That's cool you and your son are doing that. I've been wanting to build one for my dad so he can play stuff like Red Dead Redemption 2 since he's been interested in that. He hasn't really played much stuff in decades but he used to play stuff with me as a kid all the time growing up. It just sucks so hard that prices are out of control right now due to AI datacenters so ram sticks and soon nvme SSD prices are insane right now. I did tell him it's probably best to do it now rather than later

The wind from that front was pretty crazy. It's full on snowing over here with car tops covered.

The tornado watch was lifted for my area. I had feeling that was going to end up happen with how lackluster it's been out. Was also cancelled down to DC too it seems

I wonder if that was the same storm I experienced that one night in 2011. I remember around that time I was sleeping in bed and woke up to the loudest thunder ever. It was crazy because there was no forecast that night at all for rain of any kind let alone a storm that severe. I can't remember exactly what day it happened but I'm thinking that was the same storm. That thing is still ingrained into my memory and remember other people talking about it to me later in the day lol

I had some of the heaviest rain I've seen in a while with that storm just a little bit ago. Wild that you didn't get anything heavy considering you're like 7ish minutes from me. But yeah I didn't notice any wind at all either. Just one massive thing of thunder that shook the house and that was kinda it.

Okay getting some really good thunder at least now. Was super quiet but just heard a really loud boom that shook the house.

It's raining here but nothing severe at all. Just a normal rain. I do have a severe thunderstorm warning but seems like a run of the mill rainstorm so far.

This shit is so funny to me. Tornado Watch issued here's a safety guide to help you! No sorry bub gotta pay up first lol

Tornado watch went up

Still a bit cloudy over in Enola but it does look like it's trying to clear out a bit. edit: nevermind I say that and the suns popping out now lol or at least trying to

100% can't stand how much Ryan Hall just clickbaits all the time to drive views. Because that's mostly what youtube and social media has devolved into. I've actually left comments sometime just blatantly explaining it to viewers because it's frustrating. Andy I actually knew him from elsewhere before knowing he was on his channel since he does video game streams but he's like the only genuine one there who's not in it for the money and hype/fear mongering. But yeah I do not like watching Ryan because of what he does. It's very important not to drive people into a frenzy

I was born here and still live in the same town and I can't really remember a setup where I was genuinely this worried. Normally severe weather excites me but I'm not really feeling it with this scenario. Definitely very concerning setup

Just got a tornado warning from that storm. I can see it over the mountains. Looks really nasty

NYC must be getting destroyed. This streamer I watch who's from NYC has lost his power twice now lol. I've seen him stream during snowstorms before and never had anything happen. Must be bad out there.

Power was flickering on and off. Street lights went out for a few minutes. It's not even windy over here lol

Starting to think the same. Barely anything has really accumulated on the pavement even though it's been snowing for a few hours over here in Enola. They're still calling 2-5 inches but I think it's going to be on the lower side too. Far cry from the 6-12 inches yesterday

Biggest forecast fuck up I've seen for my town in a long long time. Went from 6-12 inches down to 5-8 inches and now 2-5 inches and still rain so far. At least others are making out well lol

Absolutely pouring out right now. Haven't seen a big blob of heavy rain like that in a while

Does anyone know why we've been having so many air quality alerts recently? I don't remember getting so many so often the past few months. Not a fan honestly.

Great write up about the storm here. Basically goes into detail about why even though the potential exists for this to be an all time snowstorm it's probably not going to get as close to that mark as some thought. Regardless of that we should still have a big snowstorm to enjoy finally after years. South Central PA has gotten screwed so much the past 6 years it's unreal. https://x.com/HurricaneAddict/status/2014852201026584815

Nice to be tracking a potential big one after all these years. I know a lot of the state hasn't seen a big snowstorm in 5 or 6 years now.

Honestly can be said for just social media in general. That stuff just rots your brain and so many people are just in it for the fame and money that comes with it now. Not worth a lot of peoples time I feel

It's funny you say you live rent free in his head but he hasn't responded since your last post to him 5 hours ago but you felt the need to respond to him again a second time hours later despite him not having said anything since then lol

I'd mark this down as another win for some of the AI models as well. They not only guessed the track better when models like the GFS, ICON and UKMET failed spectacularly but they also guessed the insane low pressure below 900mb which many didn't believe it would get to. So glad we finally have something else to use because the GFS has just been a mess the past 5 years. But really this was one of the hardest forecasts we've had in a while but the AI models really nailed it despite the fact.

I'm absolutely impressed with the buildings in Jamaica. Other than the roofs being blown off and destroyed most of the buildings are completely intact which is really good to see. I have a feeling if their homes weren't made with solid concrete that they would not have survived this well.
