famartin Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 ABE shattered today's record of 71 Currently 75 With a windchill of 78 TTN reached their record of 76 at 2PM. My parents are sitting at 78 right now. Usually they run a degree or so cooler than the ASOS so it probably got at least that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2010 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My parents are sitting at 78 right now. Usually they run a degree or so cooler than the ASOS so it probably got at least that high. Sussex and Somerville are both at 77, so it wouldn't surprise me. Newark is the cool spot with 73.....what ?? getting a pretty good thunderstorm in wilkes-barre right now!!! Not even a rumble of thunder yet just to your E. 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike2010 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Saw this on CNN pretty interesting/sad story. http://www.cnn.com/2....html?hpt=hp_t3 kind of a hero in a sense, telling the others to bail. This part fascinated me - (how he hung in there...kinda like a storm chaser) "The storm was pulling the balloon closer towards it, so he asked the skydivers to bail out. He had them jump from about 5,000 feet." While the five skydivers landed safely and were picked up, Ristaino and the balloon continued heading southeast and rose another 2,000 feet, McLemore said. "He went up into the clouds and had radio contact with his ground crew and told them it was hailing on him, there was lightning and rain and heavy wind," he said. An updraft carried Ristaino up to about 17,000 or 18,000 feet above ground before a downdraft collapsed the balloon and sent him plummeting. Ristaino stayed calm and talked to his ground crew on the radio the entire time he was falling. "I'm in trouble. I'm falling. I don't have anything above my head," McLemore recalled from accounts told to him. The balloonist said he was falling at 2,000 feet per minute, but an altimeter reading says he may have been falling as quickly as 60 to 90 mph, McLemore said. "As he was falling, he did a countdown. He couldn't see anything because he was in the clouds. But when he broke through the clouds, he said, 'I see trees,' and that's the last thing they heard." A friend of Ristaino's called him an "accomplished balloon pilot" who had logged "many hours of safe balloon operation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wederwarrior Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 watch this stretch be the warmest temps for the remainder spring I would be happy if that were true, or if the spring "topped out" in the lower 80's... But I think we are in for some 90's heat this "spring" Happy Equinox everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 watch this stretch be the warmest temps for the remainder spring Sadly, I worry about this in the back of my mind. Payback by Mother Nature. Oh well, 74 degrees now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehens Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 In 7 years at my current house I have never seen it so dry on the first day of spring and I live in a wooded, lower-lying part of my neighborhood. I don't mind the dryness so much right now but I can't see how it bodes well for summer. Going to be hot again I think but I wonder how the current lack of precip will affect mosquito populations. I killed my first one last night. Unbelievable....usually don't have to worry about them until May normally. I cannot honestly stand that we're hitting near 80 already either. Can't open the windows because of all the pollen and allergies with family members so we're forced to already hit the A/C to cool the 2nd floor down at night. Sucks.....I'd rather see seasonal temps like 60ish. Going to be a brutal summer I think for those of us who hate the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally hear what you're saying, and who knows for sure, but I got a look at EarthSat's summer outlook for this season and it looks like July and August will be around normal temp wise, with May and June being above normal. I'm hugging that for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 One might be complaining about how dry it is in the yard but it's pretty humid out today...dew points are 55-60...not quite highest ever but it's still high for this time of the year.

Parsley Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 After last spring/summer I'm not stressing about a lack of rain. We went from concerns of droughts to massive flooding last year. Mother Nature finds a way to even things out in the long run in this neck of the woods...........atleast most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
