Enough With The Nor'easters!

March 19, 2018, 02:16 PM

We are supposed to get whacked good with Nor'easter #4 this Wednesday and now I hear talk of a FIFTH one early next week.

Could Spring hurry the hell up and arrive?

I just saw a pic of myself and wife at Philadelphia Art Museum steps 5 years ago on St Patrick's Day. We are in t-shirts and people in background in shorts. This past St Paddy's Day was MAYBE 30 degrees as the high.

Sick of this goddamn weird, cold winter already!

Had maybe 3" of snow so far this Winter, same as last year. A lot of rain though. They are calling for another little spritz of snow tomorrow evening.

I’ll trade you your Nor’easter for TN/Alabama tornados.

Y'all could escape all of this by coming to sunny AZ, that is if you don't mind scorpions, rattlesnakes, spines on every plant, and our wonderfully temperate summers. As a plus, you wouldn't have to shovel any more snow, and 8 months of the year the climate is wonderful

It has started here, schools are already closed for Wednesday. I'm a little nervous, my son went to a job fair about 25 miles away. I had him take my truck with 4X4. I didn't think it would get so bad so quick. Snow, sleet, and hail. Very wet and heavy. Windy!

I started another thread some weeks back.

I am just tired of winter, and haven't had the extreme weather this thread talks about.

Damp, cold, cloudy days. GO AWAY!

I flew into Newark this morning for a meetings today and tomorrow and planned to fly out tomorrow night. The meeting organizer messed up and the meetings are actually tomrrow and Thursday and didn’t communicate it and now has stated that he’s not coming in and will telecommute.

Now that most all the flights out of Newark are cancelled tomorrow, I’m not fighting for a seat on Thursday and headed back home tonight.

I'm driving to Pittsburgh Thursday. I'm hoping the roads have been cleaned up by midday.

Look at the bright side, it may cut down on homeless numbers. After seeing the weather reports they will head to San Diego.

I love when people use it as an excuse not to come to work.

I had two call-offs yesterday because roads "are impassable."

I set up my phone on my dash and recorded me driving my Camaro up and down the main road and a few side roads and sent it in a group text to the entire second shift. Suddenly they all made it in.

Even today I've had a guy say roads are impassable and that he would get a $600.00 fine if he was caught on the road.

Again, in my camaro, driving slowly/carefully, no issues.

Can't make this stuff up.

So far up here there hasn't been anything. It was originally supposed to start at noon, now it's looking more like around 9-10pm. And we're down from 6-10" to 1-3".

A lot of flights in/out of Philadelphia for Thursday have already been cancelled. I have a family member who was scheduled out of there. He had to move his flight to late Friday - it was the earliest flight he could get.

It rained up till 4:00pm today then turned to heavy snow. We have 6" and it is snowing pretty heavy. We received a call from our township warning us about flooding from the bay and to move our vehicles to higher ground.

I agree. When I worked for the state (PA), at just the HINT of snow on the weather channel, we would get call off's from people who lived several miles from the institution. Some who had four-wheel drive vehicles.

The guys from the coal region, Wilkes-Barre, where good jobs were hard to find, who car pooled 85 miles to get to work at the Institution, and were always on time mind you.....never called off work due to snow.
