    3.0 here right now. No sooner do I go back to hauling water that the gates of arctic hell open up.
  2. Voyager
    Looks like, per this morning's GFS and Euro, we moderate after the 18th. For this water hauling truck driver, that is a most welcome development. First, loading and unloading the water in these temps, is tricky and challenging. Second, I've already had a few cold related issues with the trucks themselves. Sometimes I wish I'd have chosen a different career where I only had to worry about the weather for my commute to and from work, and not my entire day.
  3. Voyager
    Yup. I remember those days.

    That's the same with me for summer thunderstorms. When I lived in Bethlehem, all the best storms were northwest of me up in the coal region. I moved to Tamaqua, and now the Lehigh Valley gets smoked.

    Same here in Tamaqua. Pixie dust light snow that is starting to coat everything a bit. Even untreated areas of the roads (shoulders, etc).

    I can verify the flurries. I've been seeing them all day from Allentown to Hazleton.

    Boy do I wish we'd never gotten that snow on Tuesday. I don't know if it's that they are closer to the southern storm, or it's the lack of snowcover, but while Reading and Allentown are hovering around 20 this morning, I'm down to 7 up here. I'd rather have the 20.

    Tesnpest, but may go back to something with a rain tipper and wind cups again soon.
  9. Voyager
    I don't know so much that the times have changed. Just how the news sensationalizes everything these days.
  10. Voyager
    I've been looking them. It might be time to pull the trigger.

    After shoveling out 3 cars and 2 sidewalks, I'm beat already. At 58 years old, I'm not built for heavy work in cold temps. I really wish my wife would have wanted to move to Arizona. I'd have tried to keep my mom's house, and would have lived happily ever after. Instead, I'm stuck here...

    Damn. We've tainted even here in the coal region. Mixed sleet and freezing rain with a few straggler snowflakes currently. We did manage 4.25" before the flip, though
  13. Voyager
    Gotta say, we're getting some really nice sized flakes with this one. I'm used to having pixie dust snows here.
  14. Voyager
    Tis a winter wonderland here...
  15. Voyager
    Just hit the 2" Mark in Tamaqua at 10:00am. Still a good, moderate snow here. Temp is slowly rising, sitting at 29.1 currently.
  16. Voyager
    Everything up this way closed last night.

    Must have been a wall of snow to start. Wasn't snowing when I got up. Got my coffee and started on my video. Wife then told me it was snowing, and by the time got downstairs, full on moderate snow with everything covered already. One hour from nothing to about a quarter inch.
  18. Voyager
    I was editing my video from yesterday, and the wife said it started snowing here. It'll be interesting to see when, or if, my dermatologist appointment for today gets postponed.
  19. Voyager
    You have no idea how happy I am. I was totally miserable the past four months at that other company since I left.
  20. Voyager
    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
  22. Voyager
    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.
  23. Voyager
    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.
  24. Voyager
    It'll be interesting to see who verifies here... WNEP: 1-3 for Tamaqua CTP: 6-8 for Tamaqua
  25. Voyager
    For what? Adding counties to the watch area, or going from watch to warning or advisory?
