  1. 68 and winds 15mph gusting to low 20s. The warmth and humidity feel kinda good after it being so cold so late in the year imho. Healthy line of convection out to the west: Watches are also up to the west, should get ours soon as well I think.
  2. Winds just started picking up here as well. Nearly a 20°F temp increase in a matter of minutes!
  3. 38°F and sleeting here. I think we've been under virga for a while but it's now pinging against my office windows.
  4. Saw that. I'd like to think I would have hustled myself and everyone else back behind the tree line ASAP but I don't know if I'd have had the presence of mind to do so after being in a wreck like that.

  5. 26.7°F and lightly snowing. (Lake effect?) It's sticking as well, which strikes me as bizarre. I mean, I know we get late-season snows pretty often around here, but I thought we were done this year. Enjoying it while it lasts!
  6. Alright, we did finally get some rain (after my little rant yesterday). .56" between late last night and this morning. We're supposed to get another quarter inch tonight as well.
  7. It's just been spitting all afternoon. Feels very English. Nothing to show for it in the rain gauge, either. .5" forecasted, my butt. 42°F here now.
  8. Dang. I'm going to miss all the action tonight--going to a hockey game downtown.
  9. 71, cloudy and breezy here. Felt good to get some yard work done. Starting to see some storms creeping up from the SW though.
  10. Got up to 76.6°F today. Now the clouds have rolled in and were just a tick under 70. Neither the heater nor the A/C was needed today though, so that was nice.
  11. I just humped 3 bags of salt from the garage to the shed and applied a round of fertilizer and bug-be-gone to the front and back yard. Also checked the state of my generator, noticed the starter batt didn't have enough juice to crank, and then I noticed some idiot had left the fuel line open since the last time it was run. (Dammit.) She wouldn't start from the pull start, either. Now, I know the gas that was in there was stabilized, but it's probably been a year since I (er, I mean, some idiot) had run it. So I guess I'll be doing a carb teardown at some point in the near future. Got up to 71.9°F here today. Everybody (besides me) was grilling, the neighborhood smelled awesome.
  12. Must just be virga. Nothing made it to the ground as of yet.
  13. Got up to 69.9°F today, and now it's looking like we're going to get a completely unexpected little shower just as I'm about to grill some dinner. Boooooo. Eh. I'ma do it anyway. A little rain never hurt anybody.
  14. ...Chester County... White Clay Creek West Grove- 56 MPH 0150 PM 03/12 DEOS2 Glenmoore 44 MPH 0942 AM 03/12 CWOP 1 WSW Lincoln University 1 MPH 0405 PM 03/12 Cocorahs Willing to bet their anemometer got iced or snowed over.
  15. Measured 3.5" on the back deck. Sun's out, and it's cold! 24.6°F and blowing around 10mph.
  16. It was snowing pretty moderately out my way again for a few minutes, but now tapering off again. What an absolutely beautiful way to end our winter. Snowy Saturday, spiral-cut ham in the oven, and baking some bread later. Having some early-afternoon adult beverages, and casually watching snow-TV out the window every now and then.
  17. Our usually rock-solid power just flickered hard. Hard enough to reboot my PC (but not the little RasPi next to it). Hopefully won't be dragging out the genny tonight, but it's there if we need it.
  18. Snow picking back up here! Just shoveled all the slop off the driveway so it doesn't freeze into an ice rink overnight. We have about 3" of compacted snow and slush, so I'll leave it to the spotters with proper equipment to determine how much actually fell. Starting to get a little gusty here, too.
  19. Measured about 3" in the back deck. Plows are running and salting the main roads, but I can see the asphalt peaking through in my un-plowed cul-de-sac. Trees are thickly coated, looks really pretty out. Looks like my anemometer got snowed over around 10am, but it doesn't look windy at all. I bet some trees are gonna come down if it picks up though.
  20. Have maybe a couple of inches and it's not snowing as hard as it has been for the past hour anymore. I don't see much on the radar that indicates we're going to get that 6-8 inches forecasted, but I'm totally not mad at all about today's little surprise event.
  21. I don't exactly know why I'm up at 3am, but the latest NWS expected snowfall maps have ticked east. Off to bed now to hopefully awake in a late season, winter wonderland of blowing snow.
  22. Went from a watch to a warning up here. Feisty! It'll be nice to be able to hunker down on the weekend and enjoy one last winter blast. Especially after getting a bunch of outside chores taken care of in today's beautiful weather. We got up to 60°F (now around 58) and I was actually working up a sweat in full sunlight. Starting to cloud up a bit now though.
