Dispute Between Neighbors Ends in Fatal Shooting in Shenandoah Heights
Schuylkill County Weather Forecast
By: Monsoon Mike
Get ready for the freezer again this coming week! Not overly brutal Sunday and perhaps even somewhat comfortable Monday before another major cold front puts us down into the arctic depths for Tuesday until the end of the coming week. A frustrating thing for snow lovers, however, is that no major snowstorms look to happen this coming week. A potential larger potential around Thursday now looks to stay on the more minor side. That's not to say we won't see ANY snow this week. They'll actually be two, if not three chances for "minor" snowfalls, but that's it for this week. Still looking at the final week of January for more "active" weather.
When are those "minor" events that we've grown frequently used to this winter season? Some snow showers possible Sunday morning (but less than today's event). Some more snow showers Tuesday. And some more Thursday. One of those Tuesday or Thursday events could "surprise" us with a little more snow than "showers," much like today's did, but that's about it for the week. The biggest story will be the c ... c ... cold with highs only in the teens and nights in the single digits. Have a good evening!

A male driver of a white SUV lost control and sheered into a pole along near 431 Fairview Street in Rush Township just before 11 AM today (Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014). The man was treated on scene and refuse further medical care. Responding were Rush Township Police, Hometown Fire Company, Ryan Township Fire Company, Quakake Fire Company and fire police. No power or services were said to be affected. PPL was called to repair the line.

Two young men escaped serious injury after narrowly missing a deer and crashing their car into two connected fences in Rush Township early this morning (Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014). Emergency personnel were called to a single motor vehicle accident shortly after 1:30 AM just northeast of the Fairview Street and Marian Avenue intersection. When they arrived, they observed a car entangled in a fence along Marian Avenue, just short of an Air Products water pumping station. Responding were Rush Township Police, Ryan Township Police, Quakake Fire Company, Hometown Fire Company, Ryan Rescue Squad/EMS and others. The two males in the vehicle were treated on scene by Ryan Township EMS.

Schuylkill County Weather Forecast
By: Monsoon Mike
A small system is moving in from the west and a bit of snow will fall overnight. I think the National Weather Service's call for 2 to 4 inches is a bit on the heavy side, but not to say it couldn't happen in isolated locations. Best call I think is 1 to 2 inches, maybe an isolated 3. If you're heading south into our Berks County neighbors' territory, a coating to an inch or two at best. Just a dusting to perhaps very little to nothing near Philly. Key times will be from about 1 a.m. through the early morning hours of Saturday. I'd recommend not venturing out until the afternoon Saturday if you don't have to, to let the road crews do their thing. Another batch of light snow is possible later in the weekend, followed by a brief respite Monday followed by our second huge arctic plunge of 2014. Expect highs barely through the teens by mid week! Still no MAJOR snowstorms on the horizon, but I think it's only a matter of time before the atmosphere breaks down and lets one of these quick moving mini-storms blow into a bigger storm, probably during the last week of January.

Schuylkill County Weather Forecast
By: Monsoon Mike
Today turned out pretty darn nice in the afternoon, albeit chilly. More clouds, unfortunately, invade the region tomorrow as our next minor disturbance arrives. Snow showers over the weekend will be sporadic, but any snow shower could temporarily dust the ground to as much as an inch and make for tricky travel. Temperatures take another dive into arctic vicinities mid next week and by the end of next week or first thing the week after, those "minor" bouts snow may turn into some more major winter weather just in time for the end of January/early February
Yuengling Ice Cream Began Production This Week
Production was not suppose to begin until March.
The first batches of ice cream are expected to hit the shelves in major grocery stores by mid-February. Weis and Acme were both mentioned as locations.
The suggested retail price will be $5.49 to $5.99 per quart
Ten all-natural flavors of ice cream are being produced for their first run
Vanilla, Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Black and Tan (chocolate and caramel), Vanilla Fudge Chunk with Pretzels, Espresso Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Marshmallow, Root Beer Float, and Mint Chocolate Chip.
At the state-of-the-art facility, they will be able to make 40 quarts of ice cream per minute, 14,000 quarts per day, and 100,000 quarts in the initial 10 day run.
Yuengling ice cream initially was in operation from 1920-1985. Yuengling introduced ice cream to supplement the brewery's revenue during prohibition.
Production stopped in 1985 when no successor to the then-president Frederick "Fritz" Yuengling could be identified.
The new president, David Yuengling, is the son of Fritz.
