Central PA snow in November



Mid November snow storm in Central PA and I don't have my 55 in storage yet. I was able move it off the street. My next door neighbor let me park it in their parking space behind their house. We got about 8.5" in town. Talked to someone in the diner this morning and they said they got 10" outside of town at a higher elevation.

I just was on route 80 on my way to State College, wife is in Target now and I'm in the car, and it was clear and dry. I'm not sure what Lebanon County got. It is 36 now and should be 42° tomorrow. So I'm sure even the back roads down there will be fine. I hope the 56 is parked at a convenient spot for you.

My trailer has a winch and he said he has a skid steer so loading should go smoothly

Lucky you. I have a 20 X 28 2 story detached garage, with only space for one small truck. That's where my 54 is.

You got that right!......... roads where horrible here as well....... I was actually stuck at the bottom of a big hill...nobody on either side could get up it...... the main culprit.....was a Jeep Wrangler......I was amazed.....young guy driving I explained to him 3 times to take the traction assist off....so he could get some wheel spin and a little forward motion....... he never did understand what I was trying to tel him!......... 2016 f-150 4 wheel drive climbed up with minimal effort!...... ok maybe I'm a little biased to my fords....

he told me they put that in there because they were tired of people asking if it was for sale. After the 54 grill was put on no one stopped. he had to almost give it away to me
