  1. Reading all of the posts about the off topic side of the board was quite entertaining, and what you all have said is pretty much spot on. They are some of the most vile examples of human beings I've ever observed, and yet, somehow, they see themselves as saviors of the world. And one person in particular who is the most vile one of all, who, after dishing out so much hatred and disdain of anyone who disagrees with her, loves to play the victim (insert racist, sexist) card whenever someone gives back what is dished out. It's an incredible thing to watch sometimes...
  2. See fellas, I like when my truck is nice and clean. I spent two hours yesterday washing it.
  3. The storm here was/is more of a rainer here than anything else. Not much wind, no hail, and rumbles of thunder and one close in strike. A good storm, but not severe in my backyard. Rainfall of 0.56" but tapering off some, now. Was over 2" per hour rate at one point, though.
  4. Alright. Voyager out. I just can't do this anymore...
  5. I wouldn't say awesome but it sure is stinking... April snow...blech.
  6. Not sure whether to or be That little bit of rain we had today made a royal mess of my big truck because of all the leftover salt residue on the roads. I'm so sick of washing it every other day. I just want the salt gone for good.
  7. I generally work 6a to 6p, so it doesn't really matter after work, but for me (driving tanker truck and hauling spring water) the earlier the sunrise, and an earlier rise in temperatures is better.
  8. Really? Most of us work and are up by 4, 5, or 6. I don't want 8:30am sunrises. F that....
  9. High today was 69.8 in my backyard, so technically 70. As for the DST argument. I don't much care for the time change, but I wish they would just leave it standard time. I lived with all year standard time in Arizona, and it was no big deal. Having DST year 'round, as was mentioned above, means it will be dark in the morning until 8am for about a month straight during part of December and January, which sucks, in my opinion.
  10. I'm not trying to deny you of winter, but I'd rather it be from November to February as opposed to January to April, which is how it seems lately.
  11. Geez...I want to start cleaning up and getting my yard ready for spring, not to mention getting the salt off the undercarriage of my new Jeep. Enough already...
  12. 54 and sunshine was enough here to melt everything except where the snow drifted in the farm fields. Everything else looks like it did on Friday prior to the event.
  13. 20 at my house right now. 21 in Tower City. Here's to getting up to 50 this afternoon!
  14. Ok, so here is the official Schuylkill County (Skook) measurement for yesterday's snowfall. It was half a bottle of Boilo deep...
  15. Winding down here now. There's no way to get an accurate measurement. I think the wind leveled me off at two inches due to grass height. I'd venture to guess, by eyeball, that we got 3-6 inches.
  16. Looks to almost be winding down here already. Sunny is poking through clouds and it's barely snowing.
  17. I don't really understand the science behind this, but my station currently is reporting 181.3 watts/m².
  18. I like the graphics that Wunderground provides for personal weather stations. This grab shows when the "shit hit the fan" so to speak which was at 6:04 am here in my backyard.
  19. I'm not going to attempt to measure as I have a small property, and the wind I'm sure wouldn't give me an accurate measurement. Eyeballing, though, I'd say a good 2 to 3 inches here. Snow intensity peaks and wanes, but has been at least moderate the whole time. My backyard wind gust so far is 17.2 mph, so likely in a more open location, winds are probably gusting 25 to 30 mph.
