    Wind profile from my drone app. It shows 32 degrees up at 5,000ft, or just above 850mb. I guess pingers will be here soon.

    During the Blizzard of 93 in Bethlehem PA we flipped to heavy sleet for 6 hours, then flipped back to heavy snow for a couple of hours and still ended up with 17 inches. I often wonder how much we'd have gotten if it would have stayed all snow.

    Actually, the 22z HRRR wants to take the sleet all the way up to Scranton. Can that even be right?

    Dry air...sleet...anything to f**k up a good snowstorm... Still all snow here. Just measured 4" on the dot, but had to shovel for the dog, so we start over. It's been 6 hours since onset, so I don't think it'll mess up the numbers too bad. Air temp is 23 in my backyard, but I just don't like seeing that dry slot or the pingers moving north so fast. Scares me a bit.

    1.75" here in Tamaqua, but we started later than you guys south and west.

    There is truth to that. I've seen many a forecast bust for to mix and change much farther north. For my backyard, if the Lehigh Valley or Reading changes, we go over about 15-30 minutes later, even if it's not forecasted.

    Same here in Tamaqua. Never in the center of a contour or jackpot zone. Always on the gradient.

    I am NOT liking the 19z HRRR. That run shows sleet wrapping around all the way up to my location. It would be so nice to NOT taint for once.

    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.

    I may miss the first flakes, but I'm going to take a little nap to recharge the batteries for a night of observing and (hopefully) filming for my YouTube channel. Currently 26 degrees with solid lead gray overcast.

    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....

    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 take a ride with my next door neighbor to go to Macungie to get a truckload of heating oil and come back to an I-81 mauling on the NAM's. Unbelievable!!!

    You forget me and my Schuylkill County pixie dust...lol

    Mine's mad at me all the time. I don't need a snowstorm to pizz her off...lol

    What's with that area of lighter accumulations (8-10 inches) in the Lehigh Valley? Subsidence between banding features? If so, that's a bit to close for comfort for me...
  19. Voyager
    If you're talking about the 3k then yes, I most definitely agree!
  20. Voyager
    Oh no they didn't... Wednesday Night Snow before 1am, then snow and sleet. The snow and sleet could be heavy at times. Low around 23. Northeast wind 8 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
  21. Voyager
    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.

    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.

    Take a look at my post count, and I still sometimes think like that...lol
  25. Voyager
    There must be something to the Susquehanna that does it. Acts like a wind tunnel, perhaps? No doubt...
