Just great. The 8th is my birthday and I was going to have a big picnic and pool party that day...

I just looked at the snowfall map. I'd say 3-4 here, maybe 5 as I'm right on the line of 3-4 and 4-6. We'll see, but I usually end up on the low side of any predicted range.

It also makes the snow harder to shovel. I'm cleared for work from my shoulder surgery as long as I don't overdo it, but (and a friend from VT weighed a shovel full of wet snow and got 34 lbs) it gets too heavy right now for me to safely clean up. Straight powder is ok, but a mix is not.

Oh please.... Anything but this. I'd rather smoke cirrus or have a 100% rainer than the whole gauntlet of wintry p-types. Ugh... Monday A chance of snow after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Monday Night Snow likely. Cloudy, with a low around 23. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Tuesday Snow likely before noon, then snow and freezing rain likely, possibly mixed with sleet. Cloudy, with a high near 31. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Tuesday Night A chance of sleet before 8pm, then a chance of snow between 8pm and midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 21. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

That was what I told my daughter and grandson earlier today. I don't see it being more than 6 inches. At least not widespread. Perhaps a lollipop or two.

CTP seems rather bullish for the coal region... Monday A chance of snow after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Monday Night Snow likely. Cloudy, with a low around 23. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Tuesday Snow likely, mainly before 1pm. Cloudy, with a high near 31. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

No.......... As of right now, it appears that will be the flight day for me to go to orientation for the new job. If it snows, the wife won't take me to the airport.

No need to apologize to me...

Too far away to see or hear it, but some of the squalls have some convection embedded in them...

Thanks, and I was going to post something about the job and the correlation to snow in CPA, but I figured you've all heard it before...lol

Madrid, Spain has Texas beat for this one.... Crazy snowfall in a place that rarely gets snow.

Still windy as hell outside...

I'm quite firmly in the cold people group, and each winter gets worse.

What???? OMG, and to think I go outside and freeze and shiver.

I could do without the excess wind, though...

We had about an inch of snow this morning, but mostly rain and some sleet in Tamaqua proper this afternoon/evening.

Well, I'm certainly not excited to see these long write-ups about the upcoming pattern. Especially since I'm looking to FINALLY get back to work (hopefully) from my Covid and shoulder surgery induced hiatus. In fact, it downright terrifies me to think I may come out of the house in a potentially dangerous and far from ideal pattern for a commercial truck driver. I wish I had the resources to sit out the whole of winter and wait for spring, but I can't...

Ugh...that would be a nightmare for me...

We had 2.59" of the liquid variety yesterday and overnight. No snow at all, though, which is ok by me. Those of you who know me quite well know that besides snow when I'm working, I hate when a storm gives all the roads and cars a powerwashing and cleans all the salt up, just for an inch at the tail end to put all the salt back on again. So I'm fine if we don't get any snow over this way. You guys in true central can have my share today... Oh, and Merry Christmas, everyone!

That squall line meant business when it blew through Schuylkill County. Most of our summer thunderstorms don't have rainfall that intense.

Four hours later...

This is what's left of my foot of snow from last week...

I was just going to ask, what's up with these huge dryslots lately? I though this was supposed to be a solid rainer prior to fropa...

My radar apps been showing a lot of red (heavy) returns down that way for awhile.

Looks like I-95 in MD from Baltimore to Philly got pounded. I'd love to see the rain totals from that corridor...
