Ruin

Unless the radar fills in after the temps warm up above frz. All forecasts will bust with the rain over night. infact we didnt get the real heavy slug of moisture models hinted out over night at all so far. mod to mostly like frz rain or a mist for a few hours.

Oh wow the radar really broke apart.

I’m not sure that is correct, You’re employer isn’t responsible. And most people have no idea what. State of emergency is.

Yes if you feel as if they forced you to come into work or they will fire you. it was a law that was passed in the 80s now that law has changed here and there. but I was even told by a friendly employer that called all the employee's and even stated this to us. saying I understand we are having a blizzard if you feel pressured to come into work dont your are protected by the law.   

The law in PA is so different its crazy vs city and country side. im looking for a updated law atm.

10 was my top number. I fell like I hit this one pretty well. Don’t ask me to do it again. 

I saw some place got 11.5 inchs but not sure if it was WV or SW PA

My employer sent a mass text at 5:15 telling 3rd shifters to be in on time and everybody tomorrow is business as usual. #whoops

your employer is responsible if any one is in a accident since some employees feel as if they dont show up they are fired. or will be written up etc. i had a job who tried to force me to come in saying you better find a way. mind you this was in 2 feet of snow. I was like look here 1 your not my dept supervisor 2 I dont have a vehicle that can drive in snow up to my doors. 3 if i feel like im forced to come to work or ill be fired and if i get in a accident cause of it your held liable. so unless your going to pick me up in a lifted truck you better calm down. with that said id rather drive in 2 feet of snow vs ice. Mind you this post under is more about snow. but if you did drive to work and get in a accident do to no fault of your own but because road conditions were not safe. Also does any one remember when a state of emergency meant if a cop pulled you over you got a ticket if you were not essential personal.

hmm so as soon as it starts back up I go from 29-32 out of no where. hope heavy bands can knock it down to 29 and snow. but i doubt it. something fishy is going on heh

I thought the same thing until i stepped outside and discovered it's a very fine light rain. (at least down this way) 

eh fudge all rdy turned to frz rain not even sleet? hopefully when we get heavier bands we will switch to snow.

hmm rader shows blue for the last hour but nothing falling? Im surprised I thought that front thumb of snow would have moistened the air up enough to where even lighter snows would fall.

Annnnnd about done with snow I’m guessing. 

Nope its still snowing here just outside harrisburg it will be lighter for the most part. but could snow till 5 but we will get that damn dry slot to happen at some point.

So my forecast for tomorrow is 52? with all the snow that is falling then a good ice on top of it then less rain what was foretasted. how do I hit 52? I always learned fresh snow creates its own cold. so at the very most mid 40s?

So I hit the sack at 8am with not really any thing going on. woke up at 11am with just over 4 inchs the snow has slow down in the last hour or so. but looks like things have changed vs that bad weather forecast at 6pm last night saying the mix will start at 3-4 and be all rain before 7pm. they had my area going above freezing at 6pm. now im seeing every one say most places wont get out of that range till 10pm

Tom Russell? 

No it was the guy from abc 27 the newscast at 6pm 

I think my local news is going with the gfs as the fav model. they showed me being ice by 3pm and rain by 7 in fact rain all the way up to north east PA.

hmm local news weather has bumped the temps up all next week into the mid 40s all but 1 day.

O i had no idea about a sat storm at all up till noon today local weather was saying pretty much clear over the weekend but watching later sunday night.

Any chance that snow shield in western central PA makes it into harrisburg area? it looks pretty sizable but these things normally break apart or dry up. Also when if at all will a post be made about the late sunday snow and tues night snow chance?

Freezing rain in Harrisburg - coating on most every untreated surface now.

All rain now in Etown 

strange radar was showing heavy pinks just like mins ago and im close to etown so gasp

Oh ok no worries its why i was a bit puzzled haha yeah heavy sleet now temp went from 32 to 30 I dont have a fancy . temp gauge tho

it was said hitting 32.2 can still freeze tho its only at 32.9 where the action of freezing stops if memory servers 

hitting 32 it still can freeze rain tho im not following?

I was just out, and its pouring sleet and accumulating 

i was out cause my silly dad always shovels snow right around the time we get frz rain its just silly if you ask me. id rather walk on snow covered in a crust of ice vs ice on sidewalk only. but for me we have a dry slot for the 30-50 mins i was out.
