Pone Lane Posting - December 9th's Weather

Pone Lane Posting
Yesterday's weather here in Western Pennsylvania was weird and wacky! Rained overnight, windy, hail, cold, then sunny. About noon we had thunder and lightning, pea sized hail, high winds, trees and limbs down. Some areas had electric outages. Gusts up to 68 mph in some areas. The Weather Channel introduced a new word for me - Graupel - supercooled droplets of water condensed on snowflakes. Not quite the same as hail. Who knew?
This morning we have snow on the ground - enough to shovel on the front sidewalk.

  1. Darren to the rescue! We had something wacky ourselves with our water not working, it was not the water lines under the trailer but, thanks to Darren, we discovered it was the top of the well casing exposed to wind and cold that froze up the pressure switch water lines....thanks to me who removed my flowers in the summer when the well was being replaced! I removed dirt and all and that exposed more of the casing to the cold weather and it FROZE!! Wacky weather and wacky problems to contend with. All is better now. Todd is sleeping from his trip with Darren to Hubbard to buy a REZNOR heater, turns out it was much too big - from a large warehouse! We will keep looking in the area shopper for one to purchase.
