Well, my post was based on what modeling is consistently spitting out imby. Absolutely agree this is a classic elevation favored event, but modeling has me at 32-33 during snowfall. At night, that's cold enough for periods of 10:1 accumulations provided dendrite growth is cooperating up above. But as I said, I  was never one to be concerned about the NWS forecasts. When I  lived in MD for the first 61 years of my life, LWX almost always played catchup when it came to snow, so I  lost interest in their forecasts. 

Oh yeah, I get it. Wasn't calling you out. As for the NWS playing catch up, CTP is/was the same way. They've almost always played conservative with totals up almost to game time.

If modeling holds thru the 12z suite, I'm sure they'll update me, not that I  rely on NWS forecasts at all.

We'll see I guess. The higher totals may verify up north of Tamaqua (Hometown and beyond) due to the higher elevation than the borough proper. Many times, we get little if any accumulation, then a mile north on 309 and up the hill in Hometown, there's a slushy inch or two. Then after you climb up to McAdoo and Hazleton, you get into more serious accumulations.

It can be a totally different world up there in a marginal situation. It'll be 28-30 degrees and snowing like a bastard up there, and 35 with mixed precip in Tamaqua.

They cut me back! From "up to" a half an inch or less both Sunday night and Monday morning to just Sunday night. Not 1 model is anywhere near that paultry here. Lol

Interesting...

I know anyone can click and get the forecast, but this is where they went with Tamaqua on the point and click. It had been a half inch Sunday night and a half inch Monday morning.

Looks like CTP caught on to the models increasing the snow totals. Verbatim, the Tamaqua forecast went from a half to one inch to a possible 2-4 inch finish.

Thats quite the turn of events if it verifies. 

My forecast (Tamaqua) for tonight made me laugh. The way its worded it would be best to stay out and close the bar before attempting to drive home. You have a 1 hour window to be able to see where you're going...

Sorry. I should be posting the PA maps.

Looks somewhat like an I-81 (northeast of Harrisburg) special.

Voyager does it again!

"Almost nooners" here in the desert...

So it's 79 degrees here as I type this. I know what I posted this morning, but when the time does come for me to move back, it sure is going to be tough to give up this nice weather. 

Thanks guys for understanding and commenting. It means a lot!

You're a good bunch! 

Off topic again, but what do you do when you realize you're in the wrong place, but don't want to hurt your mom?

While I try to stay positive, it's becoming clearer that after a year out here, I should be back home with my wife and family. Life is getting more difficult as I long to go back to normal. Work keeps screwing around with me, I'm lonely with no friends, I miss my wife, my daughter and grandkids, the dog and cat, and everything else that we did together. 

Here, it's just me and mom, and while I love her dearly, I'm just all out of whack. I want my wife to come out, but she won't. I want my mom to move back east, but she won't. 

In a nutshell, I feel like I just don't belong here anymore, and im afraid I'm going to lose EVERYTHING if I don'tmake a move soon...

I have a feeling your gonna screw up the winter for the snow lovers back home here.

I hope not. If I do, the guys will come out here to lynch my ass instead of waiting for me to step foot back in PA. 

Shiver me timbers... 

Coldest morning of the season so far for me out west. It's currently 41 degrees at 6:00am.

Are you referring to this GFS Happy Hour special for 12/15 into 12/16 ?!

This would be a heck of a way to start Winter with a HECS !

Hey, that's only 354 hours away. Think positive. You guys can do this!!!

Just now, Blizzard of 93 said:

Thanks, hopefully this tactic helps to appease the snow gods & brings historic snow to our region!

I hope so. If not, I tried...lol

This site needs a block button, desperately. Then this a hole can talk to himself because no one else can stand him, just like what happens to him in the real world. 

You can block him, unless that function is only available in off topic. The only thing is, if someone quotes him, then it shows up anyway.

Maybe we should use reverse psychology & have one of the warm weather loving posters start it?

Your wish is my command... 

Hoping from afar that you all have the snowiest winter ever!!!

Theres a politics forum if you want to post about that, especially when the members here have asked you to cut the shit. Enough, i have to babysit my own forum. Not doing it here too. 

Perhaps it's time to add one of the fine folks here as a moderator. We had one before, why not again?

I'm starting to hate this cold and may join you in Arizona.

Come on out. Live where it's warm, and when you need a winter/snow fix, Flagstaff is just 2 hours away.

Ethical question...

Is it wrong for me to wish for snow upon snow and a record breaking winter in the hope that my wife gives up and joins me in Arizona?
