Voyager

I got stuck doing Hazleton loads yesterday. That godforsaken place has a whole different climate from even Tamaqua. Save for a brief period of sunshine, it was mostly overcast and windy up there, and I had to wear my hoodie almost all day. I checked the local stations and it didn't get above 60 the whole time I was up there. The Hazleton climate is the main reason why I hate delivering to that customer.

I said it a couple weeks ago, and here it is. I truly believe we're going to have a roller coaster summer of heat for a few days, then a period of much below temps, then warm up, then go 'cold" again... Friday Partly sunny, with a high near 67.

The bolded part is what makes me bitch and moan. I'm tired of the wild 30 degree temperature swings. From here on out, I'd like to see the cooler periods hold in the 70's, not drop back into the 50's (like yesterday) and 60's.

Kind of breezy and cold here this morning. It's 47 currently, but the wind has a bite to it.

Probably be a 30 degree swing between next week and the end of the month and Memorial Day ends up being 65 and cloudy...lol

Getting good boomer and rainer here right now...

I mentioned this in the Central PA forum when I got blasted for complaining about the cold spells. The huge swings in temps are annoying.

I can handle a solid rainy day, but multiple days of easterly fetches and drizzle makes me want to drive my truck off a bridge...

Well, this escalated quickly! Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 77. Saturday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 55. Sunday Sunny, with a high near 82. Sunday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 56. Monday Mostly sunny, with a high near 87.

It's strange how our human bodies work differently. The older I get, the more I despise the cold. When I was young, I didn't mind it, but as I got older I started to dislike it. Now I flat out hate it. If it's really cold, it can be downright painful, but in general, I just hate bundling up anymore, and love the freedom of a short sleeve shirt and shorts/jeans. As for the snow and ice, that's a trucking thing. If I worked inside and just had a to and from work commute, I'd probably somewhat like snow

Different story up here. With a high of only 66, it was more of a damp feeling than a humid one. Borderline jacket weather for me. As for rain, only 0.01" so far.

Yup. It's getting quite old... And yet ANOTHER semi crappy weekend day today. Chilly, damp and drizzly.

Got a surprise shower with some thunder a few minutes ago (4:30AM). Picked up 0.02"...lol

This is true. It's much cooler in Tamaqua, then adding in that a lot of my work puts me in Hazleton, which is even colder than Tamaqua, and you can see my frustration. Also, a malfunctioning thyroid makes me even more cold intolerant, and there you have it. A perfect recipe for complaining. So I too will apologize. Perhaps I need to tone it down and respect other folks' likes and preferences.

And another thing, and yes, I'm a bit feisty this morning, but what can make this forum unreadable at times isn't the complaining about heat or cold, but the sports (basketball) posts that litter this place up from time to time. Those belong in the banter thread.
