Winter Storm Avery, Storm Number One. Cranking up...

Yeah I was pretty much ground zero for all of that. Took 3.5 hours to go what normally takes 90 minutes. Since I'm actually delivering to a Walmart, I have an excuse to stay here. But they shut down the road for a few hours and I think they're letting trucks stay tonight. I'm in the coal region of PA and I have to be down by Dulles in the morning.

 

Full of potholes, construction and 4 wheelers.

But seriously, this storm came from the south, so after the moisture passes there should be a warming trend. Watch for ice in the morning and flooding in the afternoon.

 

My Massachusetts friends say this storm dumped snow in em and it ain't done yet. Their schools are on a 2hr delay tomorrow, which is....rare.

 

You'll be fine.

 

What part of the PA coal region? I live in Tamaqua.

 

The bridge was bad, and that construction leading to it. Especially that plate temporary bridge

They need to finish that crap before we get much more bad weather.

Only had a couple in the ditch around Hanson. Stayed good in Tennessee so I stayed here today

 

They have and are working on that T1 (#2102) in the hopes of running it again, perhaps next year. For now they have another steam engine they bring out on occasion (a 4-6-2) #425. Nice little engine that has been running for 10 years now.
