    Allentown had 3.9" snow on April 2nd in 2018

     

     

    I remember sometime in the late 70s/early 80s we had a rain storm which turned to sleet then snow in April. I was delivering late afternoon papers on my Huffy and witnessed the entire transition. Cool stuff as a kid and still cool now...

    Trough after trough and endless cold rainstorms in the long range wouldn't be surprised for a run at 10" this month

    Sure hope something changes this looks like an April version of May 2005

     

    I don't have a problem with this at all...anything to hold off the heat.

    The precip was really  beneficial to the Little Lehigh Creek watershed. I just received my first USGS gauge flood alert on the Little Lehigh at RT 100 this year.  My personal alerts are calibrated to when the stream jumps out of it banks, which visibly it has. Once it gets to around 4.5 ft, Spring Creek Rd is completely underwater. The USGS staff from state college  and myself have successfully calibrated this new telemetry digital gauge over the last 2-3 years for issuance of flash/flood warnings in our area. Thats why I am called the drought guy.   LOL
