Greetings from west central PA... · 10:21 PM

Took a few quickie shots outside of work today for all you folks who don't get any snow.

Tom Gotzy · 02-14-2015, 10:31 PM

Yup... that's how it looks here in Berks County!

How do all you folk keep getting these Summer in Scotland shots without actually coming here?

Kriss · 02-15-2015, 06:45 AM

There's always snow in Ebensburg! Being from Armstrong County, I drive through your little hamlet from my current home in central PA every time I visit the folks. We haven't been getting snow this year as everyone that way has, and my husband's ready for a trip over there because he loves his snow. I presume the lake's frozen over and the ice fishing cabins are out?

I've never seen anyone use an ice fishing shanty in this area... i think they're prohibited at glendale lake. not sure about beautiful puddle roweeda or yellowcreek. We ended up getting over 5 inches last night, and most of the night was white-out conditions similar to the photos. Pretty sure that blue knob is probably getting a lot of skiers this year, not so much today with the negative temp's though.

We do get snow like that in pix. However our snow gets here , usually early November...sometimes late October and does not melt next day...or next week. What we get, for the most part...stays till March, occasionally April. It's also very cold....long (weeks sometimes) periods of -20 to -30 C. They're long, cold, snowy Canadian Prairie winters.

Auzzie-Phoenix · 02-15-2015, 08:53 PM

Hmm... here's an idea... we should just load freight trains full of all of our unwanted snow and ship it to california. By the time it makes it there it'll be water.

it's over 40 degrees here at the moment--Celsius, that is...

It's going to be close to -40 Celsius here in upstate NY once you factor in the wind.

I lived in Williamsport, PA during the blizzard of '93. Shut down the city for a week. Back in Syracuse it was just another March day...they didn't even close the airport.

I was thinking on Lake Rowena (which is more pond-size, I agree). I could be "misremembering." Haha. I wandered out once with my nephew to watch them fish, and it was a bit surreal considering it was PA and not Michigan or Minnesota. I may have my own snow pics tomorrow; we may get hit tonight. Crossing my fingers!
