My station is too protected to get anything close to accurate wind speeds. At the airport right down the road, a gust of 53mph was just recorded:

Mine is quite sheltered too. I had a peak wind gust of only 16.2 mph yesterday in my backyard.

I was listening to KYW about an hour ago and the traffic report was already talking about down trees (e.g., in Delco)

Up my way in northern Lehigh and Schuylkill Counties, downed trees, wires, and even some snapped power poles in New Tripoli on PA309 played havoc with the last two deliveries of my trucking work shift.

Lots of downed trees

Everywhere. It's totally messing up my afternoon/night.

Okay - let's have some fun.

I'll go 48 at THV, 51 at MDT and 55 at LNS.

Don't forget 15 in Tamaqua...lol

Not complaining, but my backyard is so sheltered by the neighborhood houses and the nearby mountains that I rarely get over 20 mph here

If it was only snow in Pa.

We need that, especially in the liquid form. Some of our wells have really taken a hit with the dryness, and now frozen precipitation and ground. One of the wells can only handle one truck per hour. If we don't space the trucks, we'll draw from the ground and not the silo. If the water lever gets below the pump in the bore hole, we'll burn it up, which will be a major and expensive problem. Even with the warm up, I'm not sure how much of that liquid gets into the water table and how much runs off.

Yes a much needed warmup. I'm sure some on here won't agree. I know it's the holidays where most of us want snow and cold , it sets the tone for the holidays. But i'm sure there will be more winter weather to be had...probably when were ready for spring in the latter part of March.

I'm thinking we warm for the holiday weeks when I have multiple days off. Then, come January, when it's back to regular work weeks, we tank again.

It's just my luck...

I am really looking forward to this warm up. In addition to frozen caps and valves in the trailer, we have to deal with an icy ground truth, and salt just won't cut through that much ice because each load puts more water on the ground. The is what we deal with at the loading locations.

Dropped into the singles if you don't do the official round up/down. 

9.9 at 7am.

Lots of single digits on personal weather stations this morning along the Susquehanna and in the Harrisburg area this morning. Coldest one I saw was +2 in Holiday Park near Linglestown.

Here in my backyard, though, I'm sitting at 14.

For those unaware, Jon has transformed his body and is in insanely great shape. He is ripped!

Good on him. I could use some conditioning myself. I'm quite out of shape. Shovelling yesterday kicked my ass.

We all know you’re not posting as much because you’re prepping to win Mr Universe. 

There you go antagonizing people again... 

Just kidding. I chuckled when I read this. And I see Sauss thought it was funny, too.

I was wondering anyone in Tamaqua Pa got any snow last night ?

Bro, imagine how annoying that would really feel every f****** storm after you take the time to stay out there and f****** post pictures. 

I'd either scroll on by or just answer the question. It wouldn't bother me. Like itstrainingtime, I don't do most social media. Facebook, YouTube, and here is all I do.

I still don't see anything wrong with what Canderson posted. I really can't figure out your beef with him. Everyone else, me included, like and respect the guy.

January 6-8 1996  happened   you should not have forgotten about that?

My God, no I shouldn't have.

It seems like all the la nina/-ENSO years that end in 5 or 0 are cold in December. See 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010. The only one one that wasn't cold was 2020, and we got a snowstorm mid-month.

What happened when the calendar flipped to January in those years?

I just looked back at the posts & didn’t see anything more than usual snow event banter & Observations.

Yup. That's all it was. There was nothing offensive or hurtful in any of the posts during that time frame.

Just now, Blizzard of 93 said:

See my post above. I have no idea where he got that idea. It was clearly a couple a long time posters joking around.

Absolutely. I saw it the same way you did.

No the attempted character assassination of blizzard using alcohol was the last straw for me. 

 I, and I doubt that anyone other than YOU, didn't see it as a character assassination at all.

You started the f****** trash with your posts.

DudeReally?Stop enabling someone who keeps ruining the forum. 

Your attitude ruins the forum more than Canderson's does six days from Sunday which means that he doesn't, and hasn't, ruin(ed) the forum at all, ever.

Just now, paweather5 said:

I agree 100 percent with this statement. He has always been a great member. I looked back at what he said last night and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. He posted facts that they didn’t get much, don’t see anything wrong with that. 

Nope. I don't either. He was just posting what was transpiring in his backyard/neighborhood.

  You just can't stop trying to be a snake at every single opportunity. Are You really trying to flip this script as if i'm trying to say, no one got much snow, is that really what you're gonna do here. Do you think the people are really so dumb that they're not going remember my posts from last night.  Just because everyone else has given you a free pass to be a snake in the grass doesn't mean I have to allow you to be one. I think your behavior last night was some of the most disgusting I've ever seen on the forum while people were actually trying to enjoy themselves. I've done some a****** things myself but I at least saved them for after the snow. 

Dude......really?

Because the pictures I post must be fake. Do you ever quit antagonizing and slapping people in the face.

Dude's whole deal last night was to antagonize discredit and ruin other people's fun and I don't think it could have been any more obvious.. 

Canderson's good people, and nearly everyone, myself included, have deep respect for him and his posts. He doesn't deserve this kind of treatment.

3 measurements yielded an average of 4.5" here in Maytown. Everything was encased in white and made for a true Hallmark scene. Only had about 1" on the driveway so no shoveling was required. That was my only disappointment.

Glad you finally got a decent snow event!

So this snow snow plus the previous two has put me at 11.5" for the season.

9.5" is my current snowpack, so since 12/2 we only lost 2 inches to melting/compaction. That's quite a testament to how cold the first half of December has been.

It just doesn't want to stop snowing here...

Or so in Bethlehem

 

You nailed it for down there. Up here you were a little low, but still better than most others, including the NWS. Not sure how we ended up getting into the same numbers that were forecasted for SEPA. Maybe slower storm movement, stronger development, more northerly track? Who knows, but it was definitely an overachiever north of the Blue Mountain.
