SE PA never closed down due to low water/moisture levels. I just want a damn storm which I can shovel into a huge mound/pile. All we hear are leaf blowers after a event not V8 snowblowers. Or the event sails S and we receive zilch... Frustrating winter, 38F, Cloudy Birds-69 and other posters . Many of you do not know my background and why I am so concerned about the drought.

I used it for writing my papers in college and spreadsheets in the late 70's to 80's. You had to know DOS. Many of you probably do not even know that these computers were actually all made in Audubon PA- Lower Providence Township. Unfortunately, Commodore Computers went out of business at this location in the 1990's because they ended up polluting the ground water with TCE trying to clean up the computer chips at this facility. Pretty bad-- Superfund site. Spent a lot of time with EPA and Commodore while working in LPT trying to get the groundwater cleaned up. I have worked on environmental cleanups at many superfund sites before retiring--- Blue Mt Palmerton Zinc mine, Heleva Landfill, Dorney and Novak landfill, Rodale Printing, Moyer Landfill, Hebelka Battery,and Caloric facilities https://hackaday.com/2020/09/30/video-exploring-the-abandoned-birthplace-of-the-6502-and-commodore-64/ https://montco.today/2020/10/take-video-tour-of-abandoned-birthplace-of-6502-microprocessor-commodore-64-in-norristown/# https://www.commodore.ca/commodore-history/the-rise-of-mos-technology-the-6502/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted yesterday at 04:35 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:35 AM 7 hours ago, Duca892 said: funny you said this. I lived less than .5 mile from the ongoing Hurst fire location back in the 1970's. My parents old house was in the voluntary evac last week in Newhall/Santa Clarita Valley. Many times when I was in high school, I had to water down the roof while helicopters were dumping water on our property and with red fire retardant. Had a huge firewall/break in my backyard. Believe me a can write a book about my life's weather experiences from the climate/weather patterns from Ca to the mid west to the east coast. From tornadoes and 1.5 inch ice storms in Memphis Tn, blizzards and extreme cold in Wisconsin -25 degrees , to dust/fire storms in California and Mojave Death Valley temps in the 120's, to hurricanes in Mississippi, earthquakes and finally all the weather here in eastern PA since the 80's I would get up in the morning in Newhall, shivering from low 40's and in the same afternoon I would then be swimming in my neighbor's pool at 85 to 95 degrees with 50 mph Santa Ana winds blowing and humidities down to 9%. I have experienced rain at the Newhall house and then driving up that afternoon to Gorman/Tejon Pass (less than 25 miles) and getting my car stuck in 4-6 ft snows (not drifts) with snow blowers(not Plows) clearing I-5. I actually have B/W photos of this experience I could post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonyweather Posted yesterday at 01:36 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:36 PM Real breath of fresh air seeing such agreement between UK, CMC and euro at this range for the Sunday system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 02:46 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:46 PM We are back to below freezing days and nights till Friday afternoon. Maybe some flurries on Thursday afternoon otherwise dry until Saturday. It will warm to close to normal by Saturday and we should see some rain that afternoon. But big changes start on Sunday with the arrival of a strong arctic front on Sunday. With the passage of the front, we may see snow arriving by Sunday evening. Whether it's flurries or a plowable event will be determined in a few more days. Either way the coldest air of the season will arrive by Monday night and last through much of next week. Of historical note on this date back in 1912 the coldest reading in Chester County PA history was recorded at Coatesville 1SW and matched on January 22, 1961 at Phoenixville of 19 degrees below zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the 2000 Wild Card against Tampa and 2004 NFC Championship Game against Atlanta were some of my favorite games. I don't think we've had a snow game in the playoffs since those two.

ChescoWx Posted yesterday at 05:51 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:51 PM The latest model runs for model snow we will never have to shovel for the potential snow event on Sunday late afternoon and evening are below.
