As of 6am here in Bucks County, PA (about 30 miles NorthWest of Philly) its snowing to beat-the-band. (if thats possible). So far I have 11.3 inches of snow on the ground out of the 4-12 inches the NWS has for my area. Now if one would look at my site, the current conditions show Dry, Night Time. Tha has not once switched over to snow, or heavy snow at all during this storm.
And maybe another 6-10 inches of snow Tuesday Night and Wednesday.
Oh to the contrare…Last winter I purchased a super charged 32inch snowblower with a 12 hp engine. With 2 teenage sons inside watching their 52yo father snow-blow I sure as heck don’t want them feeling sorry for me!!!
As of 8:15a.m., my unofficial “snow pole” says 26" of snow. Its still snowing hard and the NWS is forecasting 5-9" today. The wife took some digital photos and I will post some images up on my site soon!
Here is one for everyone…I was woken up by the sound of “thunder” this morning!! Strange phenomenon…Local news stated that there was a “Thundersnow storm” sitting over my area… 8O :lol:
