Voyager

That's so cool to see. Like I said in my post, I'd never seen it before. I just happened to be outside at the right moment.

We got one, which I kind of figured might happen once we were given a hazardous weather outlook this morning.

Maybe, but I almost wish we were getting about 4" of snow before the cold hits. The tulips are about 1-2 inches out of the ground, and a covering of snow would protect them somewhat from the harsh cold.

That wouldn't surprise me in the least bit.

I know. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw them.

We've got tulips popping out of the ground in Tamaqua already...

I'd travel for palms, you guys travel for plows...

We're saturated...

I'm just getting sick of the parade of storms at this point. How many months now have been above normal with precipitation?

What is that pink dot located almost over my house.

Thanks! it's not something I wanted to do, but I've hardly worked since Christmas, so a change needed to be made. If I stayed, I'd have to endure another 2 months of hit or miss work, followed by 2 months of non-stop work (school field trips) followed by about 5 months of hit and miss work again until the Christmas theater trips picked up in November/December, after which it would go in the tank again.

Regional trucking. I liked the buses, but the work is too seasonal and sporadic.

Guys, I'm probably going to be starting a new job on Wed/Thur. Whenever I do that in the winter months, it usually snows.

We're out again, and this one wasn't a flicker. It just shut down and that was that. We'll see for how long.

Had a few power flickers here a couple minutes ago. Anyone else having power issues?

I'll post a photo to Facebook, then quickly right click and save it, and if it's something I didn't want of Facebook, I'll quickly delete the post. It'll drastically reduce the file size without compromising too much quality. Then it's small enough to attach here on AMWX.

Maybe someone else has experienced this one, but in my 52 years on this planet, I haven't... I went out on the front porch for a smoke (bad habit, I know) and it was raining lightly. As I was out there, I noticed what appeared to be fog reducing the visibility on the mountains around town. At first it was at the top and then slowly descended as if the cloud deck was lowering. I knew it was snow, and told the wife that probably 200 ft up it was snowing. Within 5 minutes of that statement, the first flakes started mixing in. It went to nearly all snow for a few minutes, but is now back to about a 60/40 rain/snow mix, and the "haze" has moved back up the mountains a bit. So the atmospheric battle has begun here, but still, I've never seen it play out right before my eyes like that before...

Most of the morning was quiet wind-wise, but I was just outside and noticed a west-northwest breeze picking up, so things must be changing. Not expecting much, but I wonder how long before the flakes fly. Looking at my phone radar, it appears that snow is mixing in as close as I-81 as I type this.

Upstairs must be cooling off before the surface. Found this ob for Hazleton @ 9:00am... HAZLETON LGT SNOW 41 39 93 CALM 28.93F VSB 1

The pressure fall is what has me most intrigued right now. 979 or 28.92 in the backyard.

Pressure in my backyard is 28.99in or 982mb at 8:00am. Pretty deep storm system. Just think if this puppy was riding the coast instead of the mountains...

So I have the great fortune (on my only day off work this week) of thanking a high school ski club up to Montage in Scranton tomorrow night. Any ideas on how much snow they might get up there tomorrow?

That was my problem this morning. It was 50 in Hazleton at 1700' and 42 here in Tamaqua at 850'. Once the sun came out, we mixed it up good, and the temp got up to 62 here.

I'm not, honest... You can have it!

It's warmer up in the attic than in the basement. It was 50 when I was up in Hazleton, but only 42 down here in Tamaqua...
