    Getting some nice dendrites mixing in with the smaller flakes now, so the heavier stuff is hopefully is moving in. I just wish the wife was home from work already. She has a rental car that she's not familiar with as her Jeep is in the body shop getting fixed from when a deer ran into her drivers side fender and front door about a month ago.

    Don’t forget the pass on RT 80 Blakeslee through hickory run. I have watched the sliding and crashing from the mosey wood bridge. Scary stretch. Pa is full of them.

    Driving to cabin near BB saw the travel restrictions kick in at 1pm.

    Yes, I did forget about that one. And you are right. PA is full of them. I-80 by Lock Haven. I-81 going up through Clarks Summit. Etc and etc....

    the 10:1  has 20 inches for the LV  If sleet stays  at bay , I would say 25 in is a good bet. Nothing like a good wish now and then. Either way you look at traveling on those interstates will be a living nightmare if they are not shut down between Harrisburg/Scranton and Allentown.

    I'm a trucker, and I can't even begin to think what it would be like trying to climb the Pine Grove to Tremont hill on I-81 northbound at the height of this storm.

    I'm not sure if we'll be smelling the rain or wiping tears.  LSV is scarily close on this verbatim...but verbatim....it's a really nice run for all of us.  I'd expect voyager to fill in for happy hour as well.  Dont worry pal, i still think you are sitting pretty.

    I hope you're right, but I've seen these things go sideways so many times that I just naturally have a "what can go wrong" mindset.

    A mid atlantic forum member thought it amusing there is a town called Jim Thorpe, but what's up with the town named Mary D not all that far away?

    Mary D is right in my backyard almost, well, a couple miles west of me. It was named for Mary Dodson, the wife of a coal miner who lived in the villiage, or "patch town" as we call them in the coal region.

    It's not just you. I went outside after they posted and it's virtually dead calm here.

    There must be something to the Susquehanna that does it. Acts like a wind tunnel, perhaps?

    I have a feeling at this time Wednesday night we will have very similar weather ... 

    No doubt...

    What is this with NWS, and snow showers? Are we just getting showers with snow or snow heavy at times. :D

    Snow showers, mainly after 1pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 32. East wind 6 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%.
    Wednesday Night
    Snow showers before 3am, then snow showers likely, possibly mixed with freezing rain. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 24. North wind 8 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
    Thursday
    A chance of snow showers and freezing rain before 7am, then a slight chance of snow showers between 7am and 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

    Mine's almost the same. No precip amounts, though...

    Wednesday
    Snow showers, mainly after 1pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 28. East wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

    I told you 2 days ago that you were sitting in the catbird seat, and with the progged path, and deathband that likely comes with it.....I'm standing my ground.  You may not "win" but you'll definately be on the podium. #winning

    Oh yeah, I believe this is going to be a good one! I was speaking of past (and likely future) storms where I sit on the gradient from hell...lol

    Snow really is possessive, isn't it? (I'm saying this to ALL of us, really)

    Every time I complain when I'm mixing and others are snowing, I think of you first. I know there have been MULTIPLE storms over the past 10-15 years when you got a fraction of what I got. I also think of the Pittsburgh gang as well - they haven't had a double digit snowstorm in years. I've been incredibly blessed with some monster storms over the years.

    But tomorrow, when I'm watching others "cash" in while I'm not...it still stings. Snow has a way of making us become very selfish and possessive. 

    Yes it is. No matter how much we get, we want more, and even if we get clocked by one storm, we'll still be po'd if the next one misses.

    It sucks. No sense saying anything other than what it is. I try and appease myself by understanding that there are storms where I get decent snow while Mag and others get cirrus. Yeah, it sounds good now, but tomorrow afternoon when I'm pinging or ZR and others are 1/4 mile vis in +SN, it doesn't feel so good then.

     

    I think the worst for me is when three quarters of the forum is "puking snow" and I'm looking at "pixie dust". I can handle being on the warm side and it being a rainer while it's snowing elsewhere. Getting a leaf blower storm while 30 miles away their digging out gets under my skin.

    This is 2009-10 but displaced 140 miles north, and I couldn't be happier for that.

     

     

    I remember that winter quite well. Every storm ran into dry air/confluence right at the Blue Mountain. The gradient was so bad in one storm that Allentown got 16 inches and I got 2 inches
