What normal car runs on diesel? And once the battery on electric car hits the fan it cost thousands to replace plus the cost of recharging...no thanks.

Okay then pay out the butt for gas... No need to be a snotty brat about it.

Gas up to $3.20 here. Sick of this, it's taking a fortune to fill my tank every week.

In other news, looking forward to the PGA Championship this week, my pick is Rory McIlroy after his great win at the Wells Fargo two weeks ago.

If you hate price spikes in gas go to an diesel or better an electric vehicle.... both diesel and especially electricity have more stable and regulated pricing. ...Go Rory!

This is probably the nicest it will look this year, but that's what I'm talkin about:

Holy smokes how much do you charge!?

Sorry that happened to your mom And her date and I'm glad both are ok. Sadly these types of crime are on the rise across the region. Who would of guessed that defunding the police would have these kind of consequences but I digress... 

Indeed that's a very scary style incident. Fortunately in Pottstown the criminals seem to resort to more traditional patterns so far.

The defund the police thing started back even before some of this social justice stuff started really getting kicked up. So becareful not to squarely place blame just on that (which is not an accusation). I'm really against centralizing the police force as many Pennsylvania townships are doing. As you saw first hand response times are not good when that is done.  Oley township is now central berks police department with a few other townships. I would like to see more focus put on educating new officers in investigative work and civics as opposed to having all of these military like vehicles which generally serve only a limited role. I think requiring police to work in pairs is a good thing to improve quality and career satisfaction for officers. Sometimes using time proven methods is the best way. I dont see why this all has to be so complicated but I guess people just think they can save a dime.

Glad yous all are okay.

Arrives on the 17th so SPD1

I remember a nice st patricks day ... in 2007? that was a nice 6-8" hit of wintery mix. it was the first time I skied in fresh snow.

Daffodils are starting to poke up through the ground/snow, pansies are out for sale at the green houses in Amish country! Rare Snow Rollers reported by WFMZ: https://www.wfmz.com/news/feature-belt/snow-rolls-spotted-in-the-lehigh-valley-berks-county/article_ef6cb8d8-7988-11eb-bf00-2b72931471e5.html

For those  unfamiliar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_roller

I had to go into work really early. According to the car thermometer at 4:30am it was 41F in North Coventry I got to Coventryville it was 26F, East Earl it was 36F at 5:25am. Strange fluctuations.

Most of us here weren't surprised....except.for the couple sticklers that wanted to force winter to end.

Not sure how you can rage quit winter... its not even March yet! 

This one is probably the most difficult forecast of the year. Modeling has this storm to spread out. If anyone is to cash in the gradiet will need to be tighter. Leave it to Fox 29 to pull the rabbit out of the hat to make up for the misses this season.

No I thought Wentz was done here. Part of that could have been the moves Roseman made, but Wentz wasn’t blameless. I don’t think we should give up on Hart yet.

Carson had 4 years to make his case. He's bad news Bears.

I'm 25, born in March 95.  I played for the Valley Forge Minutemen, and West Chester Quakers growing up.  My dad was my assistant coach my whole life but unfortunately he passed away from a heart attack on the ice at Oaks in 2012.  He was only 46, bad genes suck!

My cousins son is a minuteman! 

I've always have been a golf fan, Justin Rose and Sean O'hair are some of the hometown favorites around here. Do we have any other golfers on here?

I've always like Philly sports, I'm probably most partial to the Eagles, The Phillies are my NL team and I dont follow the NBA or Hockey very much. 

Good .2" of icey/sleety crust here in North Coventry this morning... late to work.

The fact the euro is the southern outlier and given its less than stellar track record AND with the NAM being consistent with the sleet/ice look, we shouldn't write the NAM off nor the warmer solutions. It certainly has some merit in that solution.

Can I have that in writing?... oh wait.

my feelings as well.  I am having real good laughs on how panicking is setting in for some of the youngsters. This is a run of the mill overrunning snowstorm event and who ever gets dry slotted also gets the majority of the snizzle.  Likely to see heavy banding set up before noon on Thursday with intermittent periods of  snizzle adjacent to where downsloping is occurring near the heavier bands. 

In my limited experience as a youngster I whole heartedly concur. The NAM tends to score well with these over running events!

You cant just cherry pick the snowmaps with the hottest pinks to fit an agenda. Like Wentz said, we have time...30 hours....but this didn't just tick the wrong way, we saw some large jumps at 0z so far headed the wrong direction. Less juice,  less waa, coastal destroys thermals.

We must be looking at something different. All the 0z runs so far have been colder. All still depict a general 4-8” snowfall over most of the region.  In fact the 0z Nam was its coldest run yet... 

Just now, RedSky said:

My 0z take is Ralph is go MECS or go home hehe

Weenie jump in our hour of triumph? Dare, say are the words of a man sick of snow!

Is this the map? Looks like more of a Virginia feature, which they don't really need since they are still recovering from ice this past weekend:

 

Sorry Folks, I was away at a meeting. Thats the one I am refering too Kamu. I should have copied it in. 

DT has a map out.... first one of his this season that I think will verify. He Thinks the ice storm risk is significant. Makes sense the last interior ice storm hit almost this time of year was that 13-14?

DT just asked for a divorce from the Euro and UKMET... 

"December to remember" or "February to remember where 'ye!...."

It is a flat ridge, but its there. It was supposed to be raging with the Nina. But we luckily have had the -NAM state working for us to counter it. If the ridge was non-existent we would be congratulating NC/SC. But as we've seen countless times recently, there is a battle going on between the -NAO and that SER reflection. And subsequently every system has come N. I personally don't buy the squashed look on the Euro. Not suggesting every wave comes N and flush hits us....but I am anxious to see the battle that ensues in the atmosphere over the next 10 days between those features I mentioned. 

 

This  -NAO and that SER reflection is a bit like standing on one foot. Not super stable but it can still stay like that for awhile np at least until something pushes it over. The forecast looks snowy. I wonder why the Euro is having problems with this.

Big old fat Ole flakes here in chester County pottstown. Perhaps the biggest of the season. Rebecca's northeast weather has the upside covered for this storm

Everything covered im glad church was canceled!
