It could have been. Those were my party years, and I didn't pay as close attention. It certainly could have been 6-8. All I know was it was the earliest major snowstorm up to that point.

The sun is breaking through our clouds as well...

I lived in Bethlehem and I thought we got about 6 from that storm.

For what rain from this storm or snow next week?

That storm, in Allentown, started out as a cold rain, then flipped to snow and we got walloped. I don't remember the total, though.

I heard this one's better...

And it's only 57 here at 10am. Tamaqua is 72.

On the Phillies, I feel the same way. No one really expected them to make the post season, especially before Girardi was fired. The fact that, even if they don't win it all, they grinded their way to a World Series appearance, makes this season a resounding success.

62 in Tamaqua and 43 here in Phoenix. Something went terribly wrong...

lol...I knew you were. That's why I love our group. We all accept each other's flaws and strengths, gripes and celebrations, and have a general respect for one another, no matter what our weather preferences, political leanings, or backgrounds. I'd gladly have dinner and a beer (or few) with each and every one of you.

Thanks for trying...lol, but I did know the rounding up (or down) of temperatures. It sucks though when a record could be broken, but isn't due to the tenths.

So officially my low was 40, but in a technical sense, we dipped into the 30s with a 39.7 low this morning.

37

42 this morning here at the Sun City abode, and since its only 4:30, it MAY dip into 30's yet. These are January temps, so it's unseasonably cold right now.

I know. I just can't escape it.

I-40 stopped dead in Flagstaff earlier today when I was up there. Fun times...not...lol

Haha...NWS Flagstaff addresses the "how much for Philly" crowd this morning...

Well, normally I'd say better you than me, but in light of tomorrow's festivities for me...I can't.

Haha...you guys are funny. Flagstaff, but I guess maybe it's the Pillow of Arizona...

Well guys...guess where my dispatcher is sending me tomorrow.

Eventually normal will prevail, and I'll be 70 when you guys are 30, so it's all good. I don't have like this cold coming though, even though it does happen from time to time. About 15 years ago it was 16 in my mom's Sun City backyard one January for a morning low. The high was only 42 that day.

If my dispatcher sends me to Flagstaff on Thursday, I'll see accumulating snow before you guys will. Wednesday Night A chance of rain showers before 8pm, then a chance of rain and snow showers between 8pm and 10pm, then snow showers likely after 10pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 24. Breezy, with a southwest wind 17 to 24 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Thursday Snow showers. High near 26. Southwest wind 13 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible. Thursday Night A 30 percent chance of snow showers before 11pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around 12. West wind 7 to 9 mph, with gusts as high as 16 mph. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Where I am there shall the cold be also...lol A few years ago when you guys flirted with 80 in February, I was shivering at a truck stop in Palm Springs.

Some cold weather records may be set here Thursday and Friday... Thursday A 40 percent chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 62. Southwest wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Thursday Night A 20 percent chance of showers before midnight. Mostly clear, with a low around 41. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light northwest in the evening. Friday Sunny, with a high near 64. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon.

lol... Actually it has to do with a big fire in Tamaqua and the risky behavior of one of the responding fire companies.
