Nam did have some light freezing precip up Skook way for this AM. The just missed blockbuster situation. Wasn't following the weather forecast for Philly but was surprised to see how nasty it was down there last night. Mist/drizzle was the worst type of precip to fall into freezing temps where it occurred. 10 minutes ago, Mount Joy Snowman said: A low of 31 and some thick fog with visibilities <1/4 mile. The fog and temp combo has created some slick black ice type spots on the roadways this morning, careful out there! Got down to 28 here. Working from home today and have not been out but it looks completely dry from what I can see. Farmdale cutoff? (skies must have been "less cloudy" here resulting in my lower temp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my post on Facebook a while ago... Folks in the Skook, be VERY careful this morning on the roads. 309 south of Leibys is an icy mess, and there's an accident at the 443 Lehighton cutoff. There's also a car down an embankment on 895 going to Andreas per my co-worker. I'm sitting it out with about a dozen other cars and trucks by Central Spring right now after fishtailing it all over the place in the Jeep. Yikes! Freezing rain is scary. Is it extremely localized, or the county as a whole? My bro and sister in law live in Orwigsburg. Per Wunderground, it looks like most places in the county are in the mid 30s. Must be very low-level cold air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was, as well as a quick drop below freezing. 309 was just wet from Tamaqua south to the 443 Leiby Restaurant intersection, and from there on, it was a sheet of ice.

That is what I am trying to determine as well. If it's not a place then we have to change our usage of it or it could have multiple usage scenarios. Those skanks up in the skook could become those skanks with the skook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashtown_Coop Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 There’s a light glaze of ice on the trees south on 83 from York. Number of accidents as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can picture that area well. We made many trips through there during my childhood of driving from our home in Lancaster to see family Hazleton. Leiby's was a popular stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had steady drizzle for a period last evening. This was a storm that I had said to watch last week. It came notably north, but just missed. I was thinking northern periphery might get white from it. Oh well....another miss all the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm up 209 points in my fantasy league with 3 weeks left. I should be able to coast to victory at this point - having Taylor and Kupp has paid off handsomely. Kupp is a freaking machine.
