I'll add that while I have a general disdain for winter, I still enjoy tracking the big dogs. When it comes to a straight up Miller A or KU storm, I'm right there with the rest of you rooting it on. I'm a go big or go home person. I just don't care for prolonged arctic outbreaks, small nuisance storms, mixed events, endless cloudy days, and most of all, the ice at work.

Actually, I'm in the coal region of PA in Schuylkill County. I venture over here to read analysis, but rarely post out of my sub forum. Generally, we're colder than you guys in the metro, but I live in a row where I'm insulated both left and right, so I only have two exposed walls, but the house is 110 years old, so not a lot of extra insulation. Still, I'm fairly happy with our oil consumption all things considered. It could be worse. The single home across the street from me sees an oil truck every month in the winter.

I usually have to do four fillings on a 275 gallon tank per year. It's been generally been three in the colder months and one that carries me through summer. Most often the fill months are February, April, then October, December.

What is it with the damn clouds every day? We had beautiful sunshine this morning and now it's overcast again. Perhaps I'd not hate winter so much if we could get some real sunshine between storms/disturbances.

You and me both.

Yup. Dusting here as well.

So that's how I ended up with an inch and a half. Thanks pal...

So this is the video from Monday that I mentioned above. The title says it all...

So I set my alarm and got up at 3am to experience the squall. While it was impressive, it wasn't the hardest I've ever seen it snow in a squall. In fact, at the end of my upcoming video, the squall that hit Hazleton on Monday evening was as, if not more, intense than last night's. That being said, it was still a good one and I ended up with 1.25" out of it, as my overall measurement was 1.50" which included the light snow activity that began after 6pm. Due to my sheltered location, my peak gust during the squall was a paltry 8.8 mph, while stations in more open locations recorded 20+mph. There was no visible lightning or audible thunder, but my station did record three nearby strikes. Was it a good squall? Yes Was it worth setting my alarm for? Not really

Well, I wasn't expecting much until the squall later, but we've got a nice quarter inch coating on everything so far and still pixie dust snowing as I type.

Whoa...check out this video clip from out near Erie. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/185dALhiJN/

Same here with the snow. Light to moderate with a dusting on all surfaces.

Looks to be about 0315 to 0330 if it holds together and is timed as depicted for my backyard. I'd love to be awake for it, but I don't know. Wife and I sometimes make it to midnight, but most times don't anymore (sucks getting old), so 0300 is going to be a push no matter what. I'd either have to try and stay awake, or set my alarm.

I have not, so maybe one day I'll do it. I have a lifted Jeep, so it certainly wouldn't be a problem getting around.

This (the bolded part) I was at a trucking job orientation and while I was there we got a 2 ft snowstorm. It was cool, but nowhere near as enjoyable as it would have been in my own town and my own home and property.
