KamuSnow Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 This is from the Mt. Holly AFD, climate section: 11/19 RECORD LOWS: 11/19 FORECAST LOWS: ACY 18 1936 ACY 18 PHL 20 1936 PHL 21 ILG 15 1936 ILG 19 ABE 11 1924 ABE 16 TTN 17 1936 TTN 18 GED 20 1959 GED 19 RDG 18 1936 RDG 16 MPO 10 1933 MPO 9 Should be interesting to see how this goes. I found the ABE record of 11 in 1924 interesting - for PHL on the same date, the high was 41, the low was 23. How did that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Who is going out later to freeze their butts off and watch the Leonids? Best viewing time is midnight to dawn, with 10 to 15 per hour. How many would you need to see to call it a success? Do you go back inside if 5 minutes have passed with none seen, or do you try to not waste your investment and hang in there stubbornly until you see one? If I'm awake I'll give it a shot. I haven't been outside lately to check the viewing conditions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 47F here, the high so far as well. Should get back to 32F here around 1 am or thereabouts. Better rethink that - still 41F here now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been outside lately to check the viewing conditions though. I generally give it at least 1/2 hour to 45 minutes as these things are erratic and you see them in bunches. Best i have ever seen is 20--25 an hour and this one tonight isn't one of the best. 37F may make freezing by midnight cold air is flooding over the apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Got it on the big plasma and saw one at 12:44! Congrats! Went outside and looked for about 10 minutes at 5:30 am - didn't see any, and it was a little too chilly/windy to persist. Shoveling snow would be another story of course. 24F here now, at 6:30 am. Coldest reading here so far this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're supposed to get another round Thursday and Thursday night followed by a warm-up of sorts with some rain early next week (similar to here). Hopefully not too warm and not too much rain.

KamuSnow Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 PHL's average diurnal range through the years... Interesting - at first I thought it might have something to do with more cloud cover, but couldn't find much data on that. It probably does have to do with nighttime temps being warmer (and warmer relative to daytime temps), whether due to cloud cover or not. I imagine this trend might not be as pronounced in less urban areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
