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.
Strange happenings on my way back from Sunbury this morning. All the way from Sunbury to Herndon the temp hovered between 43 to 47 degrees. Even at the 147/225 intersection by the 7-11 it was 46. Once I shot the Mandata gap through Hooflander Mountain, the temp shot up to 58 degrees so fast my mirrors fogged up.
Crazy...
I figured that fire melted some of the pavement up there. I guess the tanker truck, which I figure was ground zero for the fire, was reduced to just the frame, wheels, axles, and engine. The entire cab melted and burned up.
Latest info on the wreck. As of right now the northbound lanes are STILL closed. I'll defer to the article about fatalities and injuries, but I heard bad things. What I can say is that the road surface was damaged by the fire, and will likely need to be repaired.
