Leaving for camp.

I'll be leaving for the cabin in a few minutes. One of the first projects will be to get the weather station back on the air. Watch for it at:

The weather this week, and other stuff.

It looks like the weather may warm up a bit over the vest few days. I may get a chance to go to camp in Bradford County for a little cabin maintenance. For one thing, the last time we were there it seems I inadvertently turned off the weather reporting station...probbaly by bumping the radio controlled with a bag of potato chips (you had to be there)!

On another front, a classmate of mine from the ELCO class of '67 has put together a video using photos from our yearbook and audio from recordings made at the time. A true blast from the past!! Even if you don't know anyone from the class, the video is still worth a look, just because of how well it is done. Here's the link:

Enjoy!!

A wintery mess for this week.

After a couple nice, if cool, days Monday and the first half of Tuesday, look out for a bit of a mess for the rest of the week. Wednesday into Thursday looks to be the messiest time with the usual snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain scenario likely. Another storm system looks poised to come in over the weekend, although that one may be more of a problem for the northern half of PA. We'll see...

Nice weather for February.

With the coming of record warm weather for February and the resulting snow melt, we decided a short trip to camp was in order. While the temperatures in Bradford County weren't a warm as Schaefferstown, it was enough to get rid of a good deal of the snow. Some areas went form snow packs in excess of 12 inches to nothing in less then a week! Wednesday morning the warm air and the melting snow conspired to produce a nice layer of ground fog.

After the cold front crosses the area tonight, it looked like it's back to reality! Oh, well...

Cabin Fever

Yes,I have cabin fever. I need to get to the cabin in the worst way...but the weather's not with me. As near as I am able to tell, the roads to the cabin are passable, with 4WD. There is somewhere between 8 and 12 inches of snow and ice on the ground making the lane into the cabin a bit of a challenge, to say the least. I can deal with the cold if I could get there, but that's not looking good for the next couple weeks. Come on Spring!!!
