CoralRed Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 This is not the rhetorical question that I thought it would be, after tooling around a bit just now looking for more info about this smoke: Will anybody here be able to meet or beat the Empire State building on smoke for yesterday, June 6? Now I am also wondering if NYC will beat itself today but we will have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yardstickgozinya Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 The smoke really moved in thick over night. I have never seen or smelled wild fire smoke like this . Visibility and air quality was way down from 10:00PM until 2:00AM. Conditions then improved for a few hours,but around 4:30AM viability, and air quality appear, and smell to be deteriorating again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anduril Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Air smelled and tasted terrible when I took the puppy out at 1am. Not as bad at 6am when we went for walk but still noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahantango#1 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Not sure of the name of the bright star/planet in the western/northwestern sky thats been bright after sunset for the last several weeks.

Mount Joy Snowman Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Low of 51. Very curious to see how bad the smoke gets later this afternoon and evening. This is certainly an anomalous event for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models backing up the chance next week...just a bit....and more like a front pass vs. a soaking vort. Friday still stands as a decent chance and Thursday a chance the farther North you go. We have not had anything since May 14th so past 3 weeks now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 i'm amazed at all the people who had not heard about the smoke from Canada and called 911 to report odor of smoke in their area. I slept with my windows open, not sure why everyone is complaining of the smell of smoke Yesterdays rain was brief. Enough to leave puddles in the parking lot, but doubt it did much. do we take a shot at 90 on Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Interesting drought related effect that also happened in 2020. A gas glut is building with school busses off the road and yard maintenance effectively shut down. They cannot plow or mow anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I grew up and got into Met, I realized that some of that was um...not so accurate. Today's cell came right down the Susky. My son lives in Mount Joy and they got next to nothing, Maytown was JUST inside the "win zone" today. This reminds me of an ex's father who used to always say "Chickies will break that up" about every storm that ever approached, as if Chickie hill is some massive mountain that looms over everything and disrupts all storm patterns haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings up an interesting nugget I noticed the other day. Lancaster actual has a 1000 foot elevation spot in the county.... Texter Mountain Rd. Of the 67 counties, it ranks as the 62nd lowest high point, and is also the lowest high point for a fully in the LSV county, but was still surprised to see one in Lanco over 1000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the 'ol Peakbagger website were ya? That's one of my faves. Glad to see you studying those Lancaster County relief maps. We also have some higher terrain across the eastern part of the county near Welsh Mountain, much of the southern hills in Solanco school district, and the infamous Chickies Ridge near me and @Itstrainingtime But as you mentioned, the highest point is up in the Furnace Hills near where Lancaster, Berks, and Lebanon Counties all meet. If you knew how much time I've spent looking at terrain maps over the years you'd have me committed haha.

Bubbler86 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 If you take this map as the LSV, I know there are a lot of variations, the highest point in each county in order is: Franklin-Tuscarora Mountain 2459 Cumberland-Blue Mountain 2270 Perry-Blue Mountain 2270 Adams-East Big Flat Ridge 2070 Dauphin-Big Lick Mountain 1771 Berks-Blue Mountain 1680 Lebanon-Stony Mountain 1651 York-Stone Head North 1412 Lancaster-Texter Rd 1180 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that there is technically a 1183 foot spot in Lanco on good ole Ken Brown's property...where someone stacked a bunch of rocks at some point in the past. The 1180 figure is public highest spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take a wood ladder worth $5 in Cumberland County, call it an antique and sell it for $100 at Rennigers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Some spots like here in East Nantmeal did pick up a brief shower - we picked up 0.03" we take!! The smoke continues to be a problem across the area...we may see a brief clearing of smoke this morning before another plume builds across the county by later today. Temperatures should remain below normal for the rest of the work week. Before a brief warmup to above normal by Sunday. Shower chances increase by Friday night and again on Sunday night. Of interest, while I did record 1 day last summer that rounded to 90 degrees (89.7 on July 23rd) I have not recorded a day that exceeded 90 degrees in almost 2 years!! The last time being June 30, 2021 when we hit 91.2 degrees here in East Nantmeal Township. I think it is likely we see no 90 degree days here in Chester County for the rest of June. Records for today: 97 (1899) / Low 42 (1949) / Rain 2.94" (2013) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
