I have a feeling your gonna screw up the winter for the snow lovers back home here.

I hope not. If I do, the guys will come out here to lynch my ass instead of waiting for me to step foot back in PA. 

Shiver me timbers... 

Coldest morning of the season so far for me out west. It's currently 41 degrees at 6:00am.

Are you referring to this GFS Happy Hour special for 12/15 into 12/16 ?!

This would be a heck of a way to start Winter with a HECS !

Hey, that's only 354 hours away. Think positive. You guys can do this!!!

Thanks, hopefully this tactic helps to appease the snow gods & brings historic snow to our region!

I hope so. If not, I tried...lol

This site needs a block button, desperately. Then this a hole can talk to himself because no one else can stand him, just like what happens to him in the real world. 

You can block him, unless that function is only available in off topic. The only thing is, if someone quotes him, then it shows up anyway.

Maybe we should use reverse psychology & have one of the warm weather loving posters start it?

Your wish is my command... 

Hoping from afar that you all have the snowiest winter ever!!!

Theres a politics forum if you want to post about that, especially when the members here have asked you to cut the shit. Enough, i have to babysit my own forum. Not doing it here too. 

Perhaps it's time to add one of the fine folks here as a moderator. We had one before, why not again?

I'm starting to hate this cold and may join you in Arizona.

Come on out. Live where it's warm, and when you need a winter/snow fix, Flagstaff is just 2 hours away.

Ethical question...

Is it wrong for me to wish for snow upon snow and a record breaking winter in the hope that my wife gives up and joins me in Arizona?

17 in Tamaqua this morning...

You guys are nucking futs...

Hey guys. Off topic here, but wanted to share my latest Jeep adventure. This was Turkey Creek north of Phoenix off of I-17, and was the toughest trail I've run so far.

Make sure to change the video resolution to at least 1080p if it defaults to 480p.

What commodity do you deliver? Did you move to AZ permanently?

At the time I delivered to Petsmart stores.

As for the move, it's "semi" permanent. I had to come out to take care of my ailing mother. I do want to stay permanently as I love it here, but a lot depends on external circumstances. Up to this point, my wife has refused to come out and join me here. 

I'm on the fence as to what to do when the time comes for my mom to pass on. I love my wife, so I'm still hoping she will change her mind. Otherwise, I'll likely be heading back to PA.

LOL, he saw more snow last year than we did. 

This is true, but only because my dispatcher sent me to Flagstaff everytime it snowed up there.

It was 45 here this morning, and the house got cold enough that I turned on the heat for the first time this fall.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Advisories were issued earlier this morning in the Laurels counties for mix/glaze of freezing rain (up to a tenth ice in the adjacent western MD counties). A larger portion of C-PA (likely the AOO-UNV-IPT corridor into NE PA) probably sees an initial period of wintry mix when the main precip arrives tomorrow morning given a pretty strong, though retreating high pressure over New England providing a CAD setup. High res guidance like the HRRR and that newer Rapid Refresh (RRFS) are more robust in cooling the 850mb layer on precip arrival and showing more frozen p-type (sleet and even snow). 3k NAM does show a bit of the same with regards to 850mb but shows freezing rain as a more dominant mix type. Reality is probably somewhere in between, with a better chance of a longer period of frozen the further north into PA one goes and biggest ZR impacts on the Laurel’s ridges and some of the adjacent ridges in the middle of the state. 

Could be interesting to see if advisories end up being warranted a bit further into the central counties. As noted by CTP, surface and road temps are likely to be quite marginal for impacts. A period of heavier mixed (esp sleet) could change that a bit. 

I have always enjoyed your analysis on winter events, Mag. You are a great service to our forum.

I must say, though, that I enjoy them even more now that they don't have direct implications for me...lol

.09 rain from the event.

Got more rain today than you did. Our event produced 0.53" in my backyard so far and over an inch a few miles to my northwest. 

As for my Tamaqua backyard, the rain gauge on my station stopped working, and I don't think my wife would know how to troubleshoot it.

Sunny and 65 - it is a spectacular day! Just came in from a lunchtime walk across campus and it feels wonderful to be outside. 

Sounds like a normal to slightly below normal day here in Phoenix for late January. 

Tell me again why people like bitter cold, arctic air...

27 degrees this morning, heavy frost.

Rant: I have a Weather bug app on my phone.

I am located north of Williamsport. Weather Bug is using Muncy location for my temperature reading. Over 15 miles away how is that accurate??

Just save your closest local PWS from Wunderground in your Chrome (or favorite browser) and open it up when you want to check conditions. That's what I do. I have my own backyard station in PA saved, as well as one that's about 3 blocks from the house here in Arizona.

Late PA nooners (10:30am) and it's 77 sunny degrees here!!!
