So we went up to 71 beautiful degrees in Tamaqua today for the high.

69.8 (70) currently for the first one of the year. Feels really nice out!

I don't mind seeing severe weather. I just can't stand multiple, consecutive high wind days.

Not again...

29 for me as well this morning...

66.2 was my high today. Nearly 10 degrees above the forecasted 57.

Well, I may give up on the job. It's been the worst on-boarding I've ever gone through. If I don't go back, I'll post the laundry list of issues I've experienced.

Thanks. I've certainly gone through a lot. My wife's stroke, my mom's caregiver bailing on her, moving to Arizona to care for her, her fall and subsequent passing, stresses of selling her house and coming back to PA, the job problems, my own growing health issues, and so on. I'm wondering when (or if) things will ever change for the better.

I really wish I knew why my life turned into a total shit show, but in an ever increasing manner, every attempt at trying to make things better turns out to make things worse. I've been running on a streak of bad luck, karma, juju...or what ever else you could call it for over two years now. The latest is my new job, in which the start has been a real disaster so far...

Who's getting 70s? My NWS forecast has 60s only one day, and 50s the others.

Damn... Hate hearing this. Sending you best wishes.

Caught these really vivid sun dogs up in Wilkes-Barre earlier...

So I was taking an empty trailer into Whirlpool in Mechanicsburg and when you stop at the guard house, you have to open the trailer doors so they can make sure it's clean inside. Well the wind was so strong that I was having a hard time swinging it open. I was pushing with all my might when a big gust blew in and started pushing the door back on me. When that happens, you let it go and bail out, or you're going to end up with a broken face. So end result, the door SLAMMED shut, and at the same time my cap blew off my head. I can laugh about it now, but I was pissed at the time.

When you can barely open your truck door, this wind sucks. I've got a great story of what happened to me yesterday that I'll post later.

Ugh...really? Tonight A chance of rain between 8pm and 11pm, then a chance of snow after 11pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 29. West wind 6 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

It most certainly pleases ME...lol

Just saw that we have another wind advisory...ugh

Of course, no worries. I was actually trucking. Hazleton to Newark NJ to Reading. I had rain over to NJ, then it stopped. Then torrential downpours back across NJ to the PA state line, then it stopped. Ended up with 1.30" for the event in Tamaqua.

So I've been a bit out of the weather loop with being in orientation, but it looks like today is not an all day soaker, but more of a 6 to 8 hour event.

Tomorrow is my first solo day with the new company. As I've mentioned in the past, it always rains or snows when I start a new job.

Thank God no other model shows anything like that and CTP is partly to mostly sunny the entire weekend.

15.6 degrees this morning...

I've been busy and not online much. What did I miss today?

0.26" looks to be the event total.

We got 0.14" last night, then nothing today until just a few minutes ago, so we'll have to see what the event total is later.
