I'm a heat miser at heart, but since it seems that wherever I am, so too shall the cold be, I figured I'd start this one.
Hopefully my return brings good fortune for the winter warlocks in our region.
And go...
Coldest morning so far at 16 degrees...
I guess it's now sucky season on the water haul. Now we deal with frozen valves, caps, and hoses that act more like a solid piece of PVC pipe.
So a cold, sunny Saturday showed up in my forecast for next weekend. That's good for our company Christmas party, but does that mean no storm?
29/17 for the high and low that day, so plenty cold enough.
The joys of being an early riser for work (1:30am) means my body is tuned for it, and as such, am up on my days off by 4am. At this ungodly weekend hour it's down to 23 in Tamaqua for the coldest morning of the season so far.
And the coldest temperature I've felt in over 2 years...
So unavoidable too. All one has to do is look to the nearby mountains or hills. If they start to look "washed out" and gray, expect a heavy, blinding snow squall and slow down or get off the freeway before trouble happens. Not sure why this simple fact is not conveyed enough in the media.
Got the smallest window of opportunity I've ever seen in a forecast...lol
Today
Isolated snow showers between 3pm and 4pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 38. West wind 3 to 8 mph. Winds could gust as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
