today’s 1.45 im at 15.45 for the season so far.

This feels like deja vu with this past Tuesday’s storm. Models show a big snowstorm and then slowly back off until all that’s left is a light, maybe moderate event.

Been this way all season, why should this be any different I’m not excited at all about this potential cause we all know the end game at this point. 

30F up 1 degree with steady snow 1” 

29F heavy snow visibility under 1/4 mile .5” so far

29F with moderate to borderline heavy snow all surfaces covered

They are going to waste more salt on this only to be washed away in a couple hours....I wouldn't salt since there's probably still enough on the roads already till the temperatures rise and it turns to rain. Municipalities always overdue it and wonder while they are low on salt? Roads are white around here with everyone (including business owners) dumping way too much salt...

It will all eventually be all washed away but unfortunately till that happens the roads will become slick and accidents are already happening out here as I type. The roads need to be treated while the winter weather is occurring I can confirm that Pen dot is mixing salt with anti skid material.

Snow is approaching think it comes in like a wall

The wall has arrived after some light snow we now have accumulating steady snow laying on all surfaces.
