Voyager

The main problem in the trucking industry is the same one the general public has nowadays. A true lack of common sense. Add to that the amount of inexperienced drivers due to the mega carriers (Swift, Warner, etc) that are nothing more than CDL mills churning out drivers every three weeks, and it's a recipe for disaster.

SiriusXM and streaming audio, plus Bluetooth phone converastions.

My CB is on all the time, but no, most truckers do not use them much anymore. I try to give road reports, or let someone know they have an equipment problem, and all I get is silence.

A different pic of the pile up. I saw a video on FB that was horrifying...

It's up on the hill by the Minersville exit (mm116).

This is what I encountered leaving Tower City for Sunbury this morning...

29 already here...

This is ridiculous cold...

We didn't plant anything, but our perennials (tulips and hyacinths) are about 4-6 inches out of the ground. I wonder if they'll recover from this or if they'll be toast this year...

My temps the next couple days... 16/28/16/39

My Monday morning low is forcasted to be 16 degrees. While not in flower yet, our tulips and hyacinths are out of the ground about 3-5 inches. It will be windy so there's not much chance for frost, which is bad for tender plants, but the actual freeze is still there. Might try my inverted bucket trick, and hope the plants generate enough of their own "heat" to keep it survivable.

Saw this on FB and had to share...

It should. My tulips last year survived a couple nights in the teens. They hadn't flowered yet, though.

That'll work, too, as long as it's not too heavy. Don't want to squash them.

If they're small enough, put 5 gallon buckets upside down over them overnight. It might be JUST enough to save them.

My Monday... Sunday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 18. Monday Mostly sunny, with a high near 34.

You said everything I wanted to say last night, but decided not to. I'm glad you posted this because I feel the exact same way. I, as I'm sure others are as well, are glad your here as well.

Meh, I'm not worried about it.

Reading all of the posts about the off topic side of the board was quite entertaining, and what you all have said is pretty much spot on. They are some of the most vile examples of human beings I've ever observed, and yet, somehow, they see themselves as saviors of the world. And one person in particular who is the most vile one of all, who, after dishing out so much hatred and disdain of anyone who disagrees with her, loves to play the victim (insert racist, sexist) card whenever someone gives back what is dished out. It's an incredible thing to watch sometimes...

See fellas, I like when my truck is nice and clean. I spent two hours yesterday washing it.

Ended up with 0.75" out of it.

The storm here was/is more of a rainer here than anything else. Not much wind, no hail, and rumbles of thunder and one close in strike. A good storm, but not severe in my backyard. Rainfall of 0.56" but tapering off some, now. Was over 2" per hour rate at one point, though.

So will we be.....Thunderstruck???

Alright. Voyager out. I just can't do this anymore...

I wouldn't say awesome but it sure is stinking... April snow...blech.
