Itstrainingtime

I used Greenawalt. Very good reviews on the web.

But the fall was exceptionally dry, hence the drought designation. If my favorite sports team was 50-25, most would say they were having a great year. But if they were 50-10 and then lost 15 in a row, I don't think anyone would argue that they weren't in a major slump. I think precip works the same way.

...but I've had 3.5" over the past 10 days!

Congrats on the new roof! I "just" replaced ours while working at home during the pandemic...holy cow, can't believe it's been over 4 years!

Here is what CTP is saying:

This is the part that scares me the most.

You are not - I don't look past any opponent. I did know who the next game would be against but I tuned out all of the details surrounding it. I'm not JF's biggest fan but I wholeheartedly subscribe to his "1-0 this week" mentality. As fellow Steelers fans, we have a long history of seeing our team(s) play down (lose) to inferior opponents. And I'm not saying that SMU is inferior, I'm just saying it's one game at a time. The more I read/watch SMU on video the more I'm becoming concerned.

GFS with a beast to close the month. Tons of water. From the map you posted above the vast majority of that QPF falls on the 30th.

This might be the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Well done! I appreciate people who can make fun of THEIR teams...goodness knows I have both plenty of experience doing so for my teams. Of my top 5 teams (PSU Football, Orioles, Sixers, Flyers, Steelers) only one has won anything since the beginning of 2000. Flyers, Orioles and Sixers all go back 40 years or longer.

Yeah I meant to say Abbottstown - Adamstown is over here in Lanco! (and Berks as well)

Enjoy - I was never a fan. I was scolded by my mom multiple times growing up during the holiday season due to my bad attitude about candy canes. Someone would hand me one and I must have made a cringe-worthy face...I was told to be thankful when someone gave me something. Great advice, wonderful parenting. Truly. I was 100% wrong. I still don't like candy canes though.

We have one in Maytown. No one knows what to do. Unlike the ones in New Oxford and Adamstown, ours works differently. It's a 2 way stop and a 2 way yield (for those who pulled out from the stop) but it's a cluster. Police often sit adjacent to the square patrolling the chaos.

Woke up this morning, looking out the window and my immediate reaction was "WHOA!!!" My wife rolls over towards me in anticipation of what might be coming for the next 2-3 minutes before I spin back around looking at her and say "it's really frosty" Yeah...that killed that moment.

A VERY frosty 29 in Maytown this morning - probably the heaviest frost of the year. Assuming it was in part due to residual moisture left from yesterday.

Partly sunny and 58 in Conestoga.

We ride the ICON/Navgem combo...what could go wrong?

Achenbach's makes great long johns.

A quick check this morning on ticket availability shows that very few tickets have been sold since Friday. The resale inventory has actually increased along with falling prices.

Damp, overcast, misty and 46 when I left home this morning. Partly sunny and 52 (!) already here at work.

I will say this about the 273 snow maps that were posted in advance of last evening's event -if you go back and look through them over the past 10 pages or so, there was remarkable model consensus with where the snow would fall AND in general...they were pretty darn accurate. (they were almost all too high, but that happens with 98% of our events) I cherrypicked one of @Blizzard of 93 maps he posted Saturday evening to illustrate - again, other than the amount, the general intent here looked pretty good. I've been known to be critical of snow maps...but I'll also publicly admit that they had a decent handle on this event.

And more beneficial rains coming this evening. Could very well be around 3.5" for a 7 day total.

Had some very heavy rain late last evening (probably the same batch that Blizz referred to falling as snow at MDT) that has pushed my running 7 day total to 3.02" of liquid. The .2" of snow that fell was long gone by this morning - currently it's 37 with drizze.

This caught me off guard tonight. Don't know the whole story but the timing is atrocious.

A lot of talk (well deserved) about Philly and Detroit being on a collision course in the NFC...might have to introduce the Pack to the conversation. Not sold on the Vikings, I like Love better than Darnold. That might also be my bias towards USC.

Rain and 33. The worst. Did pick up .2" of slushy snow.
