    Good. Hope it rinses the salt off the roads...

    Small world. Before I became a truck driver, I worked on a golf course at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem. I was considering going to Penn State for agronomy courses/ a degree to advance, but the trucking bug bit, and here I am...

    Snowing big fatties in Tamaqua. Roads are starting to cave, especially shady areas. Skipped my last load of the night as I didn't want to get stuck on the Blue Mountain coming back with an empty trailer.
  4. Voyager
    Yeah, I looked back. I believe it might have been January 15/16, but there was one rainer in there.

    Over the Blue Mountain and just slightly out of the Mt Holly CWA, for us, it might have been the 12/24 storm. Not sure, but January seemed plenty dry.

    I washed it last night, so no more snow, please...

    I do know they're not directed at me, you guys love snow and want as much as possible. Truth is, while I do prefer warmth to cold, but I also enjoy tracking the storm threats. If they come when I'm off work, I don't mind them so much. As for the snow itself. My preference is to have a big storm (12"+) once a month from Nov/Dec to Feb/Mar, and then melt off in between the events.

    As I do you as well...and the others too. I can't think of a better group to talk weather with than all of you. I may not always like what's being depicted or forecasted, but I do know what to (kind of) expect (model mayhem). In my line of work, that's important.

    I try to be...

    Once I get a permanent truck I should be able to. I've been bouncing around a bit right now

    It sure does! I'm actually at Lancaster Tank Wash for a sanitation right now, and I'm surprised at how little snow is left on the ground here. Lots of pure bare areas around, not just the south facing slopes. Nice sunset tonight. Can't see most of it, though...

    51 beautiful degrees here in Voyagerland!
  13. Voyager
    One of my favorites. Steam, snow and bitter cold temperatures make for an impressive show...

    Up here I measured 11" in the backyard yesterday, so today's 5+ took us back up to a 16" snowpack.
  15. Voyager
    Just measured. The snow has stopped. No taint at all, pure snow and 5.25 inches. Roads (the hills) are shut down all around Tamaqua because of stuck tractor-trailers. 309, 54, 209, 443. Anywhere there's a hill, someone is stuck.

    No offense guys, but I need it. My surgical shoulder is still sore. I can work without causing damage, but just trying to layer up for my job is painful. I usually go thermal shirt, t-shirt, sweatshirt. Then a coat when I'm loading or unloading the tanker. Putting all that on and off is quite a workout. It'll be nice if even for a couple of days I can shed some of the layers and be a bit more comfortable.
  17. Voyager
    Unofficially (measured on a shoveled sidewalk) I have 3 inches already!
  18. Voyager
    All the models in the 12z suite look to give a solid 6-8 here in Voyagerland...

    Future radar for my location has it snowing here until about 4pm. Then the usual drying out that rides up the I-81 corridor commences. Which begs a question from me. What causes that feature to take place so often? We many times dry out before other areas of central, eastern, and northeastern PA. It'll mostly be finished here but out to the west of the Susquehanna, snow will continue for a couple to a few hours.
  20. Voyager
    Just started snowing lightly here. We'll see, I guess, where we end up later this afternoon.
  21. Voyager
    Thanks Don. I might be off, though. The boss/owner would rather we and the trucks be safe than to risk a crash.
  22. Voyager
    Yes. Far eastern Schuylkill County.
  23. Voyager
    Don, my point and click forecast for Tamaqua (just a few miles beyond Mt Holly's CWA) is for 4-8 inches. We shall see...
  24. Voyager
    Most are closed up here already.
  25. Voyager
    @Blizzard of 93 I saw that my forecast and the advisory wording don't quite match up. That's why I was wondering where the sudden increase came from. All day long, my point and click matched the advisory at 3-5.
