Voyager

I had seven gusts over 20 and two over 30. Guess that probably rules out the neighbor messing with me with a leaf blower...lol

Who else had wind? Finally getting good gusts with this new station. I do think my old one was too low with wind speed.

Got me by a hundredth....lol

Nothing really here yet. Peak gust jumped to 7.9 mph. Since the neighbor removed a big pine tree in their backyard, my station is more open. Last week after the front, I recorded a 24 mph gust.

Wow!!! What a storm... So far I'm up to 0.01" and recorded a peak wind gust of 6.8 mph. What a far cry from all the social media doomsday posts as well as what the models were sometimes showing a few days ago

I saw that swath of heavier precipitation out your way. Here its been nothing but drizzle. I've yet to record even 0.01" on the Tempest, but the most I've seen from conventional tipping bucket gauges locally is 0.03".

Not sure about this Tempest weather station. I guess drizzle drops aren't heavy enough to register on the hepatic rain gauge. It's been drizzling for over 4 hours here, and it hasn't even measured 1/100 of an inch. I might have to replace it at some point (maybe New Year) with a traditional weather station. Especially since I already know it won't register snow flakes. At least with a traditional tipping bucket, once the snow melts, it measures the liquid equivalent.

This... 100%

You're right. If Tamaqua were big time, I'd be in the inner city.

31 this morning here. How many times over the past year or so have you beaten me by one degree???

We had snow showers in Tamaqua in May of 2020 so I suppose anything is possible. I never thought I'd ever see May snowflakes, but we did that year.

Bradford and State College = Impressive!

I know it's out of forum, but the place holds dear to my heart. While a lot of talk is being done about the upcoming nor easter, the desert southwest may see some epic rainfall from two tropical Pacific systems. It'll be interesting to see how THAT plays out...

Got 1.26" in Tamaqua.

For October, yes, a scorcher. Even here in the coal region hills of PA, I topped out at 86.

Topped out at 86 today.

That's kind of what I thought.

Hour past nooners and 83 here...so far. Part of me wishes we'd stay this warm through Halloween. Outside of a few early turners, nearly all the trees are still summer green. The anomaly lover in me wants to see how long it would hold, or would the lack of sunlight/photosynthesis turn them regardless of the summer-like temps.

Dammit....

39.2 in Tamaqua. For once I beat your overnight low....lol

Remember the year we had 90's in October? I think it was either 07 or 08.

I say bring it. We definitely need some good rain here in Eastern PA.

I didn't write this, but its both funny and almost true...lol Buckle up, because if you’re rolling through Pennsylvania and manage to pronounce every single one of these names without stopping for directions, you’ve basically beaten the state’s secret language exam. First stop is Bryn Mawr, where it sounds like you’re clearing your throat but it’s actually just Main Line fancy talk. Then you cruise into Wilkes-Barre, which is pronounced twelve different ways depending on how many Yuenglings the guy has had at the bar that night. Hit Schuylkill, where the river itself is named after the sound your car makes when it hits a giant pothole. Then there’s Bala Cynwyd, which looks like a cheat code but is actually just “Ball-uh Kin-wood” said at 40mph. By the time you get to Duquesne, you’re wondering why half the letters are silent and if the French ever apologized. Swing through New Tripoli, where if you say it wrong the locals will politely tar and feather you with pierogi. Over in Tunkhannock, you can’t pronounce it right until you’ve eaten a hoagie the size of your head. Then comes Punxsutawney, where the groundhog gets it right but you still don’t. In Tamaqua, every vowel takes a nap halfway through the word, so good luck with that. Susquehanna is where you finally lose your will to live halfway through the syllables. Allegheny sounds easy until someone from Pittsburgh corrects you with three extra vowels you didn’t know existed. And then Monongahela, which is less a name and more an endurance spor. You need electrolytes just to get through it. If you can say them all back-to-back, PennDOT gives you a free EZPass and every deer in the state will salute to you before they jump in front of you.

Hey, it's just mother nature tipping her hand as to how winter's going to play out...lol

Actually did pretty well. 1.56"
