guitar73 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 we have about 1/4" in the back yard.....still snowing pretty hard Quote
snorovr Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Things are getting pretty sickbird up here in the Wind Gap; absolutely nuking out there! I'm lining up to drop in on this fresh 'Snowslider' I found. Hoping to wind up at Grumpys BBQ in an hour or so. TR forthcoming... Quote
toast21602 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 flakes are much lighter as the temps are dropping. just dug out my old boots in case something goes down this evening. Quote
moe ghoul Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Keep the updates coming for Mt. Pokey area. Planning a dawn patrol if there's enough snowfall. Plan B would be Platts, sounds like they're going to spin lifts tomorrow. Edited October 29, 2011 by moeghoul Quote
guitar73 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 our power has been flickering on & off....lovely Quote
JFskiDan Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 1 pm update. Beer can measuring device is almost covered. hopefully the power doesnt go out, but trees are starting to bend a little. venturing out for a sandwich. 1 Quote
guitar73 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 ....and we lost power. grrreeeeaat.... Quote
PASKIINGSUCKS Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 ....and we lost power. grrreeeeaat.... I lost it at noon just down the road from bear creek. On my way into work I had to turn around as a 60 foot or so thick tree fell on the lines and completely blocked the road. Also saw a limb take out a power line as I was driving, just following far behind some guy taking it easy when I see a bright blue flash in the woods up ahead. I thought it was a cop or something but no it was just electrical flash lighting up the pretty white woods. haha good times. All I know is I'm gonna be pissed if I don't have the power back by 7 for the Flyers haha. Oh and for a snow update, I'm just south of allentown like right down the road from BC. Woke up to snow already covering the ground around 9am, been puking hard since(the snow, not me)and I'd guess I have at least 3 inches in the backyard already probably more. Quote

PASKIINGSUCKS Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 That is one thich ass tree. ha ha ha it was tall not 60 foot thick, it was probably a 3 foot diameter though where it was over the road. Stretched the lines so much it splintered a telephone pole about 50 yards down the road. I thought it was a tree that was bent but as I looked up I realised it was a utility pole. yikes. get out there and kick some ass met ed, I need me some flyers hockey tonight. Quote
snorovr Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Just drove from Wind Gap up to Stroudsburg and back on 33. Between 33 and 611 probably a dozen cars smashed up, trees down all over the place, people doing stupid stuff, etc... Solid accident just north of Wind Gap had six cars into the guard rail and each other, another on 611 where a Blazer almost went through an AllState office after taking the front end off of a Lexus SUV.

JFskiDan Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 talking to PC who is on the turnpike dodging fallen trees. roads mighty slick too. Quote
snorovr Posted October 29, 2011 Report Posted October 29, 2011 Argh that sucks! Some people just came over to where I'm hanging out and said they had to get creative in order to get here because there are a lot of closures due to downed trees. We have a mini-park built on the hill in the backyark and there are a bunch of up and comers out there shredding. There is a trash can bonk, a jump, a rail, and some kind of sliding feature that is a spin-to-win highlight reel producer. Thinking about doing a 'sponsor me' contest in a few minutes. Winner gets a sharpie marker... Quote
