 I am still on board with this prediction guys,  My biggest concern is really severe ice jamming and floods by March.  If this pattern even hints at relaxing and opening the Gulf of America with moisture, we are in some deep flooding shit folks with ice jammming.  Bridges may go down throughout the region and the folks on Adams Island on the Lehigh River in the LV, their homes will be destroyed  and or flooded.  The ice jams that I remeber while I was the Twp manager in Lower Mt Bethel Township, I saw mobile homes and cars 40 feet in the air  stuck in trees. Its going to be really really bad if we get a quick warmup with flooding rains after this pattern change, especially around the 22nd time period. 

Here is a ice jam flood in my parents backyard back in 1994 on the neshaminy creek! Destroyed a steel shelter with ease.

Been a volunteer firefighter for 35 years and this morning was the absolute coldest fire I have ever been to. 

I opened my mouth to breathe, and it felt like I was inhaling ice cubes. 

8 degrees now. 

Come July you’ll be begging for this weather.  ;)

8F

We are in the thick of it. 7F and my auto fill home heating oil company let my tank run dry. The joys of home ownership. Sitting at 61F in the living room. Emergency oil fill on the way.

Any of you guys ever bleed a furnace oil line?

Ensembles signaling some wintry weather 15th then again 20th with another AO plunge and more winter for at least the remainder of Feb, tho weeklies and cfs stuff suggest March will be quite the ride.

Same happened to me. Ran out of oil.  In my case my oil delivery guy did the bleed. It took about 2 minutes. I was going to do it. You tube video shows it . Not hard to do.

East Nantmeal looks like it had the coldest reading this morning with a low of 2.5 above zero. Of note Atglen DEOS, KMQS Coatesville Airport and the West Grove DEOS stations all will tie the County record for most consecutive days below freezing high days today at 16 straight days set way back in 1961! They are on track to set a new consecutive record of 17 days tomorrow. It looks like all spots will finally get above freezing on both Tuesday and Wednesday before falling back below freezing for max temps on both Thursday and Friday. The week looks pretty dry with only a slight chance of some precipitation toward Wednesday.

That’s rough! Fortunately it’s never happened to me but it’s always been a fear of mine. I got a refill last year and I must have been down to my last drop. The guy knocked on my door to see if I was still alive…lol!

Good luck!

I was going to do it. Just not sure if I need to turn power off at the emergency switch or leave it on. Also, should keep the heat turned to 'off' on the thermostat while I bleed or does that need to be turned on also?

I think the emergency delivery guys know how to do it, happened to us when we first moved here, and the driver took care of it. @Ralph Wiggum
