I don't know. I've been here so long (Wright Weather, Eastern, and now American) that I don't remember who my fellow warmanistas are/were.
-
19.4 here.
-
I'm not gonna tell you which song I like better...lol
-
I don't think the average "Joe or Jane" Morning Call reader cares THAT MUCH to be clicking on NWS links for weather info.
-
Almost 300 hours out. Book it...
-
I somehow managed to break the freezing mark. I topped out at 34.5 after a low of 10.9
-
Now that's one even I can root for! It just needs to jackpot an area about 100 miles each side of I-81 instead of the damn I-95 corridor again.
-
Seeing your temp observation made me think. I need a two degree low this week. That way I can report it as being 2F(n) cold...
-
Wonder if they go below zero next week...
-
Down to 10.9 here.
-
Holy moley!!! As for the tankers, yes, I've seen the Papetti trucks around. I also knew Michael Foods was near there. Indian River Transport goes in there I guess from time to time.
-
Coldest morning of the winter (so far) here today. Currently 12 degrees outside.
-
Bottled water is the "in thing" I suppose. Gives me a paycheck though.
-
Water is big business. We pull anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 gallons per day out of some of the springs (wells)...
-
Oh don't get me started on hoses...lol. Let's just say the one in Hazleton is hard all winter long... Seriously though, that one is a real PITA, and is the one location I hate loading out of because the hose is stored outside, so it freezes, and it's like trying to bend a steel pipe when hooking it up to the trailer.
-
If it's down near zero, all it takes is an hour for the valve to freeze up. Then we need to heat it with a torch just to open it. Even the outlet pipe cap will be frozen on. At 20 degrees or less, we need to either hit it with a mallet or dead blow hammer, or hit it with the torch as well. If the vent freezes up, and we don't know it, bye bye trailer as it will implode when unloading. Plain and simple, in the summer, water hauling is a great gig. In the winter it kind of sucks...
-
Yes, I had one before. That one recorded a -12 years ago. Don't think it'll be that cold next week, but with a forecast of +3, who knows. it could dip below zero here.
-
This is unacceptable...
-
I was just going to post that I don't think I've ever seen a model map of freezing rain accretion actually verify. It's always much less, at least in my backyard.
-
No. I got pulled off that run and am delivering by Lehigh Valley Intl Airport. That's just south of Tamaqua.
-
Snow loading...
-
Change of plans. No going through Pillow to Sunbury. Boss called me as I got to Tamaqua and told me to turn around and do Allentown loads instead.
-
Eyeballing about 2 inches here since I can't find my tape measure...
-
As I said, instant cave on the roads... As for those NAM totals...right where I run. I texted my boss and told him probably only two loads instead of three due to road conditions. I didn't get a message back, so I guess he wasn't pleased.
-
Pixie dust, but steady. Everything is "airbrushed" with white.
