63 here, mostly cloudy but the sun is making the occasional appearance. Went out for a walk a little over an hour ago and with the overcast sky and gusty winds, it felt like early November. Even with the sun out, it feels more like mid-fall than late August.

(Approximately) .3 in the rain gauge, with light but steady rainfall at the moment. It will be absolutely perfect if this keeps up all day. We could use the higher volume rain here, no risk of flooding here at all but if we get an inch of rain from a longer duration light rainfall, my whole neighborhood will be very happy. Bubbler and everyone else who’s been really hurting for rain this year, hope all of you cash in.

Sudden, massive downpour right now here in East York, about 1.5 north of the Mt Zion exit on Rt 30. Already looks to be significantly slowing down after about a minute. Obviously I prefer a slow soaker, but we have not been lucky with recent pop up storms so we’ll take whatever rain we can get. Edit - rain stopped, sun back out within just a few minutes, and my (very imprecise) gauge shows about .2, maybe a hair under.

I’m located halfway between the 85 in Mount Wolf and the 92 just east of York city, and despite the sun having set it still definitely felt like upper 80s when I walked the recycle bin down to the end of our lane around 9 pm. There was just enough light breeze to make it slightly less suffocating than it has been for most of the day.

I’m so relieved for you and your family, that your son is going to be alright. We had a similar scare in the fall of 2020 when our daughter had a traumatic brain injury. We were extremely lucky that she lived and went on to make essentially a full recovery with only minor lingering effects. Wishing your son a speedy and full recovery, free of complications.

It’s partly sunny at the moment but around 1:15 this afternoon there were some flurries at the dog park at John Rudy.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully we all see significant improvement this winter and next spring.

A lot less rain than expected here, too; just a hair over .5” in the rain gauge this morning. Not too terribly unusual for my neighborhood, we almost always get less precip than forecast and less than surrounding areas, but I thought we were looking at a minimum of .75 this time.

As of 10:45 am, it’s 38 degrees and the flurries have just become a flizzard here in East York. First snowflakes of the season — happy winter, everyone.

Those of you who keep detailed stats might be able to confirm or correct me if I’m wrong but I think it was summer of 2021 that there was a massive heat wave over much of the western and middle portions of the US, with unprecedented heat in the Pacific Northwest (and I believe in places like Wisconsin and Minnesota). Here on the forum we kept dreading the heat’s inevitable expansion east, but it never really happened. We only had typical heat throughout the summer —some really hot days, to be sure— but nothing unexpected. Hopefully that will be the case this year, too. September is right around the corner.

Yes, my own rain gauge showed a hair over .50. Hopefully more to come next week. We still plan to be very frugal with water usage but the water pressure seemed a little better this morning than it has for the past couple months.
-
Yeah, we’ve had very little all week. Striking out so far. Hoping something comes our way soon.

Same here in East York. A couple minutes of some very light rain and that was it. On a related note, I haven’t yet seen any fireflies here this season. Most years they’re here by early June and some years as early as late May. I’ve been loving the chilly overnight lows and the low dew points, but I’m sure that’s contributing to the delayed firefly season (or lightning bugs, as the kids around here call them). Pains me when anything abbreviates their season since they’re already in significant decline.

I don’t know how accurate the iweather.net digital radar is but it’s showing .65 for the past 24 hours and a total of 1.47 for the past 72, which is probably pretty accurate. We always seem to have lower rainfall totals than elsewhere in the LSV. Guess some of us will still have to keep our fingers crossed for more rain in the next few weeks.

The Ides of March end of Winter 2023
Streak replied to paweather's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
I always worry about this but the more extreme winds don’t seem to come to fruition here and I’m grateful every single time. But we do have some strong winds (in the 25 mph range) at times when it’s not in the forecast or mentioned at all, like what Bubbler mentioned upthread. Happens at least 3 or 4 times each spring. But thankfully, we haven’t experienced any 50-60 mph winds.
