That sucks. Hope your day gets better. At least I didn't steal your thunder in the low temp. department. Congrats on your low!

Looks like 3.6 is the low, unless it drops a little more till sunrise.

Down to 9 here. That snow cover is helping sink the temperature.

At least none of us has to travel out west to find Voyager He's in our area now if you's decide to hold a tribunal in Tamaqua for a under preforming winter.

Low was 13

I hope WE ARE... doesn't turn into we were today.

Have about 2 inches here on non paved surfaces. And temp is down to 31 3. Starting to lay on non treated roads

yes.

Last year the breaker was shorting the locals here to a ton when they came to the breaker. But when those big trucks came in to get coal, there was no limit for them! So I imagine there was a contract.

Surprising! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coal-use-all-time-high-2024-hottest-year-ever/

We went by a port near Va. beach this summer on our way down to Nags Head and the piles of coal sitting there was unbelievable.

In the late spring to early fall I use 17lbs. a day to heat just my hot water at a temp of 150. Now in December i'm averaging about 59.375lbs. a day, to heat hot water to a temp of 185 and heat the house with cast-iron baseboard fixtures.

I get mine for $200.00 a ton but have to pay my inlaw for delivery. I get 4 tons at a time. Last year coal was scarse at times. They had big trucks come in an get the coal from the breaker and it taken to ports to be shipped to China for $500.00 a ton.

To give an idea on how cold this December is as compared to last December 2023. I have a coal furnace This December my coal usage has increased 8.43%. Which translates to an extra 9.21 lbs. a day.

Mine is 4 on Monday morning.
