    Still getting all light rain and have an additional 0.08" in the bucket for 0.11" for the day (so far), which his 1.50" 3-day total, and probably should add the 0.04" from the 19th, for a 1.54" 4-day total. The temps continue to ease down and I'm currently at 36 with dp 35 with light rain.

    Haven't had any flakes here but had drizzle enough to wet the walk earlier and am now under a band of some light rain that has deposited 0.03" of liquid precip. Someone in Honeybrook reported 0.5" of snow. Am at my low for the day (so far) of 37, with dp 36 and light rain.

    My high for the day ended up being just after midnight at 51 and the temps have been slowly falling since. Briefly got under a band and added another 0.2" to my day's total, for 0.85" for the day, and 1.39" for the 2-day event total so far. Currently 41 with dp 38.

    Looks like the low is hanging near or just off the Jersey coast and some bands are backing in with it. The doppler animation is kind of wild with the flows going in all different directions. Temps have dropped a degree here to 43 with dp 42 and overcast skies.

    Miracle of miracles. Rain. Had 0.54" before midnight, which was my highest daily total, literally since August 8 (when there was > 1/2"). After midnight resulted in another 0.61". After a pause, had been getting a round 2 for with another 0.04", for a daily total of 0.65" (so far) and a 2-day total of 1.19" at post time! Currently a misty 44, with the last of this round moving out, and dp 44.

    Mt. Holly lofted a Wind Advisory for the lower tier of the CWA starting tonight - Hope your decorations are somewhat secure (might be hard with the inflatables). Made it up to 62 and it's currently 55 with dp 43.

    Was seeing a billion "notifications" and finally got chance to get in here to check. Wasn't sure if it was due to the rare "liquid substance from the sky" or some actual or progged incoming "frozen substance from the sky" (given the WWA and Watches up for the northern CWA). I made it up to 59 yesterday after a low of 44, and had a low this morning of 49, with an amazing 0.04" of rain that happened sometime between 10 pm - 11 pm. In any case, looking forward to some actual soaking rain now. Will have to see where the triple point sets up and whether that generates anything convective. Haven't yet looked at the models but I know the GFS likes to spin stuff up before caving later... Currently partly cloudy and 59 with dp 48.

    Had some non-diurnal temp swings overnight where I bottomed out at 31 (first below freezing for me this season) just after midnight and then suddenly there was a (relative) warm-up between midnight and 1 am (could have been clouds that advected in and killed the radiational cooling), where the temp rose to the mid-30s and leveled out there the rest of the night. It's currently mostly cloudy and 39 with dp a dry 25.

    When I used to have a saltwater reef tank, I actually DID have a RO setup that I ran the water through! Don't forget the inevitable "dry slot" that opens up over YBY! Finally caved and turned the heat on (and knew I needed to get the humidifiers going with it). Made it up to 48 for a high today and it's currently 35 with dp 26.

    It IS (mostly) Schuylkill Punch. https://billypenn.com/2015/06/18/schuylkill-punch-why-philly-tap-water-tastes-this-way-and-why-its-not-bad-for-you-really/ There are 2 intakes along the Schuylkill River and 1 adjacent to the Delaware River, the latter one that generated some drama when there was a chemical spill in Bristol, not far from the intake - https://water.phila.gov/drops/phila-water-dept-monitoring-spill-at-bucks-county-facility/. I use a Pur filter on my faucet for drinking purposes anyway. Had my first "at freezing" (32) temp since March 25, just after 5:30 this morning, and it's currently sunny and 37, with dp a dry 26.

    That is maybe for "suburban Philly" (e.g., for the Aqua Pennsylvania servicing area), but our water (PWD) comes from a couple sources including the Wissahickon Watershed (and several other watersheds in and around the city) And then of course, the Delaware River (that obviously starts way up in NY where they are also having some drought issues). https://water.phila.gov/watersheds/wissahickon/ As an obs, I bottomed out at 49 this morning and it's possible my "high" of 57 will be at midnight. Currently sunny and 51 with dp 35.

    And the record dry spell IMBY has ended at 41 days, resulting in 0.15" before midnight and another 0.21" after midnight, with the heaviest between 1 am - 2 am. The 2-day event total is 0.36" so far. It's currently a misty 58 with dp 57.

    No tipsy of the bucket from that round 1. I guess since the "main event" wasn't progged until later this afternoon and overnight, perhaps another round will be able to get over that hurdle! Otherwise I'll be at day 42 of non-measurable.
  14. Hurricane Agnes
    Am getting a "wetting event" but bucket hasn't tipped yet. Will it do it this time? Stay tuned! Temp is 55 with dp 46.

    I was just out putting down my patio umbrella and was like WTF? Droplets! They were strays and so far not amounting to anything close to my non-measurable "wetting event" on Nov. 1st, but still something with more potential to the west. I actually bottomed out at 34 this morning, which was my coldest since March 25, thanks to the bone dry air mass (dp was 26 at that point), 0 wind, and perfect radiational cooling. It's currently overcast.dripping, and 55, with dp that has recovered to 42. ETA - I am up to 41 days of non-measurable up to today. Am hoping to get something measurable today.
