Voyager

Thanks. I wonder if Tower City got the same. That half inch may be enough to drift across the access road to my truck loading area.

Did you get any snow today?

So if nearly all the short range models are showing less that one inch, where is CTP getting a 1-3 range for my location? How much we get and when it stops will determine where I run tomorrow.

So it looks like 1-3 for me. Just in time to mess up the morning commute. Looks like another late start for me again tomorrow morning.

In the right pattern there'd be one or two per week...

I have to wear 4 shirts, jeans, long john's, and a hoodie when it's this cold because I have to be outside during the loading and unloading. Layering up like that every day gets old after awile.

Hopefully that's the pattern breaker storm. I need a week or two of 50's. I'm sick of layering up with a half a load of laundry every day...

I beg to differ...

I don't need this. I was told by the guy that plows where I load that if we keep getting snow, chains will be required to get in, and especially, out of the loading location. The boss isn't keen on the idea, and with two bum shoulders, I couldn't throw truck iron even if I was willing to. So, I don't know what the future of this particular run is going to hold going forward if we stay cold and snowy...

You can have all of mine...lol

Thanks! Nope, and I'll enjoy playing in the snow, just not the first night...lol

I need no snow Friday night. I pick this up, and don't really want it's maiden voyage to be in a snowstorm. That's for later after I put some dry miles on it...

Out and about on a snowy Monday...

So I am in a temperature holding pattern at the moment. It's been stuck on 35.1 for awhile now. I had 3.5" of snow before it mixed and switched to sleet. I'd say about another inch of the mix fell after that (rain compaction likely, though) for a total that I'm calling at my house of 4.5 inches. It's not official by any means, but it's in the ballpark. So far, I'm still at home. Only one driver went in so far, and he said that if no others show up, he's going home. He said roads in my area had heavy slush on them and were rutted. One would think that the plows and the salt with a fairly high temperature would do them well, unless there's not a lot of plows out due to the holiday and schools being off. Anyway, I'm taking a "wait a bit" approach as to whether I go in.

Wow! I was wondering if thunder would be a component of this storm.

And here comes the sleet. Just hit the sack and now I hear the first pings on the awnings.

If Accuweather's future radar is to be believed, I'm going to see some HEAVY sleet here once it flips. There's a lot of yellow and orange colors in the radar presentation aimed right at eastern PA.

Up to 3.5" now (9:55pm)

Been there, done that. Can't remember the storm as I've had my share of busts over the years, but there was one one where I had a winter storm warning for 12-18 inches when I woke up the day of the storm only to end up with 2-3 inches while Allentown (35 miles southeast) cashed in with 15 inches.

You should have skipped the blanket and used one of these...

Make sure you fan it to the south and not the east...lol

Just measured. 2.75" already with heavy snow falling and winds starting to pick up.

The banner says MLK Day, so I'm assuming today. I do believe they're going to bust badly. It looks like they have the Selinsgrove/Sunbury area in the 12-24 range and that just isn't going to happen.

We don't have the wind yet, but it's coming down borderline moderate to heavy now.

How is it that you're consistently 5 degrees colder than me? I'm up to 23.7 now.
