    Prediction....we torch in mid-late February then have more chances in March.  It's not over. 

    The torch seems guaranteed - but nothing in the pattern shows me to we can get enough cold along with moisture in March to produce anything to stick to anywhere down this way. The AED machine has been placed on the victim.

    So, since it appears we are in for a rather mundane week of weather, I thought we'd play a little game.  I have a nice shiny nickel for the person who can tell me what mountain is pictured in my profile pic.  Your one and only hint is that it resides in the United States of America.  No cheating with whatever high tech image search crap is available haha.  Board bragging rights on the line, let's hear it!

    I don’t remember the name but it’s Northern California - part of the Cascades. It’s impressive driving ip I5 from SF to Eugene.

    My parents aided with the post storm collection and reconstruction of Homestead, Florida. I fell in love with the weatherman (Tom Casey, WTAJ in Altoona) around the same time. I used to pretend to do the weather on the wall of my apartment outside as a kid. Weather is something I love. I love reading about it, learning about how the weather works, how storms occur, why they act the way they do, and why they don't sometimes. I enjoy the post-storm analysis or autopsy when things go wrong. 

    I love the extremes of all seasons. I get off on disaster. Not so much the human toll, but the toll the planet takes from an EF5 tornado or from a 7.1 magnitude earthquake, or how Texas shuts down when it's below 60. The problem is, the extremes seen to be heavily slanted towards one thing: flooding. I don't find any interest in flooding. I know how water works. I know how the lack of dikes work. It does nothing for me. 

    So the current global trend is kind of boring and sad to me. So, yeah. Some of us may lose the passion for weather as we all become Roanoke. 

    What a dweeb.

    But as the earth continues to warm weather will continue to get more violent. We have seen extreme events every year now in America and it’ll just increase. Hell a standard squall line here now can throw down 60 mph winds like it’s no big deal. That’s not normal. 

  4. HEY EVERYONE LET’S TALK MORE ABOUT HOW THE LSV IS BASICALLY ROANOKE AND ANYWHERE NORTH OF STATE COLLEGE IS VAIL THAT MAKES US ALL FEEL LIKE WINNERS YAY SNOW

    Sorry had to stand outside for 10 mins and other than the sun burning my retinas and the wind blowing through my body it looks like a desert here now.

    What a mess the roads are this morning. Between the moon crater sized potholes, black ice, and flooding that's been de-iced by many dump truck loads of salt, it was quite the challenge to get from Tamaqua to Lehighton for my semi annual DOT physical this morning. And while I haven't seen any yet, there are reports of a few near whiteout snow squalls around the area.

     

    Completely dry down here. The wind yesterday dried off most the rain / puddles.We we’re out 2-3 h on re last night and never came across anything slippery.
