I can’t remember traffic this bad. It’s the most cars I’ve ever seen on the side of the road. It reminded me of Atlanta a few years ago and they got some snow.

The only thing that will get companies to begin closing up and/or making their staff work from home (assuming they can) when this **** happens is a ****load of people dying as a result of their obligation to show up.

heavy_wx Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Measured about 7" on the ground here; started the transition to sleet and freezing drizzle in the relative lull in precipitation rate south of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad I took the week off as we we're getting a new roof. Better to be home than piloting a big rig, although my time will come eventually.

Festus Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Situation is crazy. Some buses took 5 hours to deliver kids. And as most have said, gridlock everywhere. Why is this one so bad? A 6” snow with some mix is significant but my no means unusual around here. Underestimated? Timing? Unprepared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The freezing rain is going to do a number on the roads with major traffic. All the packed down snow will turn to a block of ice. It’s not like they can even be treated, because of the traffic. . Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmsptWx Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Was it lack of preparation or people not taking the weather people seriously? Show of hands: Who read, this week, on various Facebook pages "It won't lay, the ground is too warm." We have incredible minds like All weather and MAG and Millville and everyone here that provide information to people in as clear and concise a manner as possible and half of the responses are: 1) Boooo [angry emoticon] And the other half are 2) The ground is too warm. I understand that it seems like I'm trying to die on this hill, but damnit, why is seven inches of snow causing this to happen? It's not like we forgot how to Pennsylvania. It snows every single year. All the time. This is not a product of lack of knowledge/practice. This is a product of people and entities not wanting to listen. And with that, I'll shut up.

Voyager Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 6.5" so far here. Still snowing, but not as hard. The worst part is it's total gridlock on the roads. Every major hill here around Tamaqua is shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Wow 8.5”. Road issues I put on penndot. People started leaving at 11 am, state closed at noon. Roads already were gone by then. Forecast was for 2-4” which is manageable usually. Not this morning, clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
