  1. I'm enjoying the pics so far. This time of year, snow looks so much better in SOMEONE ELSE'S backyard than my own...
  2. 37 and rain. I can't imagine a worse mid-April evening than this one...
  3. 38F with white rain here in Tamaqua for the past couple of hours now...
  4. I'm still running my heat. Of course it's oil, so it's temperature driven, but I like my house 70 degrees inside, so if it's colder than that, it's going to run...
  5. I get it. I'd just hate see our forum end up resembling the political forum.
  6. Please guys. Don't let this virus ruin the great camaraderie we have on this forum.
  7. That would be a nice boost, but I doubt it too, and until I see the supposed $600/week unemployment suppliment the feds promised, I'm going to doubt that as well.
  8. All the bolded (and then some) are the very businesses essential to a bus company's survival. I've got quite an uncertain long term future ahead of me. Unless I can get back into trucking, which, with each passing day, is getting more difficult due to the insurance companies' experience criteria, I may be a part (or no) timer for quite awhile...
  9. Mid May could be doable, but probably on a limited basis. Theme parks, theaters, and any other large gathering places maybe not so much. I'm still afraid of opening up to soon and then having to shut it right back down again because the virus came back with a vengeance...
  10. After Sunday night, masks will not be an option in PA, but a requirement. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/04/pa-will-now-require-most-customers-to-wear-masks-workers-to-wear-them-on-the-job-to-slow-covid-19-spread.html?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=pennlive_sf&fbclid=IwAR14yfCANYhBwDOTvEKoBeFeTzhDr_Bek8gBivkevkBQnjOiHglbBmPw7VA
  11. Didn't a lot of us mention that once we got into April we'd see the pattern flip and "winter" would finally hit? Well, here we are...
  12. Without proper testing, the numbers will be, if not already, artificially skewed. If you don't test, you can't record the positives. If you can't record the positives, they don't get included into the state and county tallies, nor do they get reported to the CDC. If you can't record s positive, you can't record a death as Covid related. So by not testing, the positive cases are artificially lower than what they would (or should) be.
  13. Pre-frontal winds were a big nothingburger here, but we did get 2.22" of rain, which looks to preyy much be our final tally for the event.
  14. Aren't you guys west of the front/convection, or is there more to go yet? Radar to the southwest of the capital region looks rather weak...
  15. We may be under the watch here, but I highly doubt we see any severe up this way. We really never had a break from the rain, no wind whatsoever, a solid overcast, and what just seems to be a fairly stable atmosphere. I'd be willing to bet that any severe probably stays south of the turnpike.
  16. Welcome ssavon! Just to let you know. I'm the forum warmanista. While the others live for snow, I live for summer, and that in itself is a testament as to the fine nature of the folks here. I'm certainly an outlier, but am welcome just the same. Overall we have a great passion for weather and get along quite well.
  17. My forecast low for Friday morning is 29 so we shall see. I suppose I could put some pillow cases over the plants and hope it's enough.
  18. Over in my forum we've got a guy still posting fantasy snow maps...lol. Now that's one thing I don't want to see any more of this year. I've got green, growing grass, flowers, budding trees, etc. Time for spring and to put winter to bed until November...
  19. No wind here as of yet, but 1.39" in the gauge so far.
  20. Quite a bit of rain overnight, tipping the gauge at 1.14" as I type. Wind so far is not an issue, but will likely change later. As for storms, what is everyone's best take on who sees the best potential for severe storms and excessive wind gusts? South central? True central? The eastern locations? I suppose some consideration has to be given to if anyone sees any sun today, but I just wonder what's going to take place today, and where the worst might be.
  21. Why did I unignore this? I am so sick of seeing potential snow maps. I'm depressed enough with the Covid-19 stuff, the restrictions, the lack of warm weather to at least take a pleasant walk or work in the yard, lack of work, etc. I don't need anymore depression or I'll end up in an institution...
  22. Are you going to shovel that or just sweep it aside?
