JCT777 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 33.2 this morning in NW Chesco. Down to a few piles and scattered patches in the yard. Today should pretty much kill it. 32.7 in Spring Mount this morning...and also down to a few small piles of snow in the yard (where I shoveled...anything that wasn't piled up has already melted).

PaMike Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 The snow is gone but we still have roads closed due to downed trees and power lines here in Berks. My power just came back yesterday but some probably will not get power back until late this weekend or some time next week. New roads need to be built to access some of the downed lines.

Parsley Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 got to 63 today. Nice, even with the high clouds and breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Got to 59.5 yesterday (60) and only down to 41.2 this morning. Only plowpiles left. Was kind of weird yesterday to see pretty much the only naturally accumulated snow left was on north facing rooftops. I guess that where the deepest accums happened, therefore the longest to melt.

iceman56 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 the sun angle and deflection of the warm breezes is the reason for no snow melt on the north side True, but I did notice that the accumulations on the roof of my shingled unheated shed matched my snow board which were more than ever accumulated on the still relatively warm ground. Thinking that the rooftops cooled more quickly - sort of like 'bridge freezes before road surface'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastonwx Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Fun is a word I would not use. I vow to be ready for next time. Just being out 50 hrs was an inconvenience for me. I think the toughest thing was making sure my elderly mom was safe and comfortable. I'm assuming a generator purchase is in your future plans?

daxx Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 After getting snow last weekend, I feel like I should be looking for the next storm. That was a BIG tease! Oh well, hopefully late November, or early December we can get a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boreal Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Can we officially use the term Indian Summer for the upcoming week of mild temps? Was surprised to see a substantial amount of snow on the ground down your way yesterday morning. Granted, it was only on north facing hillsides, but still incredible to see 6 days after the storm.

iceman56 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 27.1 this morning in NW Chesco. Coldest so far. Still quite a few stubborn plow piles and piles from snow that slid off metal roofs surviving a week after the snow fell even temps were in the 50's to near 60 every day.

Granted, it was only on north facing hillsides, but still incredible to see 6 days after the storm. I was actually driving on some heavily shaded roads this morning and noticed a bit of snow still. It's been below freezing several nights this week so I'm sure that helped it survive this long, too. Low of 26 here this AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boch23 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Question. So on thursday I was walking out of work and noticed a rainbow up in the sky. it wasn't a full rainbow or anything and the only clouds that were around were high wispy ones. Anyone ever seen this or know what would cause it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just incredible to even be discussing it though given the calendar. Your low temps are impressive. Here, on a hillside in Bangor, I just don't get those advantages on radiating nights.

Grothar Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 25 this morning = cold morning yet here. 23 here in Macungie. The leaves are finally turning color on the burning bushes-- a sign that it will be colder in the next couple of weeks (after this Indian summer week). The next chance of snow is when all of the leaves fall of the bushes. The squirrels have been burying nuts like crazy and the mallards and wood ducks have returned to the Little Lehigh in my backyard - an early sign of winter. The creek was really steaming this morning. The woolly bears are still all black and the mosquitoes are gone. December is not looking above average in the temps according to nature and thanksgiving could be white if the timing of the fronts is just right? Anyway, still have snow piles on my deck (north side of the house). Interesting end of the month for the weather coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting end of the month for the weather coming up. i'm definetely going to enjoy the nice weather the next week or two before possible changes heading towards the holiday or thereafter. Snowmelt definetely keeping the Perk. Creek running higher than normal. Saw someone from the USGS checking on the Graterford Gauge the other day, probably checking on how the gauge/building help up from the 18+' crest from Irene.

I had some pansies in pots still outside, interesting to see if they bounce back from that. If not, its a trip to Otts today for Kale. They usually make it til New Years.

iceman56 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 25.7 for the coldest morning yet in NW Chesco. Still some snow piles left. Noticed a restaurant up the road with cedar shakes still holding a decent snow cover on a sheltered portion of the roof. Amazing how snow can hang on in the low sun angle even when it's pretty mild.
