am19psu Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Agreed. Mid 50's up here in the late afternoon on June 4th... I actually didn't mind the temps, but at least where I was in Berwyn, we had off and on showers all day and the sun never came out. It was gross.

famartin Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 How about June mornings in the 30s? Or (tomorrow) a June morning in the 20s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a little sun early in the afternoon, but after about 3pm, it was cloudy the rest of the day/evening with the same off and on showers you saw.

jwilson Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It always seems like mild weather brings more mild weather (i.e. mild winter equates to mild summer). Has there ever been a mild winter followed by a really hot summer? I'm sure it has happened at some point, but if I had to guess I'd say it goes against the norm. Perhaps it is just affirmation bias. Either way, I thought we were hitting a peak solar cycle? Or is that over now? Those pics are whiter than most Januaries around here haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could maybe say the same for 09-10 winter but that was snowy, not so much cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaoPos Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Alright. Just cause I'm bored at work. Got some pics of some storm damage from straight line winds. Anyone wanna take a guess of the wind speed that would cause such damage? Tree snapped at the base. Roots intact: 75-100 ft tree pretty healthy looking toppled over: Widespread tree damage at a particular intersection. Numerous trees and braces down: Another few trees snapped at the base: Healthy trees snapped in half: Tombo reported 76mph...just curious to see how accurate it was.

Boch23 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yup that second picture of the tree pretty much shattered is still one of my top pictures from that day. That and the 250+ year old tree on a car (nobody injured thankfully) being my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Awesome double rainbow last evening even though it didn't rain -- maybe call it a virgabow? 46.7 this morning and I thought yesterday it wouldn't get to 48 again until fall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 that was 2 years ago in june like the 24. Never seen damage like that around here. My guess.....those winds must have been 90-100 mph. I was in the middle of the 98' derecho in upstate NY which where I experience winds to nearly 90 mph and the damage was similar caused by straight line winds.

tombo82685 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Looks like it was June 24, 2010. PHL recorded a gust to 75 mph. yea i have a lot of damage photos from that storm on my facebook. Here are some of the worse damage ones from that album i have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaoPos Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Mike, I know PHL reported a solid 76mph.. However, I believe our area in delco might have got it a little worse. I've sen 60mph wind gust damage before, and it was nothing near the scope of this. A tree here, a tree there,. This was pretty widespread as shown by tombo and my pics. Was just curious to see if the wind reported was in line with the damage pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pissed that day cause i didnt have my anemometer tightened down enough and the wind blew it right off lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg ralls Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 That was an incredible storm. We missed the worst of it here at the office in King of Prussia, though it was still pretty intense. You could tell there was a terrible storm sliding by just to our south. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/er/phi/storms/06262010.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boch23 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I know I've posted these before but since we are on the topic and I love showing them: http://outdoors.webs...578137593rgWfeS. Hope everyone got their new roofs back then Again the tree on Greenwood Ave. will be my lasting memory from that storm. Still amazes me nothing more than cuts and scratches to those in the car. Was fun driving through it after they cut out the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
