RedSky Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I don't get it there is no wind here still at 3am North in NYC and south they are clocking near 60mph Is this area the Twilight Zone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So far, it's been less windy here than other times this winter. Once the sun comes up and we get more mixing down it could be interesting. We'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recycle bin was knocked over but luckily I had a closed up box of stuff sitting on top that held most of it in place. Haven't seen any trees down on the roads, just a lot of small debris and someone's tarp laying in the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Heard on the KYW traffic report that there was a power outage around Castor and Frankford Ave. PECO reporting 4800 outages and map is showing a big outage in the area near Port Richmond in the city and in Cheltenham (around La Mott), plus scattered all around the Montco outskirts of NW Philly. I think this is just getting started. Hope power holds where I am. https://www.peco.com/Outages/CheckOutageStatus/Pages/OutageMap.aspx Temp here is 36.

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Groundhog just poked his head up and almost got rolled by a trashcan. Pretty calm here overall. Periodic gust to 15-20 every 10 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Police scanner and fire busy. Sounds like a 3 alarm a few blocks from my house here in Warminster. Lots of activity outside. Anyone in the area confirm? @Birds~69? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a 3 alarm fire near my shop last night but I think they got it out before the winds picked up. Right by 29/turnpike onramp in Treddyferin township, it was a construction site for a large retirement home. Currently stuck on side of road north of Reading, my coworker grabbed a truck with a messed up transmission. Tow just got here but we need an uber or something else to get us all to the jobsite. Never a dull moment, doesn't seem too windy here right now but a lot of low clouds zipping past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Plenty of trash cans out in the roads on the ride in to work this morning. Saw 3 downed tress, all in the Maple Glen area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 My building is constantly creaking from the wind...lots of branches down in my yard as I left this morning. My anemometer measured a 48 mph gust as the highest so far. Overall one of the windier days this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you must have the same weather black cloud that hangs over me. Anomolous weather seems to skip over me. Even during Sandy, when it was hell on earth in many locations (90mph gust in Allentown) it was rather calm and benign in Tamaqua. So much so that while most of the region lost power and had major damage, our lights burned bright, and nary a tree branch fell... It was unbelievable. It was like someone put a plexiglass dome over the borough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember driving by there on the way to Niagara Falls and the area is really pretty (IMHO). Some stations near me have reported 40+ mph gusts as a note. The winds have really picked up here now. Temp is a chilly 38.

This season has provided flooded cellars, power outages, busted pipes, now property damage....this "winter" seriously cant end fast enough. I'm guessing just before spring equinox I can expect an F4 to flatten my property. Or a March fluke 3 foot concrete snow pasting to cave in my roof.
