Voyager Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 It's all part of the current cycle, adjusting things back to normal levels for upcoming winter like the old days, more snow north (poconos) and less south phl/nj. LOL...not sure if that makes me happy or sad... Anyway, back when I used to live in the Lehigh Valley it always seemed like the best storms were in the coal region and Poconos. Now that I'm up here they all seem to be down there. I must be a jinx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These storms act to pull the moisture from the northern regions and dry up their precipitation. Coincidence or climate change i can't say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidence or climate change i can't say I was talking about the summer thunderstorms, but you're correct in your assessment as well. The past few winters have all featured more snow south and east of me than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslotted Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 say hello to my little friend... There were two more, though not as big, further up in the tree, which means there were many more I could not see. If my wife didn't turn the flood light on, we never would have seen them. The big one was connected to the top of the big umbrella, and a good 8-10ft over to the gutter of the house. The biggest and most elaborate I've maybe ever seen up close. There are a ton of bugs flying around tonight, they should do well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually the first one out my door when I'm On dayworks for my job. I have to walk out with my hands in front of me bc there's two 6' high bushes out front of door that spiders love to weave a web on. Gives me all the "jolt" I need to wake up at 6am!!

JCT777 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This nice weather is horrible. I am definitely getting old in thinking that this weather is superb, and am hoping it continues for the next 2 months. A younger version of me would think this weather is boring.

Harbourton Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Nice write up by Gorse/ Drag in the AFD today. THE WIND ASPECT WILL DETERMINE LOW TEMPERATURES AND TEMPERATURE TRENDS. WHERE THE WINDS DROP OFF SOONER, TEMPERATURES WILL TEND TODROP FASTER GIVEN THE MUCH LOWER DEW POINTS FORECAST. SOME LOWTEMPERATURES ACROSS THE POCONOS AND INTO FAR NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEYARE FORECAST TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 30S. WHILE A TOUCH OF FROSTCANNOT BE RULED OUT IT LOOKS TO BE RATHER LOCALIZED WITHTEMPERATURES FORECAST TO BE ABOVE THE MID 30S, AND CONFIDENCE IS NOTALL THAT HIGH GIVEN THAT SOME WIND MAY HANG ON LONG ENOUGH.THEREFORE, NO FROST MENTION WAS INCLUDED ATTM. Pretty impressive cold for this time of year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last couple months I have to walk my mower cut route with a stick and knock down a dozen or more webs i would otherwise get in the face, have talked to others that notice the same thing. I never had to do this in seasons past it's a pain in the butt. Webs at the house doors, garage doors similar problem.

Isotherm Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Is there something wrong with the KBLM temp sensor? I've noticed it seems to be running warm lately. Showing 90F there right now while all other nearby stations are mid 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 This wasn't a good week for the A/C system in my car to stop working. Thankfully, it's still working at my house. Upper 80's and low 90's temps with DP's over 70 are kinda warmish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
