I hope no one chased him away from this forum.

The ground up here at my place must still be very cold. As soon as the sun was setting and temp. got down to near 32 I could feel while walking on the some what soft ground already freezing up. At least the ice in the yard is melting.

Good question, an investigation is needed.

18 this morning.

Wxrisk.com rentoSopsd6c23fghu4mgl826i2f8mugt674i2hcm11ia44tc3u3f044g1tg · IS WINTER OVER? Cannot say that for sure at this time. BUT I can say that there will be lots of readings into the 50s and 60s mainly east of the mountains next 8 days. It will also be MOSTLY dry so river and super saturated soils get to dry out!! There MIGHT be one real last winter push March 6-10.

Nws made mention of snow about in this time period.

living along the mountain with ice on the creek and still some ice on the ground and calm winds set the stage for a cold night.

12 this morning and no wind...yay!

Wind is still blowing but backed down some. Had a gust to 37 today.

That means Blizz still will be presenting model guidance on possible snow events that could effect you into April.

Daylight Saving Time 2025 begins Sunday, March 9 (in 16 days)

Just another day of wind.

That sounds good, for your heating bill

Got a dusting of snow today.

Glad I could be of service!

Since November 18, 2024 I have burned 5920lbs of coal.

Low was 11 here. NWS said I should expect around an inch today. Can't wait for those winds again...NOT!

The floor is gone at several places but some people still access the bridge despite Dauphin County spending almost $20,000 in 1992 to put up a chain link fence with barbwire at the top. But now the barbwire is rusted through and breaking up.

I would assume all liability associated with it. Some one gets hurt on it, the bridge falls in the creek i'm responsible to remove it out of an approved trout stream. The bridge was used for vehicles and school busses until 1983. The road is still there. Shame the county didn't want to spend $500,000 in 1993 to fix it. That quote was from Professor Kim of Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. He went around the country He was an engineer rehabilitating, and fixing bridges.

Nothing now It was a bridge that was used to connect Dauphin and Northumberland counties. But was closed in 1983 due to being unsafe. The county wanted to sell it to me for a dollar, an then I assume all liability that goes with it. We also found out the county of Dauphin wanted to tear it down and sell it to an outfit in Oregon. In the meantime my wife did her research with a professor from Bucknell University in 1993 and the got the bridge on the National Register of Historic Places. thus stopping the sale, as they would have to do an archeological dig. The bridge is unique because the the turnbuckes on the bridge are opposite than a regular bridge. This bridge is often called the Seaman Bridge (named after my grandfather) it's also known as Dauphin County Bridge #27 There was a plaque on the bridge that said it was built in 1896 by The Chambersburg Bridge Company. But the plaque is missing now. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/93000720.pdf
