Started snowing about 20 minutes ago. Jeep is coated. Roads and sidewalks are a wet/white mixture.

Nary a flake in Tamaqua yet. We had a super light dusting on the vehicles that looked more like frost than snow. That has since melted due to the current temperature of 32.5

I got you. Here it is... hopefully.

Ha. Just screenshotted it, and was going to post it.

The random posts about people being in the wrong forums, and I think I'm on the wrong board. I'm beyond depressed with seeing Friday's temps dropping. it doesn't help when Phoenix has three consecutive weeks of record pushing warm temps and the midwest torches this week. I like all of you, and I get good weather analysis here, but I'm a straight up warmanista, and am the antithesis of what this board was founded on and stands on. In reality, I live in the wrong part of the country, too, and should have NEVER left Arizona after my mom passed...

Finally looked back at Fridays stats for Tamaqua (my backyard). Max wind, as I mentioned earlier, was well below most places due to houses and nearby mountains sheltering my neighborhood. High temp: 57 Low temp: 24 Wind gust: 16.2 mph Rainfall: 1.26"

Much to my chagrin, that beautiful warm air just can't get east of the mountains. Seeing Iowa and Nebraska in the 60s depresses me.

I speak only for myself, but you can kindly escort yourself out of the forum for posting that...

Mine is quite sheltered too. I had a peak wind gust of only 16.2 mph yesterday in my backyard.

Up my way in northern Lehigh and Schuylkill Counties, downed trees, wires, and even some snapped power poles in New Tripoli on PA309 played havoc with the last two deliveries of my trucking work shift.

Everywhere. It's totally messing up my afternoon/night.

Don't forget 15 in Tamaqua...lol Not complaining, but my backyard is so sheltered by the neighborhood houses and the nearby mountains that I rarely get over 20 mph here

We need that, especially in the liquid form. Some of our wells have really taken a hit with the dryness, and now frozen precipitation and ground. One of the wells can only handle one truck per hour. If we don't space the trucks, we'll draw from the ground and not the silo. If the water lever gets below the pump in the bore hole, we'll burn it up, which will be a major and expensive problem. Even with the warm up, I'm not sure how much of that liquid gets into the water table and how much runs off.

I'm thinking we warm for the holiday weeks when I have multiple days off. Then, come January, when it's back to regular work weeks, we tank again. It's just my luck...

I am really looking forward to this warm up. In addition to frozen caps and valves in the trailer, we have to deal with an icy ground truth, and salt just won't cut through that much ice because each load puts more water on the ground. The is what we deal with at the loading locations.

Dropped into the singles if you don't do the official round up/down. 9.9 at 7am.

Lots of single digits on personal weather stations this morning along the Susquehanna and in the Harrisburg area this morning. Coldest one I saw was +2 in Holiday Park near Linglestown. Here in my backyard, though, I'm sitting at 14.

Good on him. I could use some conditioning myself. I'm quite out of shape. Shovelling yesterday kicked my ass.

There you go antagonizing people again... Just kidding. I chuckled when I read this. And I see Sauss thought it was funny, too.

I'd either scroll on by or just answer the question. It wouldn't bother me. Like itstrainingtime, I don't do most social media. Facebook, YouTube, and here is all I do. I still don't see anything wrong with what Canderson posted. I really can't figure out your beef with him. Everyone else, me included, like and respect the guy.

My God, no I shouldn't have.

What happened when the calendar flipped to January in those years?

Yup. That's all it was. There was nothing offensive or hurtful in any of the posts during that time frame.

Absolutely. I saw it the same way you did.

I, and I doubt that anyone other than YOU, didn't see it as a character assassination at all.
