I think at least some reach 62-63 or so.

Sunny and 47. Just back from a walk and was comfortable in a tee and shorts.

#fringed. Need that blob of blue over VA at this point.

We are! Mediocrity State! I like Franklin, I really do. I think he brings a lot of very good things to PSU. Just not convinced he's a top level gameday coach.

@paweather So...the MU Weather Director is saying "there's a chance" (even if it's not a good one) The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which I discussed in detail last week, is likely to reach its peak negative value on Nov. 26 or 27 and not go back into its positive phase until Dec. 1 or 2. The blocking high pressure system across the North Atlantic will actually retrograde briefly westward and become centered over or just to the south of Greenland before shifting eastward again by the final day or two of the month. At the same time, the jet stream will bulge northward across the western U.S. and southwestern Canada and dip southward across the East. This jet stream reconfiguration will result in the coldest, 4-6 day stretch of weather we've seen since February.. and I'd be willing to bet that temperatures average some 5-10 degrees below normal over the last 5 days of the month. We typically experience highs in the 30s to low 40s and lows in the 20s to around 30 in late November when the large-scale weather pattern takes on this configuration, and I see no exception this time. I'll end things by mentioning that I do see the possibility of a potential brush with wintry weather around the 28th or 29th of November. It's very typical to get light snowfall in La Nina winters from weak, fast-moving disturbances (deemed "Alberta Clippers") that race southeastward out of Canada, zip through the Midwest and end up reaching the East Coast within 24-48 hours. The large-scale weather pattern that lends itself to these types of systems is nearly identical to the one that should unfold over the last 5 days of the month. However, snowfall typically only occurs in a ~ 50-150 mile-wide band along and to the north of a clipper system's track, so it'll require a near-perfect storm track and overnight timing for any snow to occur in LanCo. It's definitely something I'll be keeping a close eye on this week since some guidance suggests this outcome, but the chance of receiving our first measurable snowfall before December is still only around 20%

I mowed yesterday afternoon. After being in Pittsburgh and then down and out with the flu, I was surprised how green and vibrant my yard was given the number of freezes this season. I thought I was finished for the season (minus the day before snow mow) but we'll see what happens.

27 here this morning. Tonight should be the coldest night of the season so far.

I'm asking, I honestly have no idea - does the Farmer's Almanac ever call for a non-snowy winter?

Is it me or are WHTM and WGAL pretty much opposite each other? WHTM - cold early, WGAL - cold late.

Always, pal.

Believe me, we know.

Bubbler has this fun, down to earth persona going on until a winter storm looms. Then he suddenly gets very selfish.

In honor of WGAL's winter forecast tonight, I got a sneak peek and here' what they're going to say: (winter snow totals) Rouzerville: 37" Cashtown: 38.68321" Canderson: 29" with lots of drifting from strong winds Carlisle: 34" on 3.0002 QPF Summerdale: 31" and a 6 pack Marysville: 31", but with an included bonus snow map for November 2022 Palmyra: 31.5" with disappointment because the Euro promised 62" Maytown: 25" Nutstown: 27" Superstorm: 23" with 1" of ice

Talk to Ji...

Always best to go in with low expectations and high hopes. There was a time I was sorta partial to Janelle Stelson. I'm probably showing my age.

The way winter is shaping up...probably not. LOL

Yep, she started at WGAL in 1979.

I was an aspiring journalist back in the early 1980s. Kim came in and spoke to our journalism class. I won't go into great detail or saying anything too disparaging, but let's just say that she wasn't very encouraging to a teen who had a passion to become a sportswriter. 40 years later and that is my unfortunate personal experience with Kim Lemon.

40 this morning, .07" of rain since midnight.

Nice comeback, painful ending.

Thanksgiving day looks to be another of three. Potentially well into the 50s before cooling off again for Friday.

Truth! Back on the home front, a glimpse into the future today...

21 point 1st quarter - I thought; man, that's a statement start. 28 points in the 2nd quarter - umm...loss of words now.

Not sure about that. I'm 56 and watching pathetic possession after posession. I don't remember the last time I missed a game.

26 was my low, this tied my lowest reading of the season. A Penn State football team that was ranked #3 in the nation 6 weeks ago concludes the home portion of an anticlimactic season today.
