  1. Thanks. I've been keeping an eye on this since yesterday. I'm heading to LA after loading in Ohio. I'd probably lose some time going south around it, but I might lose more if I-40 turns into an icy nighmare.
  2. Friday is where my interest lies. I will be trucking across I-40 fom Tulsa to the 66 Casino that day, if I don't drop south to I-10 to aviod it. What are the thoughts of you western guys and gals with regards to this event?
  3. Every global model shows energy spinning through New Mexico putting down 4-8 inches of snow at JUST THE PERFECT TIME for my western travels. Couldn't be a day sooner or a day later...no. Right on my travel day in the region...
  4. Recorded 0.10" of precipitation for last nights white rain to pad the yearly total a bit. If it would have been colder we'd have gotten somewhere around an inch of snow. As for the Sunday and New Year's snow, since I will be sitting in a truck stop in SoCal hopefully soaking up some sunshine, I hope the storms deliver for those of you who want it. In my case, I will probably see rain in IL, MO, and OK, and perhaps some white stuff along I-40 in NM and AZ. Hopefully nothing big as I have a tight time frame to get out to Los Angeles for Sunday morning delivery.
  5. Cold enough aloft for snow here, but surface temps too warm at the moment (35 degrees) to accumulate, so it's just white rain.
  6. NWS point and click gives me 1-2 inches of snow overnight...
  7. Yup. I'm at 73.38" right now after getting 1.82" so far today.
  8. I hope you all get a whopper of a New Year's storm this year. I'll be sitting in Southern California rooting you on!!!
  9. Thanks for the answers, guys! The Piedmont is definitely more pronounced down south, hence the better knowledge of where it is down there. So the Lehigh Valley is part of the Great Valley section, and here in Tamaqua we are in the Anthracite Upland section.
  10. I lived in Bethlehem at the time and we had 17 inches due to the same 6 hour flip to a driving sleet storm. BTW, in PA where exactly is the Piedmont? Would the Lehigh Valley be on the Piedmont? I ask because generally it's not referenced as much up here as it is down south.
  11. If I was sitting up on I-80 in Columbia by the water gap instead of I-78 in Bloomsbury right now, per radar, I'd be seeing some very heavy snow.
  12. I'm parked at the Bloomsbury TA truckstop in New Jersey and every now and then I see some mangled, half melted snowflakes smacking the windshield. Temp here is 38.
  13. A few days along the Gulf Coast, and here I am in Raphine, VA freezing my arse off...
  14. That's going to be quite the expensive burger...lol
  15. I wish, but the Loves that I'm at has an Arby's.
  16. 71 glorious degrees here in Katy, TX this afternoon!
  17. That was my favorite Christmas since moving back from Arizona in 2001.
  18. I was on it a few weeks ago and went through Nacogdoches. It's a good road. Lots of 70mph zones outside the towns.
  19. Actually, I may just head west on 80 from Lewisburg to Columbus, drop down to Cincy and Louisville and pick up 40 in Nashville. From there I can go to Little Rock, pick up 30 and go to Texarkana where I can jump off and take the overland route to Houston. It's 35 miles and 45 minutes longer to go around the storm than to try and drive into it or deal with the aftermath.
  20. You can hitch a ride with me...lol The one time I'd have preferred to go to Chicago, and I get a trip to Richmond (Houston)Texas. I will be driving down 81 and through Roanoke sometime on Monday. Most likely in the afternoon/early evening. I'm hoping and praying that the storm is a fast one and is out of that region by then.
  21. Glad I'm not going to Albuquerque this weekend. My ride through Oklahoma to Amarillo would be interesting to say the least...lol
  22. Now you know why I am the way I am wrt snowstorms. I'm the one doing that kind of driving in a 70' long vehicle that weighs up to 80,000 lbs and bends 1/4 of the way back. Snow and ice are extremely dangerous and nerve wracking conditions for me.
