Blizzard of 93 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 8 hours ago, Itstrainingtime said: It's summer with summertime weather. As much as I dislike the heat, I don't expect anything different. Just please give me some cold (not 30s and 40s, that is NOT cold) weather this winter. Please. 30 or 40 inches of snow next season would be great to go along with some cold temps too! Heck, after the total failure of last year, 20 inches of snow next season might even seem awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Just finished up another great thunderstorm. Torrential rains that looked like it was snowing as the winds blew repeatedly over 30mph. I had at least 4 separate gusts into the 30's with the highest gust at 35mph. It only lasted maybe 15 minutes depositing 0.28" of rainfall. It seems that almost every storm that has managed to hit me in the past month has delivered high wind gusts and torrential rains for a time. Looks like Mechanicsburg getting hit pretty hard right now but it's going to pass maybe just south of MDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 No power here at the campsite, water running everywhere and lightning snapping all around us. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one last little burst that put us up to 2.82" for the event. Both storms that got us formed nearly right over Tamaqua, and just kept building. Each one produced hail, but the second one was more intense than the first and produced the larger sized stones pictured, as well as wind that brought down a few large tree limbs. There was about a half hour lull between the storms. The USGS automated gauge shows slightly more at almost exactly 3 inches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Were haven't been getting much precipitation up this way. Picked up 1/2" in a storm last week. That's been it. River is getting real Skinny up here. Could be a good time to invest in boat prop stock. Stay cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 15 hours and counting without power. How people in York County put up with Met Ed is beyond me. 55 years of living in Lanco and never had an outage last this long. This isn't even a widespread event.

Bubbler86 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 The entire Susquehanna Valley as well as points West to near State College and Altoona remain socked in. A threat to the string of 90+ days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met Ed might be the worst utility company I have ever come across. They have outages that last a week that anyone else would have back in a day.

Ahoff Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 This heat wave has proved itself to me in Pittsburgh. Officially hit 90 today, fifth day in a row. Was 94 yesterday, but the dew point was about 56, so, it wasn't too bad. We've been very lucky to have generally low dew points the entire time. A few spikes here and there, think it peaked around 68 one morning, usually falls to near 60 or lower later. Today, is the best chance of rain we've had in 8 days, and that's not even guaranteed. Also, looks like next week the heat returns. Could we have a record hot July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean seriously...I am NOT a complainer, but I don't understand being out of power for nearly 19 hours now when this was NOT a major event. As a PPL customer this is mind boggling to me.

I thought we had a legit shot at breaking the record for consecutive days of 90 or above. I'm all about records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely won't break that record, but wonder if the monthly 90 degree record could be in jeopardy (17, July 1988)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
