Just got home. Looks like about an inch in my Tamaqua backyard.

Winner winner chicken dinner... Hell of a good storm for you up there!

My loading location at the base of the Blue Mountain on the Schuylkill County side off of PA309. Looks like about an inch on non paved surfaces.

I'm down in Allentown delivering water, but my backyard Tamaqua temp is 32.9 so any colder and the roads are going to start to get covered.

Snowing good south of Tamaqua. Roads are wet, but Penn Dot is salting. Grass, trees, and cars are coated, though.

So 1,000ft seems to be somewhat key at the moment. At 825ft at my house, a 50-50 rain/snow mix. On a 1,025ft ridge, nearly all snow. At work, which is 620ft, about 75-25 rain/snow. Nowhere, though, was there any accumulation yet.

Also, per radar, the significant precipitation stayed north and east of my location as well.

No snow in the Tamaqua backyard as of 1:45am. I guess 800ft is to low. Seeing just a couple flakes mixed in with the rain looking at the streetlight.

Just rain here in Tamaqua. Temp 36 degrees.

Ah, I see. I've been working 12 hour days all week and had errands after work, so I've not looked at a model. I've been living through you guys for my weather info.

My confidence level on the current storm is diminishing. All the good radar returns are north and east. Unless it pivots southwest, I don't see my area getting much.

I get up at 1:30am daily to start my shift at 3am. I guess I'll get to see prime time without taking any special measures.

Back to weather. What a strange radar presentation currently. When does what's hitting the Poconos get pulled back west, or does other areas fill in with what's moving east?

Already went through there. Now it's homeward bound.

Sitting in the sun in Sunbury, but there's rain to my east and mixed rain and snow to my west.

Today's my last day on it. The guys who took it over when I went to AZ are on vacation. I was filling in for them.

And just like that, it's over, for now... But just like this radar image shows, I did see a few wet snowflakes coming down I-81 by the Hegins exit as the precip ended.

Which day? This Friday or next?

Here's Tamaqua... Thursday Night Snow, possibly mixed with rain, becoming all snow after 1am. Low around 32. West wind 8 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Friday Rain, possibly mixed with snow. High near 39. West wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. Friday Night A chance of rain and snow before 7pm, then a chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 32. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Can't use 10:1 in this setup, though. Kuchera maps would be closer to verifying, if it plays out as depicted. No one's going to see 10:1 ratios, especially the lower elevations.

Maybe...

Ah, 309. I go over the Blue on 309 six to eight times per shift running my spring water loads. It's going to be a fun morning if it happens.

Bad posting in the politics OT forum. Not sure though if he was suspended, banned, or just quit.

Umm... Thursday Night Rain likely before 10pm, then rain and snow likely between 10pm and 4am, then a chance of snow after 4am. Cloudy, with a low around 31. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
