  1. @mattinpa, what confused you about this post? The GFS is slowly cutting totals, and the 12z Euro today drastically cut them. We see it all the time. Juiced up system a week out, and then the qpf and/or snow totals get whittled down. Likely due to more ip/zr vs snow as the qpf on this one hasn't changed much. I suppose there's a reason why they are called fantasy maps, but still...
  2. Can't say I'm not surprised. They all start out impressive, and then when it's "go time" they end up being a 1-3 or 2-4 inch slopfest...
  3. And almost always is a fast mover. Once Allentown flips, we here in Tamaqua flip about a half hour later...
  4. I may not always be the happiest person when I see that you posted, because it usually means some sort of wintry weather is on the way... , but you, sir, are a treasure to this sub-forum with your knowledge and willingness to share it. I think I speak for all when I say, thanks Mike, we are glad you are here!
  5. And they brought the hideous "Rubik's Cube" graphic out as well, which is about the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen...
  6. I was just going to post that the big 3 all seem to have at least a SECSy look to them. If that locks in, I'm not sure if be working next Sunday even though it's a short Palmerton to Hollywood Casino run.
  7. And I've been in a holiday layoff since 12/23. It's quite possible that my first day back will be on the 19th. Just in time (like always) for the pattern to flip.
  8. No it's not. It's beautiful out. Almost has the smell of spring...
  9. Sunrise/sunset for me today is 7:27am and 4:53pm respectfully. On a personal level, I hate the short days.
  10. Big squall along I-80 from Clearfield all the way to Loganton. Expect to see something on the news later about a pile-up...
  11. There was a good one inbound from the Milton area, but as usual, I-80 and the I-81 ridge top is eating most of it up. It's amazing how winter squalls and summer thunderstorms can traverse the entire state, crossing many ridges and valleys, but as soon as they hit I-81, poof...gone.
  12. Getting a better rate now. Eyeballing an inch on non-paved surfaces again.
  13. Somewhat, but the snow that IS falling is the typical light, snow grain variety we get so often up this way.
  14. Even though I'm not a snow lover, this crap still just boggles my mind...
  15. The lightest of snizzle going on here at the moment. It's not enough to even make the roads were.
  16. Glad I'm taking some extra time off from work as I contemplate my next move with regard to my mother's slowly failing health in AZ. I would have come totally unglued if I had to deal with snow the first few days back from the long holiday break, in which the weather was mild and benign.
  17. Umm...was it supposed to snow tonight? As I hit the sack, light/moderate snow here with about a quarter inch on non-paved surfaces, and streets and sidewalks starting to cave
  18. Gotta post in this here thread so I can more easily find it...lol On a weather note, the weather today in PA (Harrisburg in particular) was nearly identical to that in Phoenix AZ. It was 51 and rainy in Phoenix and 50 and rainy in Harrisburg.
  19. Other than rip currents, it appears that the sea will be fairly calm down in Cape May this weekend. Tomorrow is likely to be the swim day and this is the ocean forecast... Sunday S wind 7 to 12 kt. Sunny. Seas 1 ft or less.
  20. It was 48 when I started my Jeep this morning...
  21. I was wondering about the waves. They were pretty rough when I was down in OCMD as Dorian moved northeast. So much so that our after dinner sunset cruise stayed in the marina and back bay instead of going out in the Atlantic up the beach like it normally does. One of the things I wanted to do was take the ferry over to Lewes, but it may be a recipe for a seasick wife if the seas are that rough...
  22. Heading to Cape May this weekend for a little three day beach vacation. The forecast (at this point) is just absolutely stellar!!! Saturday Sunny, with a high near 76. Saturday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 68. Sunday Sunny, with a high near 76. Sunday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 69. Monday Sunny, with a high near 77.
  23. Aren't we kind of getting into the better range for the mesos over the globals, though? If we are than that would give the edge to the NAM. I'm watching this closely as I'm a trucker heading back east from California in the time frame for the storm. I usually run 40 to 44 to 70, but if it's going to be bad in Oklahoma, I may just head right on up to 70 and go through Colorado and Kansas.
