Itstrainingtime

My streak of futility between the Orioles and Penn State lives on.

Oh my God no.

Sinking feeling warning hoisted.

Just came in from depositing some recyclables. There is literally no wind here.

Very true! Truth is, if I was going to be outside on a day like today for an extended period of time OR sitting at a football game, I would layer up. By far the best and most comfortable way to go.

Yes but can James Franklin withstand the heat?

This really is true. My parents lived in Alaska for years and while I did not, I think I definitely have my dad's tolerance for cold weather genes. After the great 1978 Blizzard I remember him outside in a tee shirt. I joined him. Mom had other ideas and insisted that I get all bundled up...when I got back outside, dad told me that I was to shovel the bottom of our driveway. That was out of sight to mom.

Jeans. Shorts not part of the "Business Casual" dress code we have in the office.

Mid-weight jacket. No hat, no gloves or any other warming device. I did not feel cold at all once I started my walk.

You're soft. It's 31 degrees. Great day to be walking along the river.

Enola Low Grade Trail is fully exposed to the sun from late morning on. It was quite breezy but not on the level I thought it would be. It really wasn't that bad.

Just back from a pleasant lunchtime walk along the river below Washington Boro. Amazing how quickly the river iced over during the past 24 hours. Yesterday morning the channel was 100% clear.

This makes me sad: MU Weather Center Today, 5:00 PM sunsets return in Harrisburg and York! In Lancaster, the sun sets at 5:00 PM again on Saturday. Not until November 5, 2025, will there be a sunset earlier than 5:00 PM.

There were a lot of people (including various mets) as far back as last winter flat out saying that the winter of 2024-25 would be non-existent and that everyone should resign themselves to just looking ahead to next winter. Based on what was said, this winter has been a pleasant surprise so far. And more to come.

You called?

I don't like to make predictions for my sports teams, PSU football in particular. I will say this - I do think if PSU wins it will be by 3-6 points. If ND wins it will be by 10-14 points. I also think that if we can figure out how to start well for once our chance of winning goes way up. Get ahead, force their QB to throw/move around and our defense can feast. However, if ND sets the tempo early...

18 this morning in Maytown. All decked out in PSU gear in the office.

He was just told to leave their forum. Shocking.

That's what I said!

From Merriam Webster: "The National Weather Service will; at it's discretion, issue a Cold Weather Advisory to help dumba**'s understand that cold weather is coming."

That would be negative. LOL (referring to snow) Also...referring to...ah, nevermind.

Waiting...it's the hardest part. Especially waiting for -12.

Add wind to it and I only experienced a 5 degree drop.

I'll add this about @Ruin - as much as his posting style tends to be off-putting to many of us, once you wade through the negativity...the overall message is often correct. My forecast low from CTP for this morning was 19, my actual low was 26! In fact, it's an above normal temp morning here in Maytown. The International Airport down the road (club boasts that it has parachute jumpers from all over the world, easily qualifying us as an International Airport) had a low of 25. It just simply isn't as cold as what was originally forecast, and that's what Ruin ruined us with. For the day, I averaged a -3 departure with my well below average high.
