heavy_wx Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Around 60F here with sun; we still have some residual moisture ahead of the cold front with dew points in the mid-50s. Nice to finally get rid of that awful easterly flow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunis Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Beautiful day here. Gonna start needing AC within the next couple weeks, I still think it's crazy that a lot of the older apartments here don't come with it as a standard feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna start needing AC within the next couple weeks, I still think it's crazy that a lot of the older apartments here don't come with it as a standard feature I guess it depends on personal preference; I didn't use AC at all last summer since the warmest it got here was 89F.

MillvilleWx Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I guess it depends on personal preference; I didn't use AC at all last summer since the warmest it got here was 89F. Wow. I would love to have your tolerance for the heat. I can't stand it when temperatures are above 80F, unless the dew point is low. I love the 50's to mid 70's as the best temperatures. I think I should just move to New England lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 My AC use is dependent usually on how the nights are. If it's high 80 but low 55-60, I can stay away from it. However, if the humidity is going up and thus my room doesn't cool off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Went for a 45 minute walk at lunch and came back sweaty. This is why I don't like warmer temps, you get sweaty and then struggle to look normal during working hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Tomorrow is shaping up to be a beautiful day for the whole state. I'm not usually one to plug something, but tomorrow is Millersville's Public Weather Awareness Day or PWAD for short. My friend has been working on this for a year as its part of our AMS chapter. If you're in the area or would like to come out and support, please stop by. Free food and drinks, big name vendors and lots of great educational and fun booths for kids and adults. We'll also be launching a weather balloon at the end of event, so come on out!! 11am - 3pm at Pucillo Gym off Pucillo Drive in Millersville, PA. Hope to see some come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well, hello all. After hearing about the upcoming rain storm followed by a significant cool spell I just took a look at the 18Z GFS. Major lol's. We go below zero at 850 beginning at hour 81 and remain CONTINUOUSLY below zero until hour 213!! That's like 6 days. WOW. Looks like we may drop below 32 degrees at some point during that spell. But before that we have 2" of rain to contend with from now through tomorrow. Stay tuned... >>PS: I hit 84 degrees here yesterday for my high temp. This was my first high above 80 and warmest temp so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 We were in Texas Thur-yesterday. Saw a tornado, golf ball size hail, 6" rain in 2 hrs and came within 200 yards of a tree falling and killing us while we were pulled off the road Thursday night in a storm (couldn't see the road in front of your face). Unfortunately said tree did hit a car that had pulled over in front of us and killed the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
