    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.

    Unofficially (measured on a shoveled sidewalk) I have 3 inches already!

    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.

    Just started snowing lightly here. We'll see, I guess, where we end up later this afternoon.

    Thanks Don. I might be off, though. The boss/owner would rather we and the trucks be safe than to risk a crash.
  7. Voyager
    Yes. Far eastern Schuylkill County.

    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...
  9. Voyager
    Most are closed up here already.

    @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.
  11. Voyager
    Not sure where it came from, but CTP bumped my point and click forecast total from 3-5 to 4-8 for tomorrow.
  12. Voyager
    Yes, I know what it's called, but we could get a sunny day break once in awhile...
  13. Voyager
    Here's the video version of that...lol

    What gives with this snow? I woke this morning to light snow/flurries, and they've continued now for about 3 hours.
  15. Voyager
    That would be me...

    Where I work, in the owner's mind, drivers and equipment are worth more than a load of water. Add in the lawsuits if you happen to spin out, or in our case, jacknife, and it just isn't worth it to be out.
  17. Voyager
    Where is this round two coming from? Radar looks like crap right now...
  18. Voyager
    Well, at least I'm off work tonight. I called the boss and he said stay home. Day shift drivers all quit early and parked, and he saw no reason to mess around and have issues later with night shift. While I could use the money, I'd rather be safe and not get injured or damage a truck. So far, we got 1 to 2 inches. I didn't bother to measure this one. It had stopped for about 2 hours, but has picked up again. Mostly snow with a few pellets mixed in.

    I just woke up after a long day/night yesterday and am kind of "out of it". What can I expect up here in Schuylkill? At first glance, while it's snowing, albeit with small flakes) it just looks like it'll probably just shut off up this way by noon or 1pm. I was really thinking I might get a "snow day", but if it stops by the time my shift starts, I'll definitely be expected to srive tonight.
  20. Voyager
    Nothing but virga here.
  21. Voyager
    Yes, we should, but where would be a good "central" location. Harrisburg metro I guess?
  22. Voyager
    Personally, I like the Pivotal Weather snow maps. You can go 10:1 or Kuchera, and they also include (fwiw anyway) ice maps. I find Pivotal's snow maps to be much closer to reality than TT's.
  23. Voyager
    I do believe we went up a degree or two after I posted this last night. It's general Tamaqua climatology in this kind of situation. The ice accrual we had when I went to bed last night was (and still is) negligible this morning. The tree tops on the highest hills surrounding the town appear to have some ice on them, but nothing here on the "valley" floor.
  24. Voyager
    As soon as the heavier rain came in we shot up to 32. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if we don't go up one or two more. I'm kind of doubting the whole half inch ice possibility that CTP had for my area.
  25. Voyager
    Too late. Stuck on the ramp to I-81 north. I was going to Tomhicken for another load, but a multi vehicle wreck shut down the freeway...
