Hope it never happens again! As far as schools, no delays today. I hope that they get everyone in before it starts. Schools are so desperate to get days in now I think they're starting to take chances and "get lucky" that "it's not that bad". Looks like cold air is entrenched for a while this morning. Still 15 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Warming up fairly quickly down in SEPA, went from 26F low to 32F currently. Rain looks to get here around 9 or a little later. Might be freezing still up north...and the ground is pretty cold also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Heads up to everyone in the WWA area - looking at central PA forum, roads are pretty nasty out there and it's on our doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm glad the rain held off here...looks like it won't start until about 9 AM. Most people will already be at school / work by 9 AM...plus it has given temps a chance to rise to near or just above freezing (it was 20 degrees in Spring Mount at 7 AM, so that would have caused lots of icy roads/sidewalks if rain had arrived then).

Chief83 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Worcester, PA 31 degrees (down a little in the last hour) rain - probably freezing on some trees, but pavements are just wet. I have to wonder how much weight is being added to the snow load on the roofs of some buildings. There have been several building / roof collapses in the past few days. Have not heard of any today, but could be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Terrible freezing rain while driving to school just north of Allentown. There are accidents everywhere and traffic is awful. I almost crashed a few times. And it's still not above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
