Of course I missed it because I had to work, but the Reading and Northern's newly refurbished steam engine made a trip to Tamaqua as part of the testing and break in process. Here's a pic my daughter got of it.
Oh, and we got 1.39" today and 2.13" since yesterday. As I type this I just heard a rumble of thunder.
For those who have Facebook and like old steam trains, the Reading and Northern excursions will feature a much larger locomotive this year! She's almost ready...

This is ridiculous. For the next week, and beyond, temps in my backyard are going to struggle to even get to 50 degrees. The more I hate on the cold, the longer it's duration.
Truthfully, I did see some snow (more like graupel) down in Hamburg and Allentown. The Allentown shower the temp was in the low 50's. It's also in the video, which is right now being uploaded to Youtube. It'll probably go public late today or tomorrow morning after it gets to HD status.
There was no snow in Pillow earlier when I went through. in fact, the sun was shining. Check my Youtube channel later this weekend where Pillow makes an appearance in today's video.
Somehow our tulips and hyacinths survived the early week polar plunge. How, I don't know. I didn't cover them and just figured what will be will be. I'll shoot a pic when I get home from work.
