Unrelenting drizzle, pushing 0.22”. 56F

Storm damage report: lawn strewn with leaves, twigs and acorns. Just surpassed the 0.15" barrier. We will rebuild. 55F

Finally picking up a steady mist, 58F.

I think I didn’t go to work that day because of the forecast. Yeah, I had some explaining to do the next day.

My not-so-good memory wants to say February 1989. The shore is the place to be for this storm. I feel bad for anyone back this way that changed or cancelled their plans because how this storm was hyped. Dr. No ftw!

Heading out into the storm to water my mums.

I’m counting on wrap-around rains to save the day

Conditions continue to deteriorate as I’m getting filtered sunlight, 62F.

Approaching 0.25”. Sump pumps keeping pace with the sporadic drizzle. A few small to medium sized leaves down on the lawn. Will post more obs if power stays on. 57F Edit: Regret not making a bread, milk and eggs run yesterday.

Lemme guess…your outlook will include the word “patience”.

First outer bands of Sandy 2 rolling through, 61F.

God bless the NAM, it wants to bring the low up the Chesapeake.

12z Euro says, "what storm??" It was over when the NYC and MA forums started threads on this.

I suppose the only good thing about last night is the Flyers are still in the running for Gavin McKenna

Cecily is old...I want MORE Payton!

Here's my optimistic spin as of Thursday am... The storm hasn't even formed yet, seems like you could classify it as a Miller B. We know how well those work out around here. Then we also need that piece of upper level energy to drop in and really set this thing off. Seems complicated. It this were winter and we were tracking snow, we'd be lamenting how we "don't do complicated well". There's still time for this to remain a larger area of junk and stuff that never fully gets it's act together in time to make Sunday a complete washout.

Congratulation! Sure, we need the rain, but here's hoping for a bright and sunny Sunday

Brutal Philly sports weekend. Don’t even have interesting weather to discuss

Topped out at 84F today. Better than Minneapolis which was supposed to approach 90F! WTF??? I should be wearing hoodies, hockey jerseys or flannels. But no, I’m still in my cabana wear from the Frank Costanza collection

Topped out at 85F imby.

I remember what must have been a Miller B bust in 1985. Went to bed under a Winter Storm Warning and woke up to filtered sun through cirrus clouds.

Makes sense. The winter of 1984-85 was extremely cold here in SE PA, but snow wise, it was mainly nickel & dime events. Suppression sounds about right.

I don’t recall, but I’ll say the girls. Let’s face it, if I had the ball and a bunch of girls were chasing me with the objective of tackling me and rolling around in the mud…yeah, I’m not going to try my best to avoid that outcome.

I was in college and had a part time job at a supermarket. The night Gloria hit, I had the 6 to midnight shift. I had to round up all the shopping carts, so I made a “raincoat” out of a Hefty trash bag. Drove back to school with branches coming down. Next day we played a mud football game against the girls.

Picked up about .70" for the week, bringing my monthly total to 2.60" 65F/DP 64F
