49 @12:30 these temps feel like early March.

.18 rain over night and 53 this morning.

76 for the high today.

37 this morning.

What a night! Power went off about 7:30ish. Then PPL said it wouldn't be restored till 11pm Monday. Well power came back on at 11:45pm. I tried going to bed but I fell asleep for maybe 30 min until I was awakened by my flashing alarm clock. So I figured I might as well get up and start the furnace as it will go out after being off for such a long time. Then I washed up and went to bed. I wasn;t in bed long till I heard my wife phone alarm going off telling her to get up for work. Well she got up and started off to work and she came back home woke me up telling me theres a tree across the road (and it was a big tree) a half mile from our place. Well the township only works part time so we called the state Police to report it they gave us the Dauphin County non emergency number to report it. Well the fire company must have come over and sawed it up She finally left for work at 5:15 2 hours late because of the wind blown tree that was down. So here I am up now for 24 hrs without no sleep. Hard to sleep when your biological clock is saying time to get up.

Another thunderstorm in progress.

Says my power wont be back on till 11pm Monday April 15

That wind was fierce here in Upper Dauphin County when the thunderstorms started. Glad they weakened till they got here. And power is out Estimated time to fix 2am tomorrow.

Lost power!

Much better wording this morning...makes more sense than last night. Tonight Showers and thunderstorms likely before midnight, then a slight chance of showers between midnight and 1am. Some storms could be severe, with damaging winds. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 54. West wind 6 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

34 this morning was the low.

Sunday Night A chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11pm, then a chance of showers between 11pm and 2am. Some of the storms could be severe. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 54. West wind 6 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible Doesn't make sense how do you get half to three guarters of an inch precip with only 40% chance?

I topped out at 1.00in of rainfall for this past event.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. What you did for your mother the last year and a half is really mostly unheard of in todays busy society. There are alot that wouldn't have done what you done. I commend you on being there for her, taking care of her and watching out for her. And I know it wasn't easy on you and your family.

More freakin wind! Tired of it. I also see i'm in a slight risk of severe thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon evening.

Yes that ground is still saturated from the rain this year so far I have 15.88 for the year. And this month 4.72 for the month so far.

I was hoping it wouldn't rain for another week so I could plow my garden which is located in the bottom lands next to the creek. It will take awhile to dry out again.

up to .81 rainfall for the event.

It's raining hard the last 15 min here as well.

.50 rain so far since yesterday. I was looking at the temp maps and NWS forecast temps for next week, and I see no indication of widespread 80's of south of I-80 that our friend DT was talking about.

Remember we had snow showers a few years ago in the beginning of May that did whiten the ground on a Saturday. So anything is possible.
