Same here. Yesterday was warmer as I was 53 yesterday and 50 today. Even now, I'm already down to 32.
-
Hit 57 here at 8pm, but now down to 47. Had crazy winds (got blown all around in the Jeep) driving home from Allentown tonight, but here at the house, so far only a measly 11.4 mph peak gust.
-
Dead calm here with 55 degrees. I saw a video of I-81 north of Tremont on thr ridge, and the fog was really bad. Visibility appeared to be about 50 ft.
-
Reminds me of old WW2 images from Europe after the bombing raids.
-
I just looked at yesterday's high for Tamaqua, and somehow managed to top 50 degrees (50.5).
-
Meanwhile, back in 2015... I shot this pic 6 years ago today just before I mowed the grass...lol
-
Absolutely jealous...lol
-
This is why I decided to wash the big truck today. What a waste of ****ing time...
-
Normally I get it, but this one went "whoosh". I'm not sure I follow...
-
What's with the snow in the mountains to the west of the Susquehanna? I thought we were done. I got knocked off work after one load, so I figured I'd wash the truck and trailer. Took me three hours to do it. If we get a coating and the roads get wet for the night shift guy, I'm going to be PISSED...
-
No driving concerns today. I got my first load and got down to the plant in Allentown, and the silos are full...again. If I'm lucky, I "might" get a second load in. I'm scheduled for three.
-
I saw two flakes in the streetlight this morning when I left for work and that was it. Penndot brined the shit out of 309 from Tamaqua to Hazleton overnight. Not sure what they were thinking.
-
And the jokes on me. Thought I was going to get done early and be able to wash the truck, but no... The silos are full and I'm 4th truck back to unload. Now I won't get back until after dark.
-
I'm not fooled by you guys. We all know if you wash a vehicle in the summertime, it rains. You all are hoping I tempt the snow gods...
-
So here's the $64 question. Do I wash my big truck this afternoon, or am I wasting my time?
-
I mowed mine twice in December that year including Christmas Eve. I didn't wear shorts, though...lol
-
Not a good night for a grocery store fire. If anyone is familiar with Hazleton, it gets extremely windy up there due to the elevation. Anyway, the Weis Markets store on PA93 in West Hazleton went up about a half hour ago. From video I saw, it didn't look good, and the fire was being blown toward the adjoining PetSmart store.
-
I'll admit that it's probably too low and the surrounding houses block and alter the wind flow. Almost all stations around me have measured 30+ mph gusts this evening. If I were to mount it high enough to open it up, it would be almost 30 ft off the ground. Then my temperature would probably be off.
-
You measure 46 mph gusts. Our friend in Lehighton measured 42 mph. And my station? The same 13.6 mph gust it almost always shows. I know it's not in the best wind location, but still... Since I installed it back in May, I have not had a peak gust over 20 mph.
-
I'll take no snow over a sloppy half inch. I can't stand all the salt and mess for something of so little consequence.
-
Is it me or do the radar returns out west appear to be drying out some? It looked more impressive a couple of hours ago.
-
Only 47.3 here. No complaints though. It felt nice without much wind.
-
At least no one accused me...yet....lol
-
If this keeps up, I'll be able to wash the big truck on Monday night and not have to worry about it getting dirty again on Wednesday.
-
I agree. If I were still running hot mix asphalt in a tri-axle dump truck, I'd probably get laid off for the winter months, and that would not break my heart one bit...
