Sitting at .95" here in Tamaqua. Not sure if I can pick up the .06" needed to break the 1.00" mark. We shall see.

Welcome to Pennsylvania where the roads cave even when it's not snowing...
-
A half inch in the tipper so far this morning. Looks like a bit of a dry slot heading toward me per future radar, though. I just hope it stays overcast all day after the rain ends. As much as I love bright, sunny days, I like my Thanksgiving, and especially Christmas days, to be grey and cold looking. It adds to the "ambiance".

Well, if true, I'll have a few extra days off in the next few weeks if they hit Mon-Fri. The 8,000 gallon tank I pull needs a permit because the truck weighs 100,000lbs. The permit specifically states the roads must be clear of snow or ice from shoulder to shoulder to run. Not sure if I should pray for snow or not...

Mixed snow and rain now in my forecast for Turkey day morning.
-
.36" in the bucket. Looks like it's finished though.
-
I wish... Thanksgiving Day Partly sunny, with a high near 74. Northeast wind around 5 mph becoming calm.
-
Ended up with an event total of 1.76" of which, one inch fell as snow, at least what had accumulated. It may have been more before and after.
-
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.
