  1. Got about a half inch of snow overnight. Everything, including the street, is covered.
  2. I'm not native. I was born and raised in Bethlehem, but as far as I know, Skook is a duel definition. Like, "oh, he's from the Skook", or "he's a Skook". I just call 'em all coalcrackers...lol
  3. I believe it was, as well as a quick drop below freezing. 309 was just wet from Tamaqua south to the 443 Leiby Restaurant intersection, and from there on, it was a sheet of ice.
  4. No. We must have gotten a bit of light rain from that southern storm.
  5. Pillows actually in Dauphin County. Skook is our slang for Schuylkill.
  6. What a morning, and I'm still sitting in the Jeep waiting to get going. This was my post on Facebook a while ago... Folks in the Skook, be VERY careful this morning on the roads. 309 south of Leibys is an icy mess, and there's an accident at the 443 Lehighton cutoff. There's also a car down an embankment on 895 going to Andreas per my co-worker. I'm sitting it out with about a dozen other cars and trucks by Central Spring right now after fishtailing it all over the place in the Jeep.
  7. I can't speak for all, but from what I've seen, it seems that the each of the seasons are all delayed by a month or so.
  8. It was 43 here today as well. The low bottomed out at 17.6F this morning, which was considerably lower than CTP's forecast of 25F.
  9. Not doubting you, but what keeps the temp from dropping? It's clear out, and as far as I can tell, no WAA. Tomorrow's high is supposed to be equal to today's 40 I had.
  10. I do believe CTP is going to bust badly with my overnight low tonight. This is what they are forecasting for my backyard... And this is where I'm at as of 7:45pm... 24.8F
  11. My luck will eventually run out. Pretty sure I'm living on borrowed time.
  12. There's some on there already. 18.3 currently in my backyard.
  13. The biggest thing we have to worry about is the vent. If that puppy freezes, and we don't catch it and open up the dome, it's bye bye trailer.
  14. It looks my first night of lows in the teens likely. Current temp is 26 with a forecast low of 17. I suppose I'll be propane torching the trailer valve and inlet tomorrow morning.
  15. I really should move to a different region/climate, but in order to do that, I would have to leave/divorce the wife. She won't ever move out of the region. That said, you are correct about us being a pleasant, friendly group. They all like (or at least tolerate ) me and my warmanista ways.
  16. I used to do sports photos for the Times News down here in Lehighton, and I will tell that, no joke, I froze more often shooting spring high school baseball and softball games than I did shooting football in the fall.
