Cold too. Near record lows Wednesday morning. Omega pattern suggests a storm every couple of days.

Well I went out and cleared the snow from my driveway and just after I put the blower away and came in to warm up, you guessed it, they came along and plowed the street. I had to go back out, fire up the blower and clear the end of the driveway again.
I’m convinced snow removal people do that on purpose.

I won't say where but, I was between plowing jobs and some guy (who I don't particularly care for) was throwing his snow into the street. I couldn't help it. I dropped my plow at about 30 mph and gave him and his walk a good coating. I know, I'll probably go to Hell for stuff like this but, sometimes the devil just wins.

While plowing one of my commercial accounts, the people were leaving from the night shift. They cleaned their cars off and were letting them warm up. I plowed open the driveway of the lot and was just turning to plow behind the row of cars. This woman was impatient and backed her little BMW onto the snow. It packed enough that it brought the wheels off of the ground. She was stuck good. I sat in my truck and she got out and started yelling at me and told me that I "have to push her out." Yeah, right.
I told her I wasn't the one who got her stuck and that I wasn't about to push her off of the snow. I'm sure my knee would just love that. I watched her spinning her wheels and yelling at me from the inside of her car. I admit, it all made me laugh. I went next door and plowed that lot and came back. She was on the ground, digging the snow from under her car with all her might. She yelled at me for plowing the snow behind her car on purpose. I told her that I had not even plowed there yet. I told her that my grandfather told me years ago that patience was a virtue. I said, he also told me that I have to pay for my own stupidity when I make a mistake.
The roads were in terrible shape. What little I plowed in the lot was the only pavement she was going to see. Well, she got her car out and went up the road. When I left to plow out a friend of mine's house, guess who I found in someone's front yard about a mile away? I stopped and asked her if she was alright. She was pissed off!
Me on the other hand, had a huge smile on my face. I love the snow!

Trust me, it's true and she is probably still pissed off at me for something she did.
Take a ride down Saeger Station Road in Clinton Twp. You'll easily see where she was in the front yard.

It rained here. We can't get a good one.
Also, if you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch. ;D

Flood Watch for the next 36 hours. Haven't heard any crest predictions but it seems like we are going to hit a warm spell for the beginning of this week.
I don't think we have enough of a snow pack due to the last warm-up to have too drastic of an effect on the river.

Five of the ten biggest snowstorms of all time have occurred in early March.
Still plenty of time for a good crippler. Never give up!

I received a bunch of NWS and PEMA weather briefings yesterday. They are showing a potential of 2+ inches of rain in Lycoming County and 3-4 inches of rain in Tioga, Sullivan, and Bradford Counties.
The river is already up into the parking area of the boat ramp at Muncy. All this new precipitation coupled with a few inches at the head waters of Loyalsock and Muncy Creeks could make for one Hell of a mess. If you live near the water, keep close tabs on it.
Of course, 2+ inches of rain could be a foot or more of snow. I'd rather it all be snow!!!!!!!! Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!
