Voyager

You have no idea how happy I am. I was totally miserable the past four months at that other company since I left.

Occasionally maybe, but mostly Hazleton, Allentown, and Lansdale. We carry hammers and torches for the valves. It's a pain and slows things down a bit as far as normal operations go, but it works.

I'm going back to hauling water (a retirement opened up a day shift position) so I'd rather not win the low temp contest...lol

The old saying of "you've got to smell the rain to get the best snow" may apply here. Whomever is close to the R/S line might be the ones to cash in, especially in the higher elevations.

They did for me too. They DO have me a little higher than you, though at 3-7 inches. Seems surface temps are going to be pretty consistent around the region, as they have me at 36 as well. I'm not liking that Friday morning low though. They shaved a degree off and now have me at 8.

It'll be interesting to see who verifies here... WNEP: 1-3 for Tamaqua CTP: 6-8 for Tamaqua

For what? Adding counties to the watch area, or going from watch to warning or advisory?

As a truck driver, I can say that you're a lucky person. In my profession, I wish I could be off until March 1. I would enjoy snow storms much more with a winter layoff.

Did any of you look beyond Tuesday's forecast snow? Might be the first single digit night of the winter for some. Thursday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 9.

We had 3 inches of snow with temps in the low teens the day of my father in law's funeral and burial. It was quite the interesting (and sad) day as he passed Christmas morning, then was buried just before New Years.

Good, moderate burst with good sized flakes going on here. Grass and Jeep getting white. Of course, not expecting much, but it's a wintry prelude of what's likely to come in 36-48 hours. Unless the models do a total flip, I expect a watch to be issued by supper time.

Light but steady snow has commenced in Tamaqua. 33/21 at the moment.

Sounds like watches may be hoisted for some later on this afternoon. The latest WPC probabilities of 0.25" or greater liquid equivalent snow/sleet paint medium probabilities (40-70%) across most of the region, with slightly lower amounts expected in northwest PA. The latest Winter Storm Outlook highlights a 30-50% chance of Warning criteria snowfall (5"+) in northeast PA, primarily east of US-15. GEFS and ECENS probabilities of 6"+ have trended up a bit also supporting the 30-50% probability in the Poconos, with an even higher likelihood up through coastal New England. If the current track/timing holds, watches may be needed in the next forecast cycle. At this time, though, a plowable snowfall seems like a reasonable bet for most of the region. Guidance has remained consistent overall for snowfall amounts with the last two runs, however some uncertainty remains whether or not warm nosing above the surface could limit snow across the PA/MD border. If mixing is a problem for anywhere in Central PA, it would be for locations southeast of US-30 in York and Lancaster County. Continue to monitor the forecast in the days ahead, especially if you have plans to travel.

So did CTP. Last night they said 3-5 for my backyard on Tuesday, and now they added in overnight accumulations that take it to 4-10. Monday Night A chance of snow after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 23. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Tuesday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 37. Calm wind becoming northwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.
