What intersection are you approaching? Edit...nevermind. Union Blvd eastbound coming up the hill to Main St.

So I guess I need to eat some crow. Early this morning, looking at the radar imagery, I thought the snow was mostly over. I just talked to my wife, and she said it's still snowing. But in my defense, I didn't know CTP's radar was down.

What happened to snowing until 10 to 11am? Just looked at radar, and it looks like it's over for many by 7am.

67? Wow!

I'll tell my wife to keep an eye out for your trash cans...lol

Off topic. Does anyone here have recent experience with assisting a loved one with placement into a nursing or assisted living facility? Mom's agreeable to doing this so I can return home to my wife and family, but I got some sticker shock when I found out how much they cost per month. We're also not sure she would qualify for medicaid assistance. We're not sure if it's financially possible. She wants to stay out here, so getting a one story house with her living with us in PA isn't an option. I'm perplexed and frazzled as I really want to come home, but I'm not sure if we can do it. Any opinions or help is appreciated.

Isn't that the case so often? Once you get good cold, the storm track is suppressed?

True, but one warning level snow every 2-3 years doesn't cut it for a winter weather lover. The past few years have been horrid in that respect. It seems you guys can't beg, borrow, or steal an optimal big snow producing track.

Yup...lol But, it was 27 this morning again, and we did have a freeze warning, which obviously expired now.

That looks like it gets it done quite nicely.

I'll take that...for now, but I am so ready to come home. Sad part is that unless my mom agrees to come home with me or go into a care facility here, I'm stuck. I'm missing my wife and family bad though...

Thank goodness...

I can't tell you much I like this post, and moreso, the map!

Must be windy AF on the ridgetops. The PA511 cameras are swaying quite nicely up on the I-81 ridgetop in Schuylkill County.

WTF...

Batten down those trash cans...lol From what I saw on Facebook posts, friends (who don't know proper measuring procedures) were showing 8 to 11 inches in the Tamaqua and Lehighton areas, so I'm GUESSING my backyard got similar. My wife can't be bothered with measuring snow, so I'll never know the exact number.

Hopefully it's a precursor for the rest of this winter's storms. Far to often, in the past, the trends were the opposite.

22/19 on my backyard station back home. I'm "guessing" that there won't be much in the way of virga when the precipitation overspreads the area.

You beat me to it, as I was going to post the same map. CTP put Tamaqua in an 8-12 lollipop in far eastern Schuylkill County. It'll be interesting to see if it verifies.

How close do you live to your neighbors? We won't laugh, but if any of them saw you, I'll bet they did.

Nice to see the models trending in a good direction for once. Hope it holds for you guys.

But then....CTP introduced mixing into the Tamaqua forecast for Saturday night. Saturday Night Snow, possibly mixed with rain before 1am, then rain, snow, and freezing rain likely between 1am and 4am, then snow and freezing rain likely after 4am. Low around 29. East wind 10 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

I hope not... Looks like models trended better overnight?

Probably some kind of computer algorithm that takes temp, dp, compaction, and who knows what else into consideration.

Tamaqua sits right on the 3-6, 6-10 line.
