Yeah, the snow maps were quite respectable...for JANUARY standards...
-
I hope. I can accept winter weather in late fall/winter, but this deep into spring, no way. Just like I wouldn't want 80's or 90's in December, January, or February.
-
All I'm gonna say is that this is bull shit... It's May for Christ's sake. Lets warm it up. I'm just sick of this cold and I'm even more sick of hearing about any kind of snow chance. The trees are greening up. My garden is starting to look good. (Bleeding hearts, Tulips, etc). I don't want ANYTHING that will possibly damage them.
-
Yup. No driver facing cameras!
-
Back to trucking. Don't know when or if the bus business will ever be the same. Plus, while there's a risk anywhere, I don't know if I want to be driving 40+ people around in such a small environment.
-
My bad. I went to bed early for a job orientation today and the radar looked like everything was past me. It wasn't. I actually ended up with 2.66" for the event.
-
Well, 2.52" appears to be the final tally for the event.
-
Now sitting 2.42" for the day since 12 noon.
-
Up to 2.06" in my backyard gauge.
-
1.35" and counting. Just had a heavier 1 inch/hour rate.
-
Up to 0.94" currently, so once it came in, it came in with a vengeance!
-
Closing everything down in the winter snow and bitter cold season would be awful. Dark at 5pm. Too cold to sit outside. No lawn or garden work to do. And could you see having to wait in line to get into Walmart for an hour when it's 10 degrees with a 30 mph wind? It's tough enough going through it now. I couldn't imagine having to do it in December and January when most people would be TOTALLY shut in their houses.
-
Cool! Thanks! Only in this crazy, mixed up year of 2020...
-
Well, one the heavier rain got here, it sure did get pretty wild outside. The wind is blowing it sideways half the time, and I'm guessing the worst has yet to get here?
-
Well we have 0.02" in the gauge so far. That happened about a half hour ago when I went out to fill a script at Rite-Aid and then took a ride to Walmart because the wife want's me to get a new house computer. I skipped the Walmart adventure when I saw the line of people waiting to get into the store. No way am I standing in the rain to shop at Walmart, so I came home. It's just a rather windblown, light rain at the moment, so we'll have to see what happens when more of that main slug gets here.
-
But if it were snow???
-
We're still dry here yet as well. We had a enough rain to wet the pavement, but not even register in the gauge, sometime prior to sunrise, but that was it. Nothing since then except for a gusty breeze.
-
I've been watching the HRRR closely this morning, and it now appears that we don't really get our heaviest rain until after 3:00pm and probably close to supper time. Originally, I was kind of expecting an all day washout.
-
And location. We got kind of sideswiped by Lee while the Susquehanna basin got dumped on. That same thing happened back in 2018 when Pine Grove kept getting floods. I wonder why, when south to north training events set up, the Susquehanna seems to be the favored location for the fire hose to spray...
-
Thanks. Neither do I, but mine is usually pretty close to the USGS automated gauge about a half mile north of my house. Over the next hour (which is as far as it goes) AccuWx's future radar does not move the eastern edge at all and basically stalls it along a line from Bloomsburg to Hegins to Hershey to Spring Grove.
-
How much do you have so far today. I'm at 0.00" as it hasn't started here yet, save for a couple of fat raindrops when I put the dog out this morning around 5:00am.
-
Hope some of you western guys start posting obs reports. I'll be living through your eyes for the first part of the day until that precip shield makes it east of the Susquehanna.
-
Well, we know it won't be in Tamaqua...
-
Perhaps. I wonder how long it would take to get to Philly if I kayaked the Schuylkill River?
-
Absurdity at it's finest...
