Nope. Once I deliver in Sunbury, the fastest (but not the shortest mileage wise) is to run US11 to Danville and then 80 east to 81 south to get home.

Interesting temperature variations this morning. Here in Tamaqua it's currently 37 degrees. Out in Sunbury, it's anywhere from 28-32 on the PWS's in the area. I looked because we had to drop a trailer out in Sunbury yesterday. I broke down on my first load of the day (blew a radiator hose while climbing the Blue Mountain) which put me 2 hours behind schedule. By the time I got to our Sunbury customer, they closed shop and went home. Rather than drag the load back home than back up there again this morning, it was dropped and I bobtailed home. Today's driver will bobtail back to unload it and continue on his day. Now, the load itself won't freeze, but the outlet valve might.

I see how you are. You just want a free load of water...lol

I'm still waiting to see them in Downtown Pillow as I drive through...

Very light rain here, but close to a little icing event. Got down to 34 on my Jeep thermometer going in to work this early morning.

25 in Tamaqua at 2:45am.

51 degree nooners after a low of 26 this morning.

Do you mean football, or an actual turkey bowl as in bowling. WZZO, the rock station in Allentown, used to hold a literal turkey bowl, where they drilled holes in frozen turkeys and set up pins and a makeshift lane in their parking lot.

I agree. I like my winter holidays Thanksgiving/Christmas at least overcast and cool. Typically though, we see rain on the summer holidays and bright, sunny skies on the winter ones...

@mahantango#1 I'm going to be Sunbury bound later this week and the beginning of next week. I expect a red carpet out on the main drag through Pillow on Thursday morning...

Got this one in Allentown while delivering my second water load.

Classic example of clickbait. It got me too. Saw the headline about Las Vegas snow only to find out it was in normally snowy Las Vegas, NM. They conveniently left out the state to get people to click the link...

.38" in the bucket so far...

My gauge is showing 0.01". At least it's moisture to tamp down the fire danger. I'm sure some heavier stuff will move in later. At least I hope so.

I could handle a winter like that. Let it snow like a MF'er, then bring on spring...lol

Low was 29.6 sometime overnight, but now, at 4:45am it's up to 31.6

It truly feels like a mid summer night outside right now. Complete with chirping crickets.

79.5 today which is good for a rounded up 80, although I hate that. I know it's NWS protocol, but in my opinion (which doesn't really matter) you should actually record 80.0 (or any temperature) for it to count as such.

Got up to 73 today

Looks like the drought might have an effect on my work soon. Don't know if they'll ask for voluntary extraction cutbacks, or if they'll go to the authorities and force our hand. Now my company is only a hauler for the well owners, so it's up to them and the govt what happens. https://www.tnonline.com/20241105/wells-streams-low-in-west-penn/

Got me by one again. You scoundrel...lol

Brush fires popping all over the place. Got one now in Coaldale, which is 5 miles from the house, and one over by Pottsville. Ugh...hope these new ones get put out quickly.

Nothing new this morning yet, but this post from NEPA Storm Chasers from 10pm last night paints a pretty dire situation. Thank God there is no coal in that area. If this fire was happening here in Tamaqua, or anywhere else in the coal region, we could potentially have another Centralia on our hands.

We need rain, bad. Large wildfire on the Blue Mountain in the Palmerton/Walnutport area of Carbon and Northampton County. That's about 25 miles from me. https://www.wfmz.com/_homepage_top_stories/fast-moving-brush-fire-closes-roads-burns-multiple-acres-in-northampton-county/article_2638c690-9965-11ef-b92b-0ff9dd40207c.html#tncms-source=Homepage-Top-Stories

Farther west, colder temps most likely because my backyard sits at 845 feet. Also we had some wind to keep radiational cooling to a minimum.
