Local mulch business had their mountainous mulch piles spontaneously ignite the last two days with many fire engines. Need a logo for drought guy we can shine in the sky like the bat signal. Hatboro area is really becoming a skyscraper territory. One apartment building in replace of the CVS constructed and another four-story up the road also going up... Think it's four stories and such? Town too small to support this, really think things will crumble, 40 ft Plus. Really should bring in brought guy to see if the land is stable....firm believer in drought guy. Hopefully the liquor bars don't crumble... Think the land is on the old Hatboro movie theater location? Good times for old timers! 1.50 a ticket.... .

Need a logo for drought guy we can shine in the sky like the bat signal. the levels in the Little Lehigh are the lowest I have everseen in the last 40+ years for the spring. Its rough as the base flows of the stream are srt to dry up quickly as the vegetation and trees come out of dormancy. Its only going to get worse. The dense morning fog by the end of the week will help some with the extremely dry humidity but we really need a stationary front over us for two weeks at this rate. The recent dry winds of 35 + are killing us. . I see nothing significant until April. An onion snow will do nothing for the drought too. we need a 16 inch wet snow to at least get the grass green. I have never seen this yellow in march ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they water is down because there is no snow pack anywhere except man made. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/pennsylvania/bushkill-falls-red-and-blue-trail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, PhiEaglesfan712 said: Even lower than spring 2002? yes. The are sections in the Little Lehigh Creek in the upper reaches where its barely deep enough for trout to swim right now. The spring base flows are down big time. There has been no snow melt recharge for the entire watershed while LCA and the industries for 50 to 100 water, soda and other beverage bottling companies plus the food manufacturers are pumping the living shit out of the groundwater system in Upper Macungie Township. Every single bottle of Deer Park, coke, DR pepper, 7 up, Pierre, Nestle, and others for the people in the entire NE USA are bottled right here using the Little Lehigh ground and surface water , the cleanest urbanized stream in the country. Believe me, you may think I am Bull shitting you guys, but the industrial people as well as LCA are in panic mode up here. Rationing water between the industries and the residents may become an issue soon if we do not get some decent rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked through mud during the Eagles parade. 2001-02 was probably the last cold season I remember where there was no mud at all. The weather was so warm and dry that fall/winter, we had outdoor recess almost every day, even through the dead of winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Really nice day today despite the cold front moving through. Tomorrow looks like backdoor cold front hell then we get 2 really nice days before the rain comes on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Fail with the clouds today does it mean it won't be cloudy tonight for the eclipse? Totality occurs 2:30-300am or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Forget backdoor cold front hell. Today is actually great. Sure it’s not upper 60s like Monday and Tuesday but 55 and sunny with not much wind is always a good day in my book. And to think the NAM had highs in the low 40s 2 days ago… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhiEaglesfan712 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 It was overcast at 2:10/2:15 this morning, so I didn't even bother to go out and see the eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 We continue to run a few degrees above normal this week and now into the weekend. After sunshine today the weekend looks cloudy with rain chances ramping up by Sunday. We certainly can use some rain, so our fingers and toes crossed! Beautiful start to next week with spring like temperatures in the 60's for much of the week. Beautiful down here at Phillies Spring Training 81 and Sunny today!

LVblizzard Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 They took away our slight risk for tomorrow, now it’s just marginal. Hopefully we can still find a way to get a decent storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our high was 50.9 here, almost 10 degrees off the forecast. Can't win 'em all, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
