First Day of Winter

Winter Solstice, otherwise known as the first day of winter
and today would be that day!

December 21, 2017


The Winter Solstice

Winter inspires both joy and woe. Some people can't wait for the cooler weather, snow, skiing and ice skating, curling up by a fire, and the holiday spirit. Other people dislike the frigid temperatures, blizzards, and wild weather.

The word solstice comes from the Latin words for "sun" and "to stand still.” In the Northern Hemisphere, as summer advances to winter, the points on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets advance southward each day; the high point in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, which occurs at local noon, also moves southward each day. At the winter solstice, the Sun’s path has reached its southernmost position. The next day, the path will advance northward. However, a few days before and after the winter solstice, the change is so slight that the Sun’s path seems to stay the same, or stand still. The Sun is directly overhead at "high-noon" on Winter Solstice at the latitude called the Tropic of Capricorn.

Winter solstice is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight during the whole year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs around December 21 or 22. In the Southern Hemisphere, around June 20 or 21.

Wishing you a happy Winter Solstice

Heed this Plea from Tow Truck Driver

"Slow Down, Slow Down when you see
flashing lights"
 Story Here


Here we go into the holiday RUSH and we understand, 
we're out Christmas shopping too!  But since we're in the tow truck business we wanted to remind you once again that
we have FAMILY, we have FRIENDS, we have CO-WORKERS, we have BELOVED PETS.........
and we all want to arrive safely home!  

So, please MOVE OVER if you see us on the road 
trying to help someone in need. 
We're just doing our job.

Steer Clear
or Move Over
Just Do It!

Ok, so it is a little confusing when the industry has been 
using the term Move Over and now all of a sudden
I'm seeing Steer Clear........but the deal is, they're
one in the same and that is what is important.



You've got to Move Over - It Saves Lives!

Feel Good Animal Rescue!

Oh, we all love happy endings and especially during the Holiday
Season to remind us to keep the Spirit alive!


WILLIAMSPORT — Using a calm approach with the animal 
and calling in a tow truck to provide muscle, 
emergency crews Sunday afternoon were able to 
rescue a horse from a mucky, slow-moving stream 
which a humane society worker 
described as being like "quicksand."
 

Thank goodness for the passerby who happened to see the horse
stuck in the quicksand like situation!  Of course there are no
words to thank the emergency crews for their diligent work in
this emergency.  

We've had our share of emergencies rescues and we know
the relief that's felt by all when our attempts are
successful!
