Wednesday, 12/16 It started snowing at 1230. At 2130, there’s about 6.5” of snow in the driveway. It’s 69 in the library and the sunroom heat does not seem to be running. Thursday, 12/17 At 0631, it’s 27o. The south sunroom door step is 6” as is the Laundry room step. The drift in front of the garage door is 12”. At 0720, with Buddy not having any success in the snow drifts, I started the snow blower and cut a path from the garage, across the front walk, and down to the sidewalk. I went a few yards up the street on the sidewalk before Lyd called me in. I sent a note to ExpressLawn telling them it’s OK if we don’t get plowed out today, but they arrived at 1050, and 12 minutes later; finished and gone. It looks like we got a foot!

Sunday, 12/13 1919: A Winter Storm Watch alert has been issued for Berks; Carbon; Lehigh; Monroe; Northampton; Upper Bucks; Western Chester; Western Montgomery by NWS Philadelphia - Mount Holly (New Jersey, Delaware, Southeastern Pennsylvania).... WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Heavy snow possible.

The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heavy snow could have the potential to cause power outages.. This event is rated as Moderate, and is Possible Sunday, 12/13: A storm is moving on shore today in the Pacific Northwest and northern California. It will spend the next two days crossing the U.S., not as a huge weather maker, but when it exits the East Coast, will strengthen quickly and become a nor'easter. It is still too early to say exactly who will get most of the snow, but as of now it looks to be interior Pennsylvania and New York and Connecticut. What happens to New York City, it's too early to say but there is a very good chance for significant snow. There will likely be some 1-2 feet snow totals out of this one ... just not sure where yet. Plenty of time to work on the details, but a significant storm is likely coming. |
