So far, Penn Dot is keeping ahead of it here as roads are mostly wet. Sitting at 34 degrees is helping. Trying to get as many loads as I can. If the roads totally cave, I can't run these permitted overweight loads.
Snowing in Allentown at my delivery, but just wet so far. Other driver called me and said 309 over Blue Mountain is snow covered already.
Gonna be a fun ride back up empty and light...
It will be interesting to see what that line produces here, and when it'll hit. Hopefully it happens when I'm loading or unloading, and not while I'm driving.
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...
