I'm hoping Penndot leaves the level 3 restrictions in place. That gives me a legitimate excuse to tell the boss I'm parking the big truck before things get bad. This is one storm I don't want to be out in in a tractor trailer.

Unlike those who work in an office or other enclosed building, and have a short commute to work and home, I work outside for a good portion of my day and drive 10-12 hours in whatever winter throws at us. Cold and snow makes what I do for a living exponentially more difficult (and dangerous sometimes) than on warm days. That being said, even though it's imperative that I know how the weather is going to affect my day, perhaps it's time for a break from this forum until spring. My apologies...

I do, but I can't. I'm stuck...

To say I am not amused at the continuing weather pattern is an understatement. Does anybody see a break on the horizon, or are we locked in? If something doesn't change after the new year, I might end up in a really bad place...

Started snowing about 20 minutes ago. Jeep is coated. Roads and sidewalks are a wet/white mixture.

Nary a flake in Tamaqua yet. We had a super light dusting on the vehicles that looked more like frost than snow. That has since melted due to the current temperature of 32.5

I got you. Here it is... hopefully.

Ha. Just screenshotted it, and was going to post it.

The random posts about people being in the wrong forums, and I think I'm on the wrong board. I'm beyond depressed with seeing Friday's temps dropping. it doesn't help when Phoenix has three consecutive weeks of record pushing warm temps and the midwest torches this week. I like all of you, and I get good weather analysis here, but I'm a straight up warmanista, and am the antithesis of what this board was founded on and stands on. In reality, I live in the wrong part of the country, too, and should have NEVER left Arizona after my mom passed...

Finally looked back at Fridays stats for Tamaqua (my backyard). Max wind, as I mentioned earlier, was well below most places due to houses and nearby mountains sheltering my neighborhood. High temp: 57 Low temp: 24 Wind gust: 16.2 mph Rainfall: 1.26"

Much to my chagrin, that beautiful warm air just can't get east of the mountains. Seeing Iowa and Nebraska in the 60s depresses me.

I speak only for myself, but you can kindly escort yourself out of the forum for posting that...

Mine is quite sheltered too. I had a peak wind gust of only 16.2 mph yesterday in my backyard.

Up my way in northern Lehigh and Schuylkill Counties, downed trees, wires, and even some snapped power poles in New Tripoli on PA309 played havoc with the last two deliveries of my trucking work shift.

Everywhere. It's totally messing up my afternoon/night.
