Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

We ended up with about 26” is my guess. Took me about 40 minutes to shovel my car out..the thick shit the plow left behind my car was tough the rest not so bad.  I’m not going anywhere today because I don’t want somebody taking my spot..gonna walk to the store later. Time to have a breakfast/lunch of champions from the vending machine.  Cheese balls might come in handy later.

What year was it that we had 3-4 back to back to back big snowstorms? 2014? 

May have been 2010-11 winter. I remember snowbanks higher than my car that year.

That's a grate breakfast. My coworker used to eat chocolate bars and pretzels from the vending machine for dinner because he didnt feel like going out.

Been there done that. I was just pissed they are out of Red Bull. All good I’ll walk to CVS later to get supper. Maybe those frozen White Castle sliders or a lean cuisine. Don’t worry tomorrow I’ll be back at wegmans paying $11 for 6 bites of raw fish.

FYI..from 1983-1996 our biggest snowstorm was the blizzard of 93 with 18”

Probably 5” total at my house.  Didn’t do any snow removal yet and unfortunately I drove up and down my driveway a few times and a bunch of kids were running all over the driveway so it’s pretty packed down.  Gonna be a bear to clear off with my shitty snowblower.  Can’t wait to move into a townhome when my kids are grown.  

5” oh that’s cute lol

its slightly uphill on the way towards the house where it's stuck. gravity helped me on the way out i guess, plus there was likely less snow.

[toast21602]

Still snowing here. It has been snowing for over 48 hours now. Probably another inch in the last two hours.

Does anyone know an NOAA or official site with snow totals?

Good looks.

ended up with a foot at my house and 8 inches at work.  Not seeing anyone in philly metro under 6 inches.  I can live with those totals

Shoveling out the end of the driveway was a pain...about a 40" drift.  Probably around 2 feet everywhere else

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Nice little walk to cvs.

another storm Sunday/Monday would be cool, as long as it doesn't stop me from hitting Greek Peak/Elk next Sunday/Monday.  Another 2' of snow storm and I'd cancel though

How much was that? About 12 bucks? Should have gotten a pizza at Blue.

At this time it’s looking like the Lehigh valley and the southern pocono would receive a lot more snow than GP and Elk but far off.

An irrelevant amount of money($5-6) and the local pizza places are definitely closed and I’m sure the pizza stand at Blue is closed and I’m not there.  If you’re curious I’m having cambells creamy chicken and dumpling soup now and chips and salsa...

Yeah I'll wait until Friday to figure out what to do about going.  It'd be terrible if I got snowed in up there and couldn't go to work Tuesday (not really)

Just stopped snowing here. ~50 hours of pretty constant snow is an incredible thing to see in PA. Best thing to happen since this pandemic started. Glad many of us have had the ability to enjoy it.

This. I wasn’t out skiing nor did I really get to enjoy the snow, but it was nice to feel like life was back to “normal” for once and to actually be stoked on something for a change. Loved seeing everyone’s snow pictures on Instagram, fb, wherever else. It seemed like for 2 days nothing else in the world mattered to anyone except the snow. It was wonderful.
