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.
Sorry you feel that way, but it's about consistency. I don't need a torch, but I, like most people, don't really want frost and freeze warnings this time of year, nor windy -10+ to -15 daytime departures.
Give me 45/65 and I'm quite fine with that.
Just a random one-off in this decrepit cold spell. I was just outside and needed my winter coat because in addition to the cold, the wind had to ramp up as well.
Yeah, I was quite surprised this morning. It's 38 now, but was 41 when I first woke a 4am.
Yes, I'm an early bird and can't sleep in even on my days off.
Anyone seeing rain/drizzle?
Up here in wretched Hazleton today, and of course I'm getting rained on. If there's one place I hate, it's Hazleton. The weather is always shitty in one form or another up here.
My forecast for tomorrow just keeps getting colder and colder...
Saturday
Showers. High near 44. East wind 6 to 8 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%
Not really upset about the rain, although it will mess up a rare opportunity to see one of my high school senior grandson's baseball games, which will likely be postponed. We need it. It's the temperatures, which once again drop down into the mid 40's making for a wreched day...
Saturday: Rain. High near 46. East wind 6 to 8 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
25 here at the house, but looking at PWS's nearby, the coldest in the immediate region is down in the Lizard Creek valley near Andreas and my company HQ. There a station is recording 19 currently.
I should be a fortune teller. When I saw that it was going to be cold on Monday I said to the wife that I'd probably get our Hazleton customer.
Lo and behold, I'm doing Hazleton deliveries on Monday. It'll be 8 to 10 degrees colder (and much windier) there than at our Allentown and Reading customers.
Such is my life...
Couldn't crack 90 as we topped out at 89.1 today. My Monday forecast keeps getting colder as the high is now down to 44.
I'm still of the persuasion that this summer is going to be a rollercoaster ride of AN and BN temps every week or two.
Seeing how we swing the pendulum back to almost winter again next week, I'm beginning to think this summer is going to be a roller coaster ride of hot one week, cool/cold the next.
