Haha, that's off by 1.5", but radar estimation was horrendous the whole storm. It was at 0.42 when I was at 1.36

Yes, according to that map I'm just inside the 1.5" shading but I had 2.42" at 1pm.

1.97 “ of rain and still some rain showers. Much needed….

[canderson]

2.56” total. It is gorgeous out - 64 and blue skies. Winds blowing around 26.

1.90 rain from the event.

Not surprisingly, MDT set a daily rainfall record.

It's actually spot on for Tamaqua. I got 1.18" and that map shows me in the 1.00 to 1.25 inch gradient.

Wind throughout the column can really throw off the estimates. The inaccuracies align with the nearest soundings yesterday. Some places south and west should have gotten a little more than what's reflected on that map but as I mentioned wins throughout the column effect, it, so it's a little more complicated than that.

Wind kicked in around 3:30 am. Should be strongest from say noon to 4 pm - probably a lot of gusts close to or at 50 given the winds aloft and forcing. 

[Blizzard of 93]

1.90 of rain in Marysville for the event.

Happy Halloween! There is a wind advisory in effect till midnight tonight and it will be a bit chillier than normal with temperatures falling into the mid to upper 40's and breezy. So, make sure to dress those trick or treaters accordingly if heading out for some treats. Temperatures for the next week will average close to or a little below normal for the first week of November. That said, while most of our valley spots have had several freezes, here on the higher ridge locales we have still not seen a frost or freeze, and this looks to continue for at least the next week. Our next rain chances look to be possible by Wednesday night.

Low of 49. One of the biggest days of the year for the kiddos.

We are so ready for tonight. Tagging along with our daughter, husband and our granddaughter. They live in Florin Hill, last year was our first time out with her (she was 2) and she filled her bucket in about 20 minutes. There is SO much trick or treat potential awaiting in that development tonight. (Pappy just might have a second bucket in reserve to keep the good times rolling a little longer  )

Neighbor is getting a roof done today. Ummmmmmm ok. 

We every Halloween go to our friends who have a little girl. We do their candy so they can take her around. They get like 400 kids, it’s awesome. Tonight will be pretty miserable unfortunately

We had our last night. Thankfully they held off making a decision until noon yesterday because the night was beautiful. My daughter had a blast, gets to go to her friend's Halloween sleep over tonight, then gets to trick her treat once more Saturday at her friend's house. I'm thankful that the worst of the winds should be gone by trick or treat tonight. Falling branches combined with masses of flesh wearing attire with poor visibility and mobility at night just feels like tragedy in waiting.

You hand out IPA's to the adults?

Actually yes. Well tonight it’ll be Bells Two Hearted Ale ha

That 38 mph gust i recorded a few weeks back had to be some kind of outside influence other than wind, because I haven't seen anything over 20 since then. Not even yesterday or today where my wind gusts have been 11.8 and 12.3 respectively.

I’ve seen this done before. Sometimes it’s shots too. Always a winner ha.

Wait, you’re really handing out Bells? What neighborhood will you be in? Asking for a friend.

When my kids were younger and trick-o-treating, it was great running into those houses with beer for the adults.

39 is my highest is for. Getting a 30+ gust about every 5 minutes. MDT seems to have hit a 37 max but the main mixing starts now.

It’s off 81 north of the river but south of Wilkes Barre. See you there!

Lol... haven't even cracked 13 in my backyard. But if you've ever been to or through Tamaqua you'd see how protected we are by nearby mountains. Even in Sandy, while all hell was breaking loose in the more open townships, we were "relatively calm" here. I could hear the roar of the trees on the mountain tops surrounding the town, but it really was a near non event in town itself. We were one of the few areas that didn't lose power at some point during that storm.

We should switch houses!
