From yesterday: Decided to get some wintry pics this Christmas Eve before it gets warmer and melts the ice on the creek. It's been colder than what we think this December.

Merry Christmas everyone. It definitely is a white Christmas here. Half inch to and inch of snow still on the ground.

Wxrisk.com rSpeonsotd6itau9f9h6ua0hf2c4m955u8mcf7516a8c5121g37u14464g09 · ATTENTION ALL SICK TWISTED WEATHER FREAKS.... UPDATE ABOUT EARLY JAN COLD & EASTERN US SNOWSTORM THREAT.... I know to some it may seem silly or unwise to be speculating and talking about the event in early January. But that's how we learn and get more skillful . Those who are a long time followers of this page and website know that over the last 30 years it has become a clear that the big events when they happen are often detectable more than a week out. I am using the term Eastern us here because even though the data primarily shows this to be a Mid-Atlantic New England type of winter storm threat is still way too early to know for certain which portion of the Eastern us could get hit the hardest

Had the same thing happen here too. Somewhere around 9:30 last night. Little snow, drizzle made things icy, but nothing on radar.

Maybe 1/32 snow fell here. Let's see if January 2025 produces, or will we be left with just cold and dry.

That sucks. Hope your day gets better. At least I didn't steal your thunder in the low temp. department. Congrats on your low!

Looks like 3.6 is the low, unless it drops a little more till sunrise.

Down to 9 here. That snow cover is helping sink the temperature.

At least none of us has to travel out west to find Voyager He's in our area now if you's decide to hold a tribunal in Tamaqua for a under preforming winter.

Low was 13

I hope WE ARE... doesn't turn into we were today.

Have about 2 inches here on non paved surfaces. And temp is down to 31 3. Starting to lay on non treated roads

yes.

Last year the breaker was shorting the locals here to a ton when they came to the breaker. But when those big trucks came in to get coal, there was no limit for them! So I imagine there was a contract.

Surprising! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coal-use-all-time-high-2024-hottest-year-ever/

We went by a port near Va. beach this summer on our way down to Nags Head and the piles of coal sitting there was unbelievable.

In the late spring to early fall I use 17lbs. a day to heat just my hot water at a temp of 150. Now in December i'm averaging about 59.375lbs. a day, to heat hot water to a temp of 185 and heat the house with cast-iron baseboard fixtures.

I get mine for $200.00 a ton but have to pay my inlaw for delivery. I get 4 tons at a time. Last year coal was scarse at times. They had big trucks come in an get the coal from the breaker and it taken to ports to be shipped to China for $500.00 a ton.

To give an idea on how cold this December is as compared to last December 2023. I have a coal furnace This December my coal usage has increased 8.43%. Which translates to an extra 9.21 lbs. a day.

Mine is 4 on Monday morning.

Marysville might tend to disagree on the ytd rainfall.

From our dear friend DT:

Interesting.

Maybe DT is heading up the meeting. Possibly the new CEO?
