The boss/owner would rather we and the trucks be safe than to risk a crash. I hope so. I’m glad to hear that your boss cares about safety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another piece of it is learning to let go of things you can't control. Sounds good on paper, but it is a real thing. eta - but I still love snow, and I'm really enjoying this month.

Think mid-upper Mont/Bucks should be in the 1-2" range...Philly C-1". Doesn't take long to accumulate a 1" or so w/a beginning thump... Thats funny because the NAM 3k, rgem, hrdps, wrfs, and hrrt all nudged totals to 2-5" almost everyone w of say 476 and n of the Turnpike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 7 hours ago, Albedoman said: Mt Holly just upped the the possible accumulation totals to 7 inches in the LV. They are worried about the convective banding and now saying 2" an hour rates are possible. WWA expanded into Montgomery and Bucks Counties as well. Walter Drag and I have been discussing throughout the week this setup as a possible nice surprise. That banding feature looks like a summertime tstorm front. Im willing to bet those that manage to remain snow under it pickup a quick 2-4" with some 5" lollis reported. Most guidance is hanging onto the cold just long enough now to not want to never flip my area until the final few minutes. This is the winter that just wants to trend the right way.
