Did you see Houston with a low of 12 after getting snow and sleet?

Up my way, not really even any 50's.

OMG...

Between work and all this snow, my surgical shoulder isn't going to make it... It hurts like hell already.

That's some pretty impressive cold for that far south. Those reds are low teens all the way down into old Mexico. Crazy! As for me, just got home from work. Decided not to do my last load, which was a good call. The guy that loaded ahead of me made the right onto 309 to go up the Blue Mountain and lost traction and got stuck. That would have been my fate as well, had I loaded and tried to go deliver it. After helping him blindside back onto the road he came out of, we both went back to the yard and called it a night. 309 was completely snowpacked. Just went out and we have 1.5" so far.

Light snow has commenced on my water route...

Waiting to load my truck. Nothing here yet at the base of the Blue Mtn on 309 but virga, but I see we're now in an advisory for 3-5 inches. Pretty good bump up from the 1-2 inches CTP was saying this morning.

And I just went out and measured 14" in the backyard still. Would have been 10", but yesterday...

I didn't push it down there. Now that I'm working again, I want to keep it right here. Nontheless, for quite a few years it did seem like the models wanted to "cheat" the coal region out of snow, and sometimes they were right...lol

I don't think anyone in our subforum has moderator power, so I guess the best that can be done is to report it.

Working so no measuring, but snowing good in Breinigsville. This was about an hour ago, but rates are the same...

I get the idea of snow, but why would anyone want cold air like that?

That's kind of what I was hoping for...

Gotcha. Looks like you have to pay for it.

What is the Boron model?

No. There has been a change of plans and I will stay local. I do start the new job...yup...on Sunday, so this is why the snow is coming...lol. Basically, after the flight cancelled, I had 3 more big bills to pay this week and it scared me enough to re-think the road. I'd have run out of money before I'd have gotten home, especially since a lot of truckstops are pay to park now at $15 to $20 per night. Add to that the fact that I couldn't even take all of my warm bedding and winter gear without adding $90 to the baggage fee, and I was kind of backed up to a wall. I'm happy though. I do prefer being home daily, but most companies insurances weren't allowing me to come on board because of the bus driving. My water hauling former employer could and did.

Not for me...

The murdered couple had a security camera on their roof which caught the whole incident, complete with sound. I saw it posted on Facebook and watched it. I won't share it here, but it was a verbal fight (of unknown reason) that escalated quickly out of control.

If you look at the radar loops, there was a band of heavier snow that rolled through here just as I was getting out of bed. It was almost as heavy as what we had Monday afternoon, but it only lasted about a half hour.

Got an inch and a half up here in coal crackerville...

That Kuchera map borders on the ridiculous. I live on a narrow side street, that is last (if ever) fully cleaned curb to curb by the borough. that much snow on top of what we have now, and there will be fights over who puts the snow where. Just this past one I got yelled at by two neighbors for putting it on the banking that the plows had already made on the other side of our street. I don't live in the country where there are acres to throw it on. I live in an "inner city" environment.

I heard a few shouting matches yesterday in my neighborhood while I was out shoveling. It's usually a case of, "hey don't be piling that snow there"...to be followed by, "well where the f*** do you want me to put it?" Then it just escalates.

Thanks, and hopefully your trip works out!

I just went through the whole flying thing. I was supposed to fly to Houston for job orientation, but the Chicago snow cancelled all flights into my O'Hare connection. Then the snow here finished it off. I'm hoping to go this weekend, but haven't yet heard from the employer.

Agreed. I don't need a polar vortex with 15 degree highs and -5 lows. Seasonal is just fine with me...
