56% humidity

Perfect.

Currently 79° and 12% here in the SFV. Pool will probably be open in two weeks.

Late March/early April is interesting in PA. The high temp today was about 49 degrees with a chilly NW wind. But sitting on our deck on the south-facing side of our house, the wind was pretty much nil and the sun made it feel like it was a balmy 70-75 degrees outside.

We're currently on the tail end of the 4-6 week period that happens every spring and autumn where it's completely normal to have like 45-degree temperature swings between the overnight low and mid-day high.

Nice sunny day today. Have the windows open to keep the kitchen cool. Perennials are starting to poke out. All is good.

Temp just dropped about 20F here in Beallsville. About to get trucked by a thunderstorm. Love it.

82°, 23%

The summer Southern rotation of thunderstorms followed by 500% humidity has started earlier than usual this year.

Yeah... And I can't wait to get the hell out of it. I still don't know how you do it Freddie. It's unbearable.

You get used to it.

I don't really mind it. The temporary 20 degree drop in temps 15 minutes prior to the storm makes it worthwhile.

I'm trying to get back into shape and since I was a distance runner for over 40 years, that's my preferred method. If I don't get out the door by 7am, forget it until that 1/2 hour window right before the sun goes down.

@shmenguin @blackjack68 looks like you guys just got pummeled by that line of storms. Bow echo came right over you guys. We got hit hard here too

EPP must really by busy at that new job.

I just missed the worst of the storms but got rain and some wind.

Tornado warning. We camped in the basement. Nothing came of it.

80-foot tree down in my front yard. 1 block over tree on house. Cars flipped at mall about 10 miles away. Local rail service into and out of Philly lost power. We are dark now and told 4:30am at the earliest and possibly as late as 4pm Thursday.

Yay me!

Yeah blackjack, not surprising at all. When that line crossed the Delaware, your area (which I presume to be somewhere in Cherry Hill?) was right in the line of the sharpest point of the bow echo. Hopefully your tree didn't hit anything, which I'm presuming it didn't. Good luck getting power back...

Sorry BJ....that sucks.

Yes, Cherry Hill.

Luckily, tree fell in the one spot in 360 degrees where it didn't hit houses, cars or land in the street. Did rip the power lines off of my house and neighbor's house, but could've been much worse. Already told work I would be off tomorrow and likely chainsawing most of the day.

friend of mine lives off of chapel in cherry hill. same deal. haddon township appears unscathed for the most part. i'm owed some karma points for being one of just 30 houses that lost power in this town during Sandy. and i lost it for 5 or 6 days.

Verizon cell tower also ended going out after my last post. Just got it back an hour or so ago. No cell or landline. What a mess.

Yeah, work was interesting this morning. Some people talking about all the chaos and others, like me, who didn't have the lights so much as flicker or see one iota of damage in my neighborhood in Philly...I got luckier than I thought I guess...hope everything works out blackjack...

Do wildfires get included in weather complaints?
