  1. Super cool! Wish there was a way to share the actual feed. I want to put it on Facebook.
  2. Just got up (4:30am), so I don't know when it started, but eyeballing a half inch under moderate snow. Temp is a balmy 8 degrees here.
  3. 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.
  4. I love seeing this, but are the globals the way to go this close in?
  5. 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.
  6. Disheartening that even the GFS brings the mix into the Skook now. Earlier, it seemed only the NAM was doing that.
  7. That's one hell of a thump just north of the mix line.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. And for areas that don't see sleet, some blowing and drifting will be problems with wind gusts up to 25mph after the storm passes.
  13. 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.
  14. 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...
  15. Up to I-80 where? With 6 hour increments, I don't see mixing anywhere near I-80 except perhaps in New Jersey.
  16. Best I've ever seen personally was two hours worth of 5" per hour rates during the height of the February 1983 blizzard in Bethlehem.
  17. I know I got 17" total out of that one when I lived in Bethlehem. How much of it was sleet, I can't remember, but it was a decent amount. Nope. Anything under 20 is a bust as far as I'm concerned...
  18. Man, I hope it's not done that early. As of right now, we have no scheduled loads for Monday because of the snow. If it stops that early, if the roads are in any way passable, we'll be expected to go out. As I pointed out in a previous post, I'm a one man show when it comes to snow removal for two properties and three vehicles. I'll need most of Monday to clean this stuff up.
  19. Hopefully it's wrong. Don't need that extra weight in the pack. I'm a one man shoveling show since my wife is handicapped, my mother in-law is elderly, and my father in-law is passed. I have two properties to clear, and three cars.
