Itstrainingtime

We turn around at Walnut Street (road that crosses the tracks to the Visitors Center) and head back towards Marietta. Sometimes we'll go across and sit on a bench along the river to watch the boats come in and out. I was in shorts today, of course.

Welcome to our turf! My wife and I were there this afternoon, we walked from Marietta down to Columbia and back.

I don't work at MU...

I am going to miss my first Steelers game in years now. Might or might not be the right decision but I'm depressed. I have meetings going into the evening at work that I'm running. Painful to miss a playoff game. And as @Mount Joy Snowman said...Monday might not be any better. Even if there MIGHT be less snow falling, fans are going to have to deal with a lot more OTG to dig out and navigate to the stadium.

I had lunch there yesterday!!!

You have bigger concerns with your team to be worrying about what's going on in Dallas. I will go on record right now and say that the Eagles are going to crush Tampa. I honestly think they win by at least 17.

I just watched the governor of New York tell Steelers fans to stay home and be safe. She doesn't want them at the game. It was intended to be a humorous little thing, but she made no mention of the game actually getting moved. Also, Tomlin said last night that he was told to be ready to go Sunday by the NFL. We shall see. It does seem like Orchard Park gets a reprieve during the day on Monday with potentially more bands drifting in during the evening.

Finished with .92" of rain. Another solid event.

.47" of rain. Probably not a lot more to come.

Wait...what? The season starts in October.

Fans get more excited over chicken than the team. LOL

You get more nuggies every time it happens, too!

Chik Fil A nuggets!

Nope. Top of the grass was still showing. Not much of it, but not fully covered.

I have not had a single snowfall that covered my yard since 2021. Lanco has been screwed repeatedly.

I'm ready to enjoy tonight. :]

A lot of refreshing for very little snow.

@MAG5035 - the potential heavy snowfall rates in Orchard Park will be just one element - BUF forecasting winds Sunday afternoon at 25-30mph sustained with gusts in the 40s. It's going to be very difficult to execute pretty much anything on offense.

I checked our forum's weenie list and that comment lands in the #7 position on this Season's Top 40 countdown!

Especially considering what the Euro just did. I know a lot of people are tossing it...and I also have a pretty good guess why. Millville seems to think that the flow aloft gives the Euro solution some credibility.

MillvilleWx said to proceed with caution regarding the GFS - he's much more worried about suppression vs something amped up. And that's for the MA folks. I really, really want this to work out, especially with all of the colder temps coming.

It's time for one of these...

Philly post game pressers would easily become must-see TV between Belichick and Tortorella...

That must have been a Harrisburg thing - anyone from Lancaster county will tell you that getting 2-4" from any clipper is a bonanza. Ain't no way we had weeks of clippers that produced that much.

Unfortunately, I don't keep data on snow cover retention. The best year that I recall was the winter of 1993-94. I seem to remember having continuous snow cover from about this time of year through the middle of March. We had a lot of QPF that was evenly distributed between snow, sleet, and freezing rain. It was a glacier that would not melt. I started my current job in 1997 and we've had an additional year...maybe very late 90s or early 2000s that had snow cover for many weeks. Other than that, snow cover has been elusive for any period longer than a week outside of that glorious week in February 2010. Even that only lasted about 10 days or so as I recall.
