  1. I'm right on the edge of the precipitation shield. So far 0.14" in the gauge, but I'd be willing to bet once I got north of Hazleton the ground is dry as a bone...
  2. Since Hurricane Isaias it seemed as if most major events hit SEPA up to the Lehigh Valley. I wonder if that is going to be the predominant pattern through the winter.
  3. Fixed it for you...lol 40 and rain feels infinitely colder than 25 and snow most of the time.
  4. Ha...anything generally east of the Hudson is game on with that run. Just to let everyone know, I've been cleared for work, so let the job hunt begin.
  5. Yikes... At least I'm still off work. Even if I get cleared by the doc tomorrow, I won't be back in a truck that quickly.
  6. Got another squall overnight. Looks to be about a half inch on the cars and grass.
  7. Got a coating on cars, house roofs, and some stickage on the grass blades in the yard here. Anyone else east of the big river seeing any kind of accumulation?
  8. I may not like winter, but I still hate trampled snow. I want it to be pristine after it falls. So much so that I actually hate putting the dog out after a snowfall. OMG...I think I just admitted that I'm a closet snow weenie...
  9. Sorry, I couldn't resist laughing at your logic, but hey, I get it. When I did love snow, it wasn't a real snow unless the grass was completely covered. I still mow it low once we get later into the fall, but that's to keep the top growth down to minimize winter damage to the grass.
  10. How do you clear snow off of a Colorado steam tourist railroad in the Rocky Mountains? With steam of course...
  11. Thanks. It's been a rough bunch of months I tell ya. I can't wait to be able to earn a paycheck and feel like a valuable member of society again.
  12. You all should hope my surgeon clears me to go back to work when I see him again on 12/3. With my luck the way it is, almost every time I start a new job during the winter months, we get a snowstorm on my first day in the truck....
  13. Definitely the wintriest feeling day so far this season. Only got up to 34 today along with a "strong breeze".
  14. Same here. A heavy burst of rain with a little wind, but nothing spectacular.
  15. One year ago this morning while I was picking up a church group in Mountain Top...
  16. That would work. He could turn on the red, spinning lights and get me home quickly...lol
  17. NAPA Transportation out of Mechanicsburg is interested, but I'm going to look at some others as well. I don't have a good place to park a truck, so I'd like to find one with a terminal closer in if possible.
  18. Thanks for the reply. The only way I'd get a machine into my backyard is to go through the house...lol I live in a row with no pass through and no back alley/gate to wheel it in. Guess I need to look into something I can use manually and make myself, unless there's a manufacturer that makes one. The previous owner left us those "spike shoes" that strap on to your street shoes, but that was a lesson in futility.
  19. I'm surprised there's no wind advisories for CTP. PHL and northeast have them. We must be just under the threshold, but for me they have gusts to 45 mph tomorrow.
  20. I must be making up for those "Tamaqua Split" events the past few years...lol What are you using to aerify? A machine or a manual one, and if manual, did you make it yourself or buy one? I want to aerate my yard and sand dress it, but I'm landlocked so a big machine isn't an option.
  21. Riding with the wife to work this morning, and we have some mangled snowflakes mixed in with the rain. Temp down to 36 degrees...
  22. Good God... Glad it wasn't worse, and I wish you a speedy and full recovery.
