Rainshadow Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 0.69" so far, looks like the GFS aside from the too large triple low is going to win this one here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmorninglight Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Just under an inch in Cape May. Winds beginning to veer more SSW. Warm 70F. Peeper frogs calling from the swamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 One can tell a real Cape May County- ite when his weather reports include peeper response. Out here on the mainland I am happy with today's storm as it brought down a massive oak branch that Irene had left hanging over the driveway -about 30 feet up - like a loose tooth. Relieved to no longer have that 'hanging over my head! On 10/20/2011 at 12:48 AM, Redmorninglight said: Just under an inch in Cape May. Winds beginning to veer more SSW. Warm 70F.

Voyager Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 1.00" here for the event. Just had an extremely heavy downpour that woke me up out of a sound sleep. Again, the new total for Allentown (YTD) is: SINCE JAN 1 60.86 Does anyone know if this is a record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the NWS Mt Holly site, and the local historical data for ABE is messed up. I asked for yearly precip extremes, and got daily extremes. The best info I could find is 52.96" since 1980. I know ABE records go back much further than that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I did a Google search and came up empty as well, even on the state climatologist page. Thanks for trying though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the main low went up west of the Appalachians, I don't think you can really call this a nor'easter. This was just a long tropical fetch with 95L getting entrained into the flow. All of the baroclinic energy was well to the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the correct answer is 67.69 inches in 1952. At least, that's what NCDC's records say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably confirm the yearly total by adding up daily totals on the Utah Climate Center's site, though. http://climate.usurf.usu.edu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
