  1. We had sprinkles here, that didn't even move the needle. 0.00" yesterday and overnight. I'm just glad those heavy rains came after midnight. Both our Reading and Allentown water plants were dead in the crosshairs, but I was done and parked the truck at 11:30pm. I guess the overnight shift drivers got soaked.
  2. Apparently some slow movers rolled through Berks and Lehigh Counties this overnight morning. Those areas have a flood warning with some locations getting 2-3 inches of rain. Meanwhile, up here on the other side of the Blue Mountain, we remained high and dry.
  3. I've got a winch on my Jeep, so actually I could just pull them out of the way...lol
  4. Hopefully after midnight. By then I'll be (hopefully) done with my shift and have the truck parked.
  5. Well, it's raining a bit here. Not exactly what I wanted as I'm totally wiped out from lack of sleep working a 2pm to 2am job. I get to bed between 2 and 3am, but my natural body, plus my wife getting ready for work and the dog carrying on, has me up at 6am. I'm just not into getting wet hooking an unhooking hoses tonight. On a side note, besides being so tired, I'm also stressed and deeply bummed out. Stressed from what still going on with moms residual financial obligations. And bummed because most of my neighbor friends have turnd on me and shunned me because they think I did my wife wrong by going to help my mom. At some point, I'm going to crack if something doesn't change. I was so stoked about coming back home, but more and more I'm wishing I'd have stayed out west.
  6. The weather gods are prepping us for winter snowstorms...
  7. Got 0 66" at the house. Of course it hit right when I was hooking up to load my last delivery of the night. I got soaked. Then I got to run in it all the way to Allentown where I got soaked again. No real wind, but it was a good rain and lightning producer.
  8. As others have said, it doesn't look like much is going to happen south of 80 and east of the river...
  9. Anyone else notice that whenever there is a severe threat "forecast" for a particular day we start out overcast?
  10. My low this morning was 73, which is quite high for here. No matter how hot it is, our lows usually dip to the 60's most nights. Even under solid cloudcover this morning, we've risen to 78 now.
  11. Thanks for the detailed analysis, Quincy. I'm about 20 or so miles southeast of the I-80/I-81 interchange. Not sure what to expect as I seem to be on the edge of the good stuff.
  12. Anyone see State College's Facebook post? Storms and possible tornados tomorrow evening.
  13. Ugh. I hope they reissue my old plate then. I don't want that ugly thing on the back of my Jeep.
  14. Nevermind. I just looked it up....and I agree with you. I just hope it's going be a special order plate, and not standard issue going forward.
  15. Highest heat index on my station today so far has been 110.3 degrees at 1:18pm.
  16. 68 was my overnight/morning low. It, however, has already bumped up 4 degrees to 72. Yesterday's high was 95, and today's forecast is for 92. No matter what, I'm guessing the humidity is going to make for a VERY uncomfortable day. My delivery destinations are either Reading, Trexlertown, or Allentown depending on where I'm sent today. All three of those locations have forecasts of upper 90's, and I start my 2nd shift job at 2:00pm, so to say I'm not looking forward to my first two deliveries, is an understatement.
