2007. We had just moved here a few months before and that was our first winter storm. What an experience and life-lesson learned that was. Our car got stuck in our alley for 2 days (we back into our garage and it got stuck into ginormous ice ruts)
I work from home Mondays so haven't even walked outside but the trash guys were slipping and sliding this morning.
Thursday looks interesting. Been a while since we had an ice event of .25".
Irving, which provides heating oil and propane to nearly the entire mid-Atlantic and NE tonight announced an immediate 10% price increase for all US customers.
Since we now have a trade war - buckle up.
PA exported $14.3 billion in goods to Canada, roughly 27% of total exports.
We import around $3 billion from them.
The 25% tariff will null this starting Tuesday. It will especially hit oil/gas and construction materials
And most all our fruit and veggies come from Mexico, so big hikes there too.
No one wins trade wars, consumers just pay higher prices. There is no benefit.
I looked at OT a few years and had to set my iPad on fire, it was so toxic.
I used to post in the Red Sox thread in the sports board but a few NYY trolls ruined that many years ago too.
Sad a smart, good person gets treated so poorly.
Gardner!s Mattress (Jesus lord mattresses are expensive now!), Lancaster Cupcake, drinks at Our Town with our friend (they own it), got the wife a new iPad at the Apple Store, early dinner at Passerine.
The super low ceiling leads to me think of disorientation. It was a complete nose dive - hunch is they thought they weee stalling. The Learjet crash at TEB a few years ago had that iirc.
Edit: also I’m jealous. In my next life I want a career in aviation. I have ~15 hours in a Cessna lol
25% tariffs hit tomorrow. Oil costs gonna skyrocket since a lot comes from Canada. Along with fruit and veggies (Mexico supplied like 65% of those).
Inflation was not great before - scary what’s about to happen.
