I have a similar phenomenon here where I live in Eastern PA (Tamaqua) to be specific. A solid line of storms can roll across the entire state, as well as all the Appalachian ridgetops, fully intact, until it hits I-81 just to my west. At that point the line will weaken and fall apart and then just to my east will reform and slam the Allentown/Bethlehem area and points beyond. It happens about 90% of the time.
Bryant Park looked nice, but we can only drop/pick and run there. We then have to head to the cruise ship area on the west side (between 11th and 12th Ave) to park.
As for the storms, per the USGS automated gauge, we got 0.70" yesterday.
I dropped the group off and then one of the Troegs folks had me back into their loading dock area since they weren't doing any shipping or receiving. Nice place. Had a "gourmet" grilled cheese sandwich that you dipped in tomato sauce. And some kind of organic sugar based cola from up in Maine that was pretty good actually.
I never even knew they existed until I did this private charter today. We did Troegs Brewery and then the winery. I didn't eat at the food trucks because I had a big lunch at the brewery. The trucks were expensive though.
Spending a nice Saturday afternoon at Spring Gate Winery here in the Harrisburg area. Beautiful grounds and buildings. Too bad I'm working and can't enjoy the wine.
I can see already by the radar presentation that I'm going to miss the good stuff once again. I have NEVER hated a place I live in more than this God-forsaking coal cracker shit hole.
And for the record, the lack of interesting weather is only part of why I hate it here so much.
Line disintegrated into nothingness. What looked good coming in from Bloomsburg turned into a moderate rainshower. I've never lived in a worse location for strong/severe storms than Tamaqua...
Got a 20 minute shower that dropped 0.07" here in Tamaqua. For once I'm happy it missed as I was able to watch my grandson's 12 year old little league all star game this evening.
Good to know. Thanks guys!
To be fair if I didn't have I driving career, I'd like the snow a little more, and since I've had my thyroid removed my already low tolerance for cold has become non existent.
Same could be said for bitter cold, snow, and wind chills. But I digress, I suppose that line of thinking is why I kind of fell out of the favor of a majority of this sub forum as I'm not a cold, winter person.
Window units are great when you live in the city and have to go to bed at 6pm for the next day's work. Drowns out screaming kids, and drunk neighbors quite nicely.
