We talked about this some time ago - whatever happened to the days when a front would come through and temps would crash 25-30 degrees in less than an hour? Maybe age is distorting reality somewhat in my mind, but I seem to recall times when I was younger when it would be 58 at 3pm and 32 at 4pm. Fronts don't seem to pack the same bite as they did years ago.
Nothing scientific...this is where I say "I think" - it seems in general that during our cooler months of the year, temps always seem to be overdone on the colder side in the mid to long range, and then start modifying as time gets closer. When was the last time it was modeled to get to say 10 degrees 7 days out and it actually ended up even colder than that?
Much more often it seems like it ends up around 18-20 instead of 10.
I took my wife to the orchard last Friday - absolutely perfect day, and it wasn't crowded. So far she's made muffins, a pie, apple sauce and apple crisp...we still have apples coming out of our fannies...
So glad to hear that all is well!
My wife wants me to take her to a craft show on Saturday - I told her she's getting out of bed early, because we'll be done crafting by 11:15 so that we can get home and I get properly adjusted for the day's important event...
I was going to tag you in a post this morning to see if you were okay - I was concerned as you haven't posted much lately. (I know you're busy with fatherly duties and the house situation)
I wonder how much will actually fall with the squall line - seems like while it might rain quite hard in some places, not sure it rains long enough to pull off those amounts.
Also from MU this afternoon:
a line of strong thunderstorms at the leading edge of the cold front may bring locally damaging winds (up to 60 mph) to the Lower Susquehanna Valley between ~1-7 p.m. Thursday. More widespread, 40-50 mph gusts and brief, torrential downpours will be common.
