Keystone State Thread

Salted the driveway and gassed up the blower .. nothing here yet

 

Looks like around 6 o’clock this evening here

 

That’s one ugly dress

 

How much ya getting?

 

4-8” heavy wet stuff
On the snow map my town is on the edge of 10-12”

 

Oh wow. Be careful shoveling or driving.

 

Thanks ,This old guy don’t shovel .I walk behind the snowblower.
My son is around and he does the shoveling.
I also won’t need to drive anywhere since I’m retired.

 

I watched a You Tube weather guy a few minutes ago. If he is right, most of the state is in for a doozy and the coldest Christmas in decades. Surprisingly, has only about 5 inches for the immediate Pittsburgh area from Thursday through Sunday, but 20+ for out your way. Temps on Christmas morn are predicted to be single digits. Ho-ho-ho.

 

I have a gravel driveway. No go on the snow blower. Shoveling is a B*@ch. Grandson helps but he grows bored quickly. The wife is a trooper though. I just shovel a path for a vehicle now. It's not worth a heart attack.

 

We had gravel for maybe 5 years - finally paved it to get away from throwing gravel with the plow blade.

 

I have neighbor's property, with their vehicles and a small shed or two near the property line, so I can't throw the gravel. This does remind me of my dearly departed neighbor, an old Vietnam vet. He would bungy cord up the discharge cover on his riding mower, then cut the grass at top speed near his driveway and where it met the road. If you were passing by, you had better move fast, cover your ass and pray because it was like being in a firefight. Those #2 pieces of gravel came with lethal force.

 

Roads are fine! If you can't tell where the road is, just drive through yards or the woods. They've got the same level of maintenance!

 

Pouring rain in my area. No snow yet.

 

And.. power out at the plant.

Someone's going to have a long night, and it's not going to be me!

 

Plants flooding… and I gotta do monthly checks. *sigh* imma be a drown rat come morning if this keeps up.

 

I feel like the storm just paused... right over top of us... we just got a flood alert.

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!! It's a Slushy Winter Wonderland up here. Temps are above freezing - we got maybe 3" of snow with rain on top of it. Forecast is for it to continue as a rain/snow mix with some freezing rain thrown in through the morning and into the afternoon.

Are we having fun, yet?

 

Currently sleeting here. One of my guys called off and one of my guys has been on the road for about 80 miles trying to find a route to the plant.

 

Morning pa

 

Good morning PA. My weather app says flurries for the next hour, but it appears all clear here.
