Ukie has measurable down to the MD line. My goal for this system (IMBY) is two inches. Seems plausible at this time.

I've been telling my circle of friends and family that I'm thinking 3-6.

Got the radiational cooling going on here. I'm at 25.2, but Hazleton stations are at 28.

This would make too much sense. Ridge and Valley screwzone. 

And give the I-95ers something to gloat about, which I absolutely hate.

I legit lol'd at this one...

Or as they like to call it... "New Brunswick."

My grandfather used to say, "don't piss this a way", Piscataway..."

Anyway, one inch or six inches, it looks like at least most of us see accumulating snow on Tuesday.

Just saw a few flurries floating around here in Tamaqua.

It feels really cold and raw today, too.

The good thing about the Tuesday event is that I won't be working and in the truck. The bad thing is that it may cancel a long awaited dermatologist appointment I had made way back in July. They were booked solid until December when I set it up.

Winds are here 

Keep them there...lol

Side note. I thought I made a post about 1:30pm concerning the snow and my employment, but I don't see it. Maybe I forgot to hit reply?

I don't know. Hope it wasn't deleted for some reason.

If the 0z and 6z runs of the GFS are even remotely accurate to what will happen, it will be an epic run up to Christmas this year! At least we have things to track so quick out of the gate this year!

Sure. Just in time for me to go back to hauling water. But that may be a good thing. New (old) boss doesn't really want his trucks out in snowstorms. Present company isn't like that. They want you moving if it's legal and the roads aren't restricted.

Usually do 6-8 turkeys every year. Taking the year off this year. The wind really can make it difficult to smoke. Especially 30 mph wind gusts.

It sure can. Keeps blowing my lighter out...

Good temp inversion this morning. 31 at my house and 38 up in Hazleton which is 1,000ft higher than Tamaqua.

More and more I wish I'd have stayed in Arizona.

well drought guy, here. These  pity rain events is killing us now. Just issued a drought watch for my water supply. The bad thing is that it did not come from PADEP or the USGS, it came from my water authority LCA.  This is getting serious as this affects the water bottling companies as well as 200,000 residents in the LV. Where is 2-3 in rainfall from a noreaster? WeE can not even squeeze out a popcorn fart for a decent rainfall event. Every time I look at the models, the snow potential keeps getting push back to the middle of December too. Welcome to the arid tundra region again.

It's certainly affecting the spring locations where some of the bottled water comes from.

From the video i have seen the lightning was mind-blowing. They also spoke about a possible microburst.

I haven't seen many lightning videos, but the rain and hail videos were something else. 

This may look like snow, but it's actually hail from a wild severe thunderstorm that hit West Phoenix in Arizona yesterday. This is the entrance ramp to I-10 from 83rd Ave.

Where do I sign up for the Black Friday snowstorm? 

That's as good a day as any for a snowstorm for this truck driver. I'm off on Black Friday, and won't go back to work until 12/3, so let it rip...lol

Dense fog and 28 degrees this morning. Wasn't exactly expecting a foggy morning.

Well, if it would snow, I'd rather it on the weekend when I'm not out driving the big truck...

Hi

Actually, I don't know why it posted that way. It was supposed to read "can you guess where I wish I was?"

Can you all guess where I was???

Somebody has to be seeing snow from this. It's 32 up in Perry County

Yup. Snowing in Tamaqua and Hazleton. I had a hell of a ride just to get to the truck. Quarter sized flakes and a Jeep with recessed LED lights meant that they caked up with snow.

I got the "star wars" effect, but I couldn't see the road worth a damn...

We had quite the snow squall right as I was picking up my first loaded trailer this morning. Wind blown, sideways falling, near whiteout "blizzard" for a time, which caused chaos on 81.

A seven car, one tractor trailer crash southbound killed one motorist and had the freeway closed for 6 hours. Ironically, it was a slick overpass and not visibility that caused this one.

Detouring through downtown Hazelton with a 53' trailer was not exactly on my to do list, but it's what I had to do, twice, to get my other two loads for the day

We should build our economy around the wind. It seems to be our best output

I don't know why there aren't any windmills in the industrial park by Hazleton. It's always windy in/up here.

Highest gust has been 52. But 45 mph gusts every 5 mins for the last 3 hours

This wind means business today.

 Advisory is for real.

Yup. Even here. I registered a 17 mph gust today, which I higher than anything in the past wind events.

That 38 I recorded back in October was likely (per a NWS post on PWS's) a bird that perched on the station.

The darn wind woke me up around 4 am. Hopefully my trash cans are not currently in the river!

They're down at Canderson's place waiting so they can travel together with his cans...
