lol...true

As for the video, there's been a couple of positive developments. I might go back to hauling water, but I do have an interview with another company tomorrow hauling potted plants and flowers, and if I like what they offer, I may go there instead. As a friend of mine said. "The past is in the rearview mirror, keep pushing FORWARD..."

We shall see.

Revisiting this post this morning as I have a choice to make today. One is to go with a new company where I'll be semi local, meaning that I'll be out away from the house a couple to several nights, or go back to the water in a shared truck situation running a 12 noon shift. The guy I'd share the truck with is not used to having a PM shift partner and is also picky about his truck.

I want to be home every night, but at the same time, don't want to put up with being "picked on" because the dude doesn't like sharing, and having to re-adjust the seats and mirrors every day. Nothing is ever easy...

I noticed that there is trash everywhere from the wind the last few weeks.  Awful.

Thankfully ours were emptied out by the trash guys before the wind cranked up. They start early around these parts and sometimes are out picking up at 1 or 2 am.

Nothing like doing a trash can chase before you have your morning coffee. Our whole street for blocks is riddled with them this morning. I got ours, and all my close in neighbors' cans and put them in safe places, but farther down the lane is an obstacle course...lol

It's the GFS, a broken clock is more accurate. 

Also I saw your video. Hang in there, life will get better for you.

GFS...oh my, GFS. Still showing a paste bomb on 4/1...

In a shocking development, this afternoon's rain is getting cut back and back and back. What looked like .5-.75" two days ago might only be .1-.2"

We certainly don't miss out on the wind though. It's already gusty (from the south) this afternoon here.

OMG, this Good for shits and giggles (GFS) models are acting like a far left wing reporter by doubling down on successive runs. What a joke.

How about 3 in a row? The 6z lays down the goods as well.

The 0z upped the ante giving Tamaqua 33 Kuchera inches total accumulation at the end of it's it's run.

And there is nothing wrong with tracking. I hope no one gives you grief...grief is being given in other subs and I don't understand why. Sure, the odds of something happening at the end of March/early April are really small...but that's not a reason to not invest in your interest with the right perspective. 

I wasn't expecting nearly 9" of snow on 4/6/1982 but that's exactly what happened. 

That April 82 storm was a doozy. We scored 11" (I think) from that one in Bethlehem. The cold that followed is what really impressed me with that one as we dipped into the single digits post storm.

Ugh...wtf is this???

Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't think today would be so cloudy, chilly, and raw outside. Temp keeps dropping and is now down to 44 degrees.

We got 0.64" from the event. First round produced pea sized hail and 3/10ths in 10 minutes. The rest came in two other rounds that were nowhere near as intense. Winds in my backyard were meh, as usual, but I am in a very protected location.

Seems like the line just can't move east. I never thought I'd still be awaiting its arrival post 8pm.

We had a little pre-show rain move through. Line still looks pretty solid to my west yet, though. We'll see if she holds. I'm not expecting anything severe, but a few noisy flashes would be nice.

Up to 68 here and still heavy clouds. Windy here, but not as bad as on the ridges surrounding the town. I can hear trees roaring at times like I did during Sandy.

Looking at future radar, it appears that any type of storm I see is going to be post sunset, and perhaps fully nocturnal.

65 here with a dewpoint of 61.

64/60 here, so just one off on each. It feels sticky and summerish, even with the wind. I just wonder how far east the really severe weather can get.

I wonder if that threat gets extended east as the day goes on. It seems like things are rapidly changing from earlier outlooks.

Almost seems like a summer morning.

Yes. 58 degrees here 

Check out this satellite view of the dust being sucked into the Midwest storm...

Part of the tornado warning verbage for Rolla, MO right now...

At 730 PM CDT, a tornado producing storm was located near Fort
  Leonard Wood, moving northeast at 60 mph.

  HAZARD...Damaging tornado and tennis ball size hail.

  SOURCE...Radar confirmed tornado.

I'm getting closer to just giving up on everything. My life has been a total shit show over the past year. Some of it my fault, and some of it due to others. Either way, everything I try to do to make things better ends up making them worse.

I just don't know which way to turn anymore.

So we went up to 71 beautiful degrees in Tamaqua today for the high.

69.8 (70) currently for the first one of the year. Feels really nice out!

We already are in a day 6 15% hatch for severe weather. That has to be really rare here. 

I don't mind seeing severe weather. I just can't stand multiple, consecutive high wind days.

I'm not sure I've ever seen CTP start talking about winds 5 days prior to onset:

A tightening pressure gradient around this system will bring
the potential for strong winds throughout the weekend. This
risk of high winds has also been outlined via CPC`s D8-14
Hazards Outlook.

Not again...
