Itstrainingtime

On the board for the season here at work - just had a 5 minute sleet shower. T is on the books in Conestoga.

33 this morning with cloudy skies and a fiery sky on the eastern horizon.

All that I can really add to this mystery is that every Sunday night when I see Carrie kick off the weekly NFL game, I become a Dream Traveler as well...

(might have been...me?)

Timmer is live right now as well.

A frosty 31 in Maytown this morning. Leaving for Florida next Friday, December 1st through the 11th. 8 previous trips to Florida during the first week of December resulted in measurable snow in Maytown during 6 of those 8 years...

Gorgeous weekend weather. High today was 58 in Maytown.

I got skipped - seems like most got at least several hundredths but nothing measurable here.

Enjoy! Great day to be there. I'm jealous! 53 here as well.

0.00" of rain here.

I have no issue with you posting this information. It is after all, the weather. And these days, we set a lot more record highs than we do lows. We all understand by now that this is pretty much all that you post. I guess if that's your agenda, it makes perfect sense that that's what we're going to get from you. You're certainly entitled to share a side/opinion that some here might not really like reading. I myself I'm totally fine with it. As the saying goes "it is what it is." But...here's my issue. Several days ago, I "put myself out there" and shared my 2023-24 seasonal snowfall guesses for several spots in central PA. Of course, my wintry-looking numbers were a little too much for you to let pass, so you jumped on my call. Cool. I do think; however, that it's fair for me to ask you to provide your own thoughts/guesses if you're going to criticize mine. I mean, if I questioned someone in here, I'd do so knowing that I'd need to share my own thoughts. Just seems like the right thing to do. And, I did ask you to do just that. Of course, you did not play fair. And I'm not surprised. However, I'm sure I'll hear from you again at the end of the season to tell me just how poorly I did.

Add Chuck in the MA thread to the "about to cancel winter 24-25 group. Can't we get through/enjoy this winter first? We're going to reach new depths of weenieism this year - we're going to have 2' of snow on the ground with heavy snow falling in February but people will be cliff-jumping about something still 10 months away.

Not completely true - he has already cancelled the winter of 24-25, but he's about to cancel this winter. Just not yet. LOL Ji is the smartest comedian here - I make sure that I'm not eating or drinking when he's active posting. Guy is legit funny. Like I said, he knows when to play his game though because he really does have a great knowledge/understanding.

Thank you - holy cow do we need rain.

That's exactly where my mother lives. It's a Stauffer's Fresh Foods now.

68.3 to be exact here.

That is actually pretty amazing - look how much of the country has been REALLY dry...

Our son MIGHT have done exactly that in February 2010...(he was 11 at the time) I have zero clue where he got inclinations like that...

I like how crisp a fresh arctic air mass is - and I'm being serious. Bitter cold days, the air invigorates me. Always has.

See above - they got nothing on ITT.

Sunny and 65 - it is a spectacular day! Just came in from a lunchtime walk across campus and it feels wonderful to be outside.

I was REALLY happy to hear that you're going to the game on Saturday. I'm going to rant, and I will move on with this post, and please understand that this is not at all directed at you - I have followed Penn State football for 50 years. I went to Penn State. I am all about PSU. I'm also upset, disappointed, sad, and yes, even a bit angry about where we're at right now. I was watching a video this week where students last Saturday were yelling things like "you suck" to the players as they headed for the south endzone. This saddens me even more than what happened during the game. There is so much negativity right now - most of it at JF, but when the students are turning on their fellow student athletes...sigh. I had very, very high hopes this year. Though, I was also hedging a bit since we were starting an unproven QB. I was concerned that the expectations might exceed the reality. That has proven to be true. And I know that most of my fellow PSU fans don't want to hear this (I'm not sure I want to hear myself say this) but we are 8-2, with a chance for another 11 win season. My son and I were eating in downtown Pittsburgh Saturday night and there was a group of PSU fans adjacent to us that were at the Beav earlier in the afternoon. They were all bitching and moaning about the game, the server comes to their table and interrupts them and says "yeah, well, I'm a student at Pitt...do you have any idea how much we'd love to be 8-2 right now? We (PSU Nation) wants to get to that elite level SO bad that I think it's jaded us somewhat. There are 128 FBS teams in the country. You have OSU, Georgia, Alabama who perennially are in the mix for the title. Schools like Michigan, Clemson, USC, Texas, are often "up there" but certainly not always. USC has been down a lot. Clemson is barely over .500 this year. Same with some of the Florida schools. Point is, there are only a very few teams that seem to reload consistently - there are many other storied schools, some of which I mentioned, that are perceived to be elite but really aren't consistently there. Shoot, even Michigan had struggled for a few years. All that to say - there are literally tens of thousands of seats available for Saturday's game on PSU's Ticket Exchange, and the going price is less than $10. It's clear that many are disgusted and have checked out. Whatever. Good for you to go and represent. I'll be watching just like I do every week. It's my school and we're a helluva lot better than most schools in the country. Although...we might lose to Rutgers...

Also reached 59 in Maytown, at MU, and I believe at LNS.

I was still stuck at work when my wife texted about getting 7" - I knew then it was time to head home.
