    This thread is getting difficult to read at the moment with the BS interspersed with the storm posts and analysis...

    So do I, but in reality, I should have sent this one back 8 years ago after I bought it. The anemometer has never worked right. There is no way, with the window rattling, house shaking wind I had yesterday, that the highest gust was only 16 mph. Even back during Sandy, I couldn't get a gust higher than 24 mph.

    Can't believe we're going down the "my snow is bigger than your snow" stuff tonight. Sheesh.

    This is exactly what I used to go through a few years ago. There would always be a significant dip to the south right over eastern Schuylkill County in the contours where points to both my west and east would be modeled to get like 3-6 inches more than I would.

    lol!!! Not long after I posted it, the winds picked up. It was almost like a gust front the way it hit. All was quiet, then the back bedroom (where my office is) started creaking, and the all the neighborhood wind chimes (I hate those things) started clanging.
  7. Voyager
    Still kind of calm here on the eastern side. 45 with a 5-10 mph wind.

    I'm not wishing it away. I actually want this one, which is why it's upsetting to see the numbers go down. Earlier, I was told that those 10:1 maps that include sleet were wrong, and I should be looking at positive snowfall change, which is what I did. Pivotal's maps are much lower than what that TT map is showing.
  9. Voyager
    And as I expected. The 0z NAM has whittled it down to a barely plowable 2 inch event.
  10. Voyager
    Thanks MIke! Just think how much accumulation we'd have every winter if sleet really was a 10:1 ratio...lol
  11. Voyager
    I've never heard much good about it. I'll take 3-6 and run I suppose. Was hoping for more (imagine that...lol) but it's better than the usual 1-2 inch slop fests we've been getting.
  12. Voyager
    Has the UKIE ever gotten one right??? lol
  13. Voyager
    Thanks! I guess I still have a lot to learn about this hobby. As for the VD07 storm, we were pretty much the same here as you were there, except for, perhaps, the mid 40's temp spike for an hour before the crash which is what caused the freeway mess down here. Absolutely.
  14. Voyager
    Yes it was. My bad I guess, but I wonder if we get much sleet or if it goes over to zr. Some in the Mid-Atlantic thread are growing more concerned about an ice storm.
  15. Voyager
    I saw that and I'll be honest when I say that I didn't even know those kinds of winds were being progged for tomorrow.
  16. Voyager
    Did anyone else notice a huge difference between the 10:1 snowfall map at 84 hours between Pivotal Weather and Tropical Tidbits with the 12z NAM? Pivotal is showing next to nothing up the Susquehanna and about 4 inches in my backyard while TT is showing 6-8 regionwide...
  17. Voyager
    As much as I want to get back to work, I hate driving in winter weather, so I was "hoping" for the 8-10 that was being depicted earlier. My group probably would have postponed, but I doubt they will for a 2-4 inch garden variety snowfall...
  18. Voyager
    It's been an extremely boring day/week/month. I haven't worked since 12/19 due to the charter bus business being highly seasonal (which I never knew until I got in), and the whole company being closed from 12/23 to 1/6. It's very frustrating not working, and I'm really wishing I'd have stayed in trucking. Sorry for being a bit "ornery" today...
  19. Voyager
    Wow...I can't believe how dead it got in here. 12z GFS and Euro are out, and there's no discussion. I imagine it's because the Euro was a big fat kick in the nuts. Still holding on to about 4 inches here (a far cry from earlier depictions), but what it did to the Lower Susquehanna region is unreal...
  20. Voyager
    I don't think it'll be a non-event, but what was being depicted over the weekend sure looks like it's off the table (for now anyway). In 2 days I went from a 6-10 on the clown maps to 3-6. The Euro was the most drastic though, showing 8" on today's 0z to just 4" on the 12z. And I hope you don't think that I was/am being "snarky", because I wasn't trying to be. It's just that I, and most of the rest of us as well, have seen this play out before.
  21. Voyager
    @mattinpa, what confused you about this post? The GFS is slowly cutting totals, and the 12z Euro today drastically cut them. We see it all the time. Juiced up system a week out, and then the qpf and/or snow totals get whittled down. Likely due to more ip/zr vs snow as the qpf on this one hasn't changed much. I suppose there's a reason why they are called fantasy maps, but still...
  22. Voyager
    Can't say I'm not surprised. They all start out impressive, and then when it's "go time" they end up being a 1-3 or 2-4 inch slopfest...
  23. Voyager
    And almost always is a fast mover. Once Allentown flips, we here in Tamaqua flip about a half hour later...
  24. Voyager
    I may not always be the happiest person when I see that you posted, because it usually means some sort of wintry weather is on the way... , but you, sir, are a treasure to this sub-forum with your knowledge and willingness to share it. I think I speak for all when I say, thanks Mike, we are glad you are here!
  25. Voyager
    And they brought the hideous "Rubik's Cube" graphic out as well, which is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen...
