    But back to reality on Monday...lol
  2. Voyager
    Closest I've ever come to a 100" winter was this one. Another one of these would make most in this sub-forum quite happy...
  3. Voyager
    I can always tell when the models aren't showing anything good. The forum goes silent...

    Yup. Got blown all over the place coming down 81 today. Now sitting at 7th and Division Sts in the 'burg until 4:00pm...
  5. Voyager
    And I'm of course in Mount Pocono today, so it's snowing again here...
  6. Voyager
    That's all that matters to me...
  7. Voyager
    Man, that would be a perfect scenario for me.

    Here in Tamaqua as well. Nothing (melted half inch) in town, but tree coated whiteness on the hilltops.
  9. Voyager
    The coating we had earlier this morning from yesterday's sleet and freezing rain and this morning's brief light snow episode is melted. We haven't had anything but flurries here, and the current temp is 36.

    If there wasn't the ban, it looks like I could have went in for them. Even over there in NJ on I-80 it's mostly wet. But...one never knows exactly how it'll play out, and if it would have gotten bad, and something happened, we'd be on the hook for it with the "well you shouldn't have been there in the first place". So I guess better safe than sorry...

    I suppose they have to find motel rooms either in the city or NWNJ and get picked up tomorrow. I'm sure it does suck, but if there is a commercial ban, we can't legally go in or over to get them. I risk points on my license and a personal fine, and the company risks a fine as well as getting shut down in place until the ban is lifted.

    So is Central/East PA the screw zone for today? Quite the hole in the precipitation over here. Side note, New Jersey issued a full commercial vehicle ban so I'm back home and don't have to go to NYC today.
  13. Voyager
    For those whom are interested. I just walked in my front door. Started today at 5:15am. Now I get to go right to bed so I can leave at 7:00am to go to NYC. No sympathy from the boss, either. If there's no ban, I'll likely have to go. Gotta love it. Get home and run right to bed (without supper) so I can be rested enough (barely) to safely run tomorrow...FML...

    Currently sitting in the parking lot at MetLife Stadium, but have to get back to Dickson City, Wilkes-Barre, and then Hazleton before going home. Then tomorrow I'm supposed to leave out at 7:15am for 10:15am at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal to pick up returning passengers.

    Taking a big bus into Pier 88 Monday for a 10:15am pick-up. Not looking forward to it at all. Especially the ride across I-80 in NJ afterward. It's going to be fun...not.
  16. Voyager
    Well, our snowfall total was already cut back. On the maps last night, Pottsville was listed at 4-6 inches, and now it's 2-3. I started to embrace the snowfall, hoping that PA would institute a commercial vehicle ban for Monday, but if they keep cutting back, it'll just be a slick nuisance variety mess, and I'll have to run. I really need to move away from this area...
  17. Voyager
    Thanks! That's actually a pretty good graphic. Much better than their Rubik's Cube one...lol
  18. Voyager
    I really hope your right. Monday I go to NYC, but I've got a bit more wiggle room on that one if it's bad.
  19. Voyager
    I'm worried because my itinerary is to pick up in Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, and Dickson City, and then go right through the heart of the Poconos on I-380 to I-80 to the Water Gap and into New Jersey.
  20. Voyager
    Wanna drive my Prevost tour bus to MetLife Stadium for me on Sunday? Gotta roll around 5:30 am, go up to Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, then come down through the Poconos on 380 to 80 and be there in time for them to tailgate... Not looking forward to it at all.
  21. Voyager
    Worst part of all this, for me, is that we have a high end client going to an NFL game and I got assigned the run. There's no opportunity for me to say it's "too icy" or the roads are "too bad" and "I'm not running". We'll lose the customer, and I'll get fired.
  22. Voyager
    Hopefully road, street, and sidewalk temps are 33 or above or there is nothing nice about that. I have to pick up in Wilkes-Barre @ 6:30am to go to the game. Unlike other charters which can be postponed if the roads are bad, this cannot since it's an NFL game and they will be tailgating... And before anyone says anything...yes, I should move to Florida or back to Arizona, but the ONLY way that happens is via divorce.
  23. Voyager
    Im really not liking this one as I just picked up Sunday work now as well. Taking a group to MetLife Stadium for the Packers/Giants game. No snow/ice please...
  24. Voyager
    Me neither, but to the "Average Joe", I suppose it works.
  25. Voyager
    Rubik's Cube forecasting model. I like it...lol
