You are a better man than I.

Thanks. Hauling water is one of the easiest trucking jobs I've had. Winter cold tries one's patience though. Hoses turn into PVC pipes, caps freeze on, valves freeze shut.

Then there's the ever present fear that the vent froze shut. If that happens, especially when we're unloading, a good tank trailer ends up in the scrap yard.

You forgot "people who drive like me." Thanks.

A VERY frosty 29 in Maytown this morning - probably the heaviest frost of the year. Assuming it was in part due to residual moisture left from yesterday. 

It's funny, I had absolutely no frost in my yard and temp was sitting well above freezing.  It wasn't until I got to some of the more rural areas around Mount Joy that I hit the 20s and noticed frost.

Morning gang.  Just parsin over the tellies and maps, and yeah it looks like the see saw ride will continue till we warm up to end the year.  

Moving past the holidays they continue to hold a workable look, as the NAO, PNA and AO have +'s and -'s where they need to be, but no overwhelming signals.  MJO earlier this week looked to get into a better phase 7, but then did the pump fake and tried to loop back into 6 (not good- maritime phase).  This morning that appears to be gone, and just higher amp 7.  ENS guidance still lean twds getting into 8, but that's no lock.  MJO influence may be muted based on current ENSO state, but it still looms large IMO and something I'm watchin as we end the year.  +pna is great only when we can get cold press in the east, or if often means were just flooded w more pac air.  IF it goes to 8 w/ other indies holding as shown, zonal to slighly troughed in east would be a legit possibility and a workable pattern may show.  as the current look for the new year is, we need NAO/AO to help offset pac influence just warmth just rolls east or NE thru conus, and we get cuts and post frontal cold (as we've gotten rather accustomed to). 

Was hoping MJO would keep moving and better looks would be showing up, (other than the always good looks of 360 hr ens guidance shows) -but we've all seen them enough to know better.  It's just a tool....fool, and for now they are just eye candy. 

Speaking of candy, there's candy canes over in the candy basket, so I'm going to snitch a couple.

Have a great day.
