Itstrainingtime

Soundly beaten in every phase of the game.

PSU defense (shorthanded, but still) getting shredded by Ole Miss. Can't imagine how bad this would be against New Miss...

Raw morning here - sort of a light, blowing mist currently and 41.

At the end of the day, that's what matters. Some people are turned off by forecasts they don't want to hear...I want to read/listen to someone who is right. Saves a whole lot of disappointment later on.

Back on 11/2 MU called for temps around +5 for December, +1 - +3 for January and then below normal for February. Looking really good so far...

Only got up to 35.1 here today so far - currently it's 34.5. @Mount Joy Snowman we're going to pull off the rare combo of a warmer than forecast low followed by a colder than forecast high. And...pulling it off without precip.

Agreed - not super familiar with Liberty like I am with Roundtop (2 of my kids had passes when they were teens) but don't they suffer from having a lot of south-facing terrain? Roundtop maximizes retention with a lot of terrain that sees little sun until later in the season. Sunny, dry days don't hurt them. It's rain and high dews that are crushing. (same for any resort)

The trails don't look that great but far better than just a few days ago. I can't remember the last year that Roundtop didn't beat Liberty and/or Whitetail for opening day.

@Bubbler86 guess what? Roundtop opens for the season...tomorrow.

Pretty good disco in the MA long-range thread centered on the dictionary, drugs, and a little weather thrown in.

42 here at 11:45am.

Best case scenario - "both sides" win.

Interesting note - I just read on CTP's home page that because the solstice isn't until approximately 10:30pm tonight, it won't be until Saturday that the days start getting longer.

Holy crap, it's 39.2 at home! Edit: It's 39 officially at MU as well. (it ain't just me :))

Must have been? Thing is, I was only at or below freezing for about 75 minutes total. Most of the night (10pm to 7am) was either 33 or 34.

Stunned at how warm it was this morning - 34 currently, looks like it briefly dropped to 31 earlier. Pretty big bust at least locally.

Interesting data - and I agree...what saved this past 5 years from being #1 all time were the back to back big Marches that we had at the start of this 5 year period. One of the biggest snowstorms occurred on the first day of spring. Take that out of the mix and we'd be staring at a record run of futility.

He really has, and I'm glad that you mentioned it and not me. Hopefully his streak continues, as he's still thinking that it will turn white as winter progresses.

Elliott on next week's rain potential (and beyond): Not until next Tuesday or Wednesday should a storm system move into the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic States and bring the next round of unsettled weather to the region. This system will likely bring rain to parts of the Deep South, Tennessee Valley, and Midwest on Christmas Day but face resistance from the large high pressure system over New England. Regardless of the system's timing, temperatures will be way too high and the storm track too far north/west for any wintry precipitation in the entire mid-Atlantic region. Thus, another soaking rainfall is a "good bet" at some point during the middle of next week, but amounts should not be high enough for any more flooding concerns. As mentioned, it will also be another "mild rainstorm" with temperatures in the 40s or 50s. 'Tis the norm in December during strong El Niño winters. As for snow and ice, the tide may turn in early- to mid-January, but it'll be a "no-show" until then. Cue the old adage, "Patience is a virtue".. -- Elliott

Low of 26 this morning in Maytown. MU's call of a 3-5 AN December is looking pretty good...

Yep - my wife reported snow at home about an hour ago and the temp was down to 36.

Thanks for sharing this - do you happen to have the direct link to Sterling's? That one tends to be much better for those of us east of the river.

Just 34 for my overnight low - not sure I stay in the 30s today, it's already up to 38.

Very true. Just remember that different personalities means that many are not like yours. I'm 58 years old and never went back to back years without shoveling a single time. Until the last 2 winters, that is. And as horrific as the past 2 years were, you were still able to post snow maps that gave me literally hundreds of inches of digital snow. Having said all of that, count me in as one who believes our turn is coming soon.

You mean like how this beauty panned out yesterday?
