Voyager Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 So what time would the onset of precipitation be in the Hazleton/Wilkes Barre area be? I'm currently stuck, out of hours, in Bloomsbury NJ and have get this tractor trailer back to the terminal in Pittston tomorrow morning. I can't leave until 8:30 AM.

Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 FWIW, the RUC is trending weaker and further west with the low, but further east with the moisture as a result. Latest two RUC runs have trended back the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 From new CTP disco UNDOUBTEDLY...THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FROM THIS STORM WILL COMEIN THE FORM OF WIDESPREAD DOWNED TREES AND POWER OUTAGES FROM THEHEAVY WEIGHT OF THE SNOW ON THE STILL FOLIAGE LADEN TREES. ITSPOSSIBLE THAT POWER LOSSES COULD LAST FOR UP TO SEVERAL DAYS FROMEXTENSIVE DOWNED TREES/UTILITY LINES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Significant snow up there probably won't start until 8AM at earliest. Thanks. I wanted to be up and on the road by 5:00 AM, but the way my day went today it's not going to happen. Another truck backed into mine at the truckstop so I had to be on duty in the logbook while I took care of the reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another truck backed into mine at the truckstop so I had to be on duty in the logbook while I took care of the reports. Taking a second look, it's possible they don't really get much snow until noon or later up there, actually. So I think you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Off topic, but what do you do during downtime? You have a TV in the truck? I've never seen inside one. Also do you get tired of eating fast food? Safe travels tomooeuw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallow Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 A little light drizzle here in State College. Temperature is falling pretty quickly though now, about 1F per half hour or so. EDIT: At least the temp was falling. It has ceased for now, probably just briefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NittanyWx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I really wish I was in Happy Valley this weekend...always wanted to see Penn State win in a natural whiteout. Side note...has Beaver Stadium ever lost power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Very concerning cutback of precip on the GFS...means less of a chance for us to get into good snows here as it will take away from cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Exactly...while people are looking at the .5 to .7 it prints out...don't forget that means much slower rates. Given the factors of daylight and borderline/above 32 degree 2m temps...could be a prolonged white rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 00z GFS east again. Oh well... still gonna be fun tomorrow. I smell some convective feedback on that run. Has more QPF from FL to way out in the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is snowing already down these parts and the precip is very light compared to what we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itunis Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 No reason to freak out yet. Precip is arriving, or will be shortly. There are models with better resolution and optimized for short range forecasts like the RUC we should be looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well..we're still a month away from winter. 0.7" of precip (~7" of snow) is advisory amounts? O... kay. EDIT: Ya, no, precip rates are still 1" per hour for several hours. It's not going to be "white rain", sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NortheastPAWx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It is going to lay. If it lays in W-B I'll personally come to your house and shake your hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
