    This (the bolded part) I was at a trucking job orientation and while I was there we got a 2 ft snowstorm. It was cool, but nowhere near as enjoyable as it would have been in my own town and my own home and property.

    Now here's some real TMI. We have no plans to welcome in 2026 with a bang...lol

    Timing of the squalls could line up perfectly for ringing in the New Year. Someone might have a whiteout at exactly 12 midnight.

    Would love to have seen the radar when this puppy hit Hazleton. Photo doesn't do it justice. It was nearly a whiteout at times on the Niagara Water lot while I was dropping and hooking my trailer

    We had a rapid rise of 9 degrees in 15 minutes from 36 to 45 around noon time.

    Sun is out here. Wind picking up. Temp 45.

    Well, we managed to creep up to 36 degrees, but I'm not sure if we'll crack 40 or not. Either way, I'm not looking forward to the wind this afternoon. Last wind event had me all screwed up with trees and wires down, and a tight detour, before I was told to use the turnpike.

    Still 33 here. Heard our parking lot and all the well locations are straight up slick ice. Gonna be another fun day...

    Another day another mid day FROPA. Seems that once a pattern develops, most storms follow it. Nocturnal storms. Four AM start times. Dinner time endings, and so on. While there is some deviation, it seems like storm timing follows a seasonal routine once established. Or maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there...

    Yup. I'm sitting at 30 on the nose right now. It hasn't been above freezing here since 7:20 pm on Christmas Day.

    Man, things got quite a bit icy here. Our sidewalk, with residual salt from yesterday morning on it, is complete glare ice.

    Seems like tomorrow is going to be a near repeat of last Friday. Mild morning, front blows through, temps crash and wind ramps up. I just hope there's not as many tree branch and powerline problems. I encountered a few road closures and subsequent detours on my last two water loads of the day.

    Probably. The valleys climates were less harsh than in the elevations. Hazleton is a good example. While it was settled and became a city, it gets crazy windy up there and snows much more often and heavier than here. In reality, all things considered, in winter, Hazleton is, relatively speaking, quite a harsh climate in the winter.

    Poking my nose in to comment on this. I read your forum a lot for analysis, but don't post, but this one got me thinking. There are new weather terms and phrases are annoying, but the one that gets me the most is "puking snow" when it's snowing heavily. It just sounds stupid...and gross.

    Tamaqua says, "hold my beer"...lol While we sometimes get into the show, many times we don't. Summer storms generally miss, big coastal storms are a roll of the dice, etc. Last Friday's wind storm netted me a 16 mph gust when everyone else had 40mph and up. The inverted "V" shaped valley I sit in tempers most of the more interesting weather others experience.

    It's just Tim's continuing harassment of Chesco in our sub-forum.

    30 degrees here as well. This was one of the tougher ones to shovel. This stuff wasn't concrete. It was solid granite.
  18. Voyager
    I might try throwing some salt to at least try to penetrate it and turn it to slush before I try scraping it off.
  19. Voyager
    Had to poke my thumb through the ice to get to the sidewalk for a measurement with my tape measure. Unofficially, as best as I could tell, I had about 0.75" of sleet and ice.

    I have a lightning detector on my station, and so far it hasn't recorded any up my way.

    You talking Valentine's 2007? My street WAS literally a slot car track. I live on a single lane one way street, and the two tire ruts in the frozen slush were 2-3 inches deep. If you could get out of your parking space, you didn't need to hold the wheel to go down the street. The car just tracked straight down the street.

    For me, I wasn't expecting much snow, even before the models trended the wrong direction. I know that we almost always flip as mid level warmth is under modeled. You seemed to be sitting pretty up that way, though.
  23. Voyager
    Two degree temp drop since my last post. Down to 23 now.
  24. Voyager
    Actually, it's mixed sleet/ freezing rain as there's already a slight ice accretion on my chain link fence rails. Temp is 25 degrees.
  25. Voyager
    Started here about 15 minutes ago. Straight to heavy pingers. No snow.
