Dammit no. We already postponed my birthday dinner from yesterday. Remade the reservations for this coming Saturday, and now this...
-
We got just enough zr towards the end to put a crust on top that I can walk on. I'm going to have to get under it with an ice chopper to break it up.
-
Honestly, not only is it sleeting incredibly hard, but some of the pellets are so big they sound like hail stones and not sleet. You can see the size in the hits on the hood of my Jeep in this still grab from a video I took.
-
I don't know, but it's coming down pretty damn hard here at the moment.
-
Started right out as sleet even though radar shows snow. Getting heavier as I type. 27.5 degrees.
-
Looking at the radar presentation, when this finally gets to Tamaqua, be it sleet or snow, it's going to rip.
-
I'm not so sure. Like Itstrainingtime said below, radar looks uninspiring. I thought that earlier and was going to make a post about it myself.
-
Maybe. I thought it was on something, but perhaps it's on to something...

I don't feel like screenshotting it, but is the HRRR on crack? I just looked at the 9z run and it has me at 6 inches of snow on the Kuchera scale for today.
-
We could probably get twice that amount AND -30 temps and she'd probably not move. She's a stubborn woman.
-
42.6 inches in Hazleton/Tamaqua is the biggest number I've ever seen for my backyard on a model map.

Freezing rain is in the forecast, but no mention of any ice accumulation. Just what appears to be 2 inches of snow and sleet. Saturday Snow likely before 5pm, then snow and sleet likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 30. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow and sleet accumulation of less than one inch possible. Saturday Night Snow, freezing rain, and sleet before 1am, then freezing rain between 1am and 4am, then a chance of snow after 4am. The sleet could be heavy at times. Low around 25. Southeast wind around 6 mph becoming calm after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow and sleet accumulation of around an inch possible.

If it could come in here early enough, say by 8am, it would make for great photos and videos of the steam train. The Reading and Northern is doing an iron horse ramble tomorrow. Steam, cold, and snow is an awesome combination and can be a real sight to behold if the engine is pounding the rails, as it will pulling the grade here in Tamaqua.

Yup. I was 25 in 1993.

Black ice supposedly caused a double fatal on the Blue Mountain on PA309 this morning. The road's been closed for three hours so far. It's our only route with the permitted overweight 8,000 gallon trailers we pull, so the guys are sitting right now. https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/poconos-coal/coroner-called-to-scene-of-accident-on-rt-309/article_6b91f54a-e550-11ef-93f2-5f7a33143e2f.html
