What a morning, and I'm still sitting in the Jeep waiting to get going. This was my post on Facebook a while ago...
Folks in the Skook, be VERY careful this morning on the roads. 309 south of Leibys is an icy mess, and there's an accident at the 443 Lehighton cutoff. There's also a car down an embankment on 895 going to Andreas per my co-worker. I'm sitting it out with about a dozen other cars and trucks by Central Spring right now after fishtailing it all over the place in the Jeep.
Not doubting you, but what keeps the temp from dropping? It's clear out, and as far as I can tell, no WAA. Tomorrow's high is supposed to be equal to today's 40 I had.
I do believe CTP is going to bust badly with my overnight low tonight. This is what they are forecasting for my backyard...
And this is where I'm at as of 7:45pm...
24.8F
It looks my first night of lows in the teens likely. Current temp is 26 with a forecast low of 17. I suppose I'll be propane torching the trailer valve and inlet tomorrow morning.
I really should move to a different region/climate, but in order to do that, I would have to leave/divorce the wife. She won't ever move out of the region. That said, you are correct about us being a pleasant, friendly group. They all like (or at least tolerate ) me and my warmanista ways.
I used to do sports photos for the Times News down here in Lehighton, and I will tell that, no joke, I froze more often shooting spring high school baseball and softball games than I did shooting football in the fall.
Is it for our backyard only or for regional locations?
If it's just for our own backyard location, after a quick peruse of the models and CTP, I'm going to say 45 for the high, partly to mostly cloudy, with a shower or two possible, but mainly dry.
No I didn't. Not yet anyway. Just got done helping make hot bacon potato salad for the wife's family Christmas party. I'll have to look things over later. Where do I enter it? Just in a regular post?
I don't want to ever wear a coat again. I love the freedom of being able to go outside in shorts and a t-shirt. I actually and literally cringe when I hear someone say to "bundle up". I hate having to layer up in a half a load of laundry each day just to go to work...
lol...I know.
This year, with everything going on, I'm just doubly not in the mood for digging out parking spaces, dealing with salt encrusted vehicles, worrying about jackknifing on the back roads from Tower to Sunbury, etc.
