  1. It's interesting in the office today. The atmosphere feels like we have an impending snow storm with everyone strategizing and excited. Fortunately, we have the option to work from home (so why did our company force us all back into the office?). Hurricane season is my second favorite weather tracking season (even though I lost a home to hurricane Andrew in Homestead). And we thought winter systems were squirrelly? LOL
  2. And here I was hoping for an uncomplicated, easy to forecast win for us! LOL
  3. Good Luck! Wish you well! I have appreciated your input (and missed it). Can't wait to see what you say tonight!
  4. To shovel or not to shovel? Slop on top of snow is better than slop on shoveled surface. Will the rain wash away the snow? I guess the first challenge is to get home from work and up the hill to my neighborhood. I went out to Costco and Giant on 22 at lunch and had traction issues in my minivan as it is a mess out there.
  5. It's the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year........
  6. I enjoy this forum because for the most part there is a level of civility, unlike the MA/NY/PHILI forums. Some long time posters know each other well enough that they can laughingly take little pokes at each other and can take the ribbing. Some of us come here because we are snow lovers. We always want to be in the jackpot, always want to believe things will come together for our area, love to break record highs/lows/amounts. We look at snow and the possibility of snow with the enthusiasm of a child hoping for a day off of school. Some of us are proudly weenies. Today, maybe because we are facing the reality of the end of our snow season, the civility is missing. Can't we all play nicely?
  7. Thank you! I figured that they were better prepared to handle it than here in Harrisburg. Our state offices closed last Wednesday for the storm and all we got was rain. LOL!! Four inches around here and everything shuts down. Our arrival time is 11am but I am planning on heading in 7am or so. We are trying to get the scans moved to before the surgery in the morning anyway. I will enjoy sitting in the hospital watching the snow come down!
  8. I am a Central PA weather nutt looking for some advice from Bostonians here. We are driving up to Boston this afternoon for my daughter to have surgery at MGH on Tuesday and scans and infusions on Wednesday. Guess I am finally going to get to see my "big one" this winter, lol. I figure if I can get to MGH Tuesday morning it can dump all day and even if we get stuck there overnight we will be able to get everything done. My first question to the group is how well does the DOT keep the roads open during a storm? Do the T's usually run through storms? I prefer to drive in since my daughter will be recovering from anesthesia on the way home Tuesday but the Orient Heights station is not that far from the Hilton Garden Inn and we could do that in a pinch. Suggestions? Thank you my fellow weather warriors for your help!
