The new plow guy is having a rough time with the controls and clearly needs a bacon refill. #winterweather #dogsatwork #municipallife

If you asked if I would one day enjoy #budgeting, I’d have lost that bet. I enjoy YTD budget reviews before bed. Sometimes I don’t mind adulting. We are at a good spot to end the year out well below budget. #budgetingisfun #blueprint #adulting #AntrimTownship #municipallife #team

GA #OldHomeWeek is in full swing, but @AntrimTownship still has governing to do. I enjoyed catching up with our friends at WRGG 93.7 FM Radio. After that, we cut the ribbon for our newest road, Conrad Court. #smartgrowth #municipallife #Greencastle

CodeRED Weather Warning: The @NWS has issued a #SevereThunderstormWarning for our Township from 7:34 PM June 25 until 8:45 PM June 25. It is pouring at our municipal building, and doing absolutely nothing at our waste water treatment plant…

Assistant @AntrimTownship Administrator, Dawson was on duty again. Picked up debris from the Creek Cleanup Project. Also took snacks to @FranklinCoPAgov 911 Center for #nationalpublicsafetytelecommunicatorsweek. #FranklinCounty #EmergencyServices #municipallife #chaoscoordinators

This little guy could have cared less if the traffic signal was green or not. He was just loving life. Definitely a new form of traffic control for me…#Mercersburg #ducklife #municipallife #nocaresnoworries

Honored to have @RepJohnJoyce in @AntrimTownship. He spent some time chatting with our road crew and office staff. We thank “Doc” and his staff for stopping by and offering assistance to our Greencastle-Antrim community. #Greencastle #municipallife

Last week, Sheriff Sites & Chief Deputy Foy stopped by to chat and tour our @AntrimTownship operations. We value our law enforcement! Thanks to Sheriff Sites and everyone at the @FranklinCoPAgov Sheriff’s Office! #backtheblue #municipallife #Greencastle #publicsafetyfirst

Our @AntrimTownship guys are doing a heck of a job knocking out some #roadscraping! Again, nice to see the #publicworks and #roadcrew working together. #roadwork #springcleaning #municipallife #teamwork #breakingdownsilos https://t.co/I1PVuuRaWa

FIRE DANGER TODAY - #HIGHWINDS: It is a beautiful day, but it is also windy! Please refrain from burning today. There are already multiple brush fires around the region, so please do not add to the already heavy workload of our emergency services partners. #firedanger #dontburn

[Antrim Township @AntrimTownship]

#HIGHWINDWARNING it will be breezy and potentially dangerous for few hours in @FranklinCoPAgov. Wind gusts up to 60 mph expected. Call 911 ONLY for life-threatening emergencies, crimes in progress, life is in danger. @PennDOTNews @PAStatePolice @PSATS @Newstalk1037fm

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

#rabbithole week, so figures it would end with 60 mph #windgusts. Ordered #Chinesefood and I hear “Franklin to any @antrimtownship units” over the radio. Resident reports #snow and ice on their road. DAMN. In short, a Prius owner could make it. #dosanddontsof911 #municipallife

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

Although I’m not on the same political side as the Governor, this is too funny. Nice response, @GovernorShapiro!

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Come and take it.

[Antrim Township @AntrimTownship]

Fun fact for the day. After a winter weather event, the plow fleet is cleaned to help prevent rust and other mechanical issues. Tedious job, but the road crew does a great job maintaining our equipment. #snowplowing #Greencastle #municipallife #preventativemaintenance

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

Many cool aspects of my job, reviewing @AntrimTownship code is not one. I dislike #legalese. Glad that my profs harped about proper punctuation. Our codification “experts” are about to get a lesson on #semicolons. Thanks #IDChannel for the distractions. #punctuationmatters

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

And the #roadmaster says…it’s gonna snow in @AntrimTownship tomorrow! 4-6 inches of dry snow. More than last storm, much colder, plus windy. Salt will be useless. Wish us luck and stay warm! Gonna be a rough one. #snowplowing #snowplowlife #snow #municipallife #freezingcold

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

Today was a first. I took the early shift in the big #plowtruck (one of our single axles). Admittedly, I was terrified. However, I did not destroy one single mailbox (clipped one…maybe). We will be back out tomorrow morning. #backtoschool #snowplowlife #municipallife #snowdrifts

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

Honored to attend the swearing-in ceremony for Rep. @cgreichard today at the #Capitol. Quite a #FranklinCounty delegation. Also, congrats to my friend, Rep. Topper for his @PAHouseGOP Leader post. Both of these guys will do great things! #harrisburg #municipallife #Republicans

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

@johnewetzel @Newstalk1037fm Thanks brother!

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

Rest in peace, Kell! I will cherish my time spent with you as #KellySpinner on @Newstalk1037fm, and getting to spend time with you and Hans, your commitment to the #FranklinCounty Visitors Bureau and just seeing you in #Greencastle. You will be forever missed, my friend! #RIP

[Chris Ardinger @ChrisArdinger]

@johnewetzel @Newstalk1037fm I know, hit me like a ton of bricks!
