2014-2015 winter was very cold. The first in our Chester house. I distinctly remember what the gutters looked like loaded with ice/snow and monster icicles.
My town has dropped hundreds on the sides of main roads; due to the ash bore infestation.
I didn't see as many stressed ash this past summer as 2018, so maybe, just maybe, the worst has past?
18 at 7:00 am down this way; nice outside with no wind.
I have observed noticeable change in temps from the valley below me, elevation 350-400',to my property at the top of the hill, elevation 780'. Sometimes 3-4 degrees. The valleys take much longer to warm up in the morning.
My father always said the all day rains were better than the deluges from quick hitting thunderstorms. Could be an old farmer's saying or could have some validity.
8.5" measured at 6:15 am. Driveway shoveling was a tough slog. Compaction in full effect now.
Was concerned about the cold temps progged and the resultant glacier if I didn't get the driveway (stone/dirt) cleared.
Because I'm being lazy (and swamped with work) what are we reasonably looking at for tomorrow? Mt. Holly has my area 3-5", others 5-8". My truck is currently down due to rusted brake lines I haven't yet repaired; so I'll be riding my trusty 2007 civic!
There's ice on the edges of the Delaware south of Trenton. Saw it this morning on my drive south.
Btw...toaster bathes are in demand in the main forum. I've seen it bad before, but this year is nuts.
