Are you kidding me? Look at the moisture feed coming up from all the way down in Houston. Not to mention the fact that it's snowing all the way back out west to Missouri.
Every one of the them but the NAM seem to be holding at 15-17 inches here, but...the caveat is that I'm probably farther northeast from any potential mixing. Not saying it can't, or won't, happen, but I suppose it's less likely here.
Looking at the historical graph from my weather station, temp held steady at 11 degrees until 3:05am when it started a decline to the current 8.1 degrees. I figure that's probably when it started here in my backyard.
This.
Many times, big snows come at the end of a cold pattern, and half (or more) is lost to the warmer regime that follows behind after a couple days.
Unfortunately I have to hand bomb whatever falls. I don't have a snowblower, as I only have basement storage, and I'm not bulling that thing up a flight of steps to get it outside.
It's funny you posted this. Yesterday at work, all day it felt like the last day of work before the Christmas off days. I was actually going to post it in my central PA thread, but didn't.
It's interesting that even I have no work scheduled for Monday. Usually with winter storms we still have work orders, and if we can,or choose to run, we can.
Thanks! Some of those 2010 storms skunked the Skook if I remember right. As for the blowing and drifting, any place that doesn't taint is going to have problems into Tuesday, I think.
Help me out. I'm trying to figure out when we last had a major storm with temps as "wall to wall" cold as this one's going to be. I'm thinking either 93 or 96.
Most of the ones lately have been in the 20s to low 30s and as such most plowed roads melted off rather quickly. This one's not going to be so easy for the road crews nor the motoring public.
Some of the roads we use on our routes are going to be problematic if that occurs. PA895 west of New Ringgold has a deep cut and will probably blow shut if Pendot doesn't stay on top of things. The road to our one well (the "well in the woods" that I show in my videos) traverses an open field that is township maintained and will probably blow shut as well. It may not be until Wednesday that we won't have major problems to deal with.
You know. I think we all need to slow down on posting here (and in other forums as well) because every storm thread is listed as "HOT". No wonder there's going to be mixing issues. We're heating things up and messing with the thermal profiles...
