Itstrainingtime

75 with smoke this morning. "Smokiest" yet.

Hopefully in this case, delayed is denied in regards to the extreme heat.

Outgoing shift met from CTP to incoming shift met - "you might need to issue a headline for (fill in the blank) Incoming shift met "where are you seeing that on the models?" Outgoing shift met "No, I read it on the weather forums...it was that Bubbler dude again" Incoming shift met "WTF?"

85 and sun/haze/smoke. CTP mentioned in their updated disco the need to lower expected highs today by a few degrees solely due to the smoke.

81 here. I don't think I will reach it either.

The second part was made in jest. I don't want 40' seas. Already went through that on a previous voyage, don't need an encore.

Cruising to Bermuda next year for our 25th anniversary. Looking forward to enjoying 40' seas from tropical weather.

LOL - yet another trail I'll leave alone. I don't. I think in general as I get older I struggle with allergies and respiratory issues more.

I did see a map where the smoke reaches it's worst in our area tomorrow. I'll shelter in place and put my mask back on.

Pillow Firemen's Carnival is going to cut into the York State Fair's attendance...

Been coughing a good bit the past few days...wondering if it's smoke related. Anyone else struggling with allergies or respiratory-type issues?

Normal high for MDT on 10/1 is 70, so it would take a +30 departure to reach 100. I guess it could?

Weather extremes seem to be the new normal. A 100 in early October...never say never.

Bubbler the soothsayer has got the hot hand these days, hard to bet against you. I'll remain somewhat cautious as it's only 7/20 and we've had a lot of late-season heat waves in the past. Having said that...I hope you're right!

I honestly don't remember even seeing a cloud today...likely due to the amount of smoke.

Storm is sorta of Petering out over that mountain north of Harrisburg.

The Pillow storm might actually track even a bit farther west than the first one. While the cell is moving pretty much due south, the core of cell seems to be congealing west somewhat.

@sauss06 I didn't really think we'd get close to 90 today, but I'm at 89 now...

I was just going to post that - the cell hitting Canderson now is more less heading directly down Interstate 83 and will miss me pretty far west. There are a couple of smaller cells NE of Harrisburg that might reach me if they hold together, but they are a ways off yet.

I don't know if it's the smoke or what, but I see nothing looming on the horizon. Not even a hint of a darker tint to the sky to my N/NW.

That's awesome!

Canderson the rain magnet strikes again. He gets rain on a day there was a 0% chance.

Today: Bubber > CTP. I love CTP and defend them endlessly, but there was ZERO mention of rain for today that I saw. Having said that, all I see here is sun and smoke.

1979 haunts me to this day. 2 things in particular: 1) Hearing "We Are Family" about 6 thousand times during the World Series 2) Hearing Omar Moreno's wife blow that f'ing whistle she had about 10 thousand times.

Indeed they did! They actually were in the playoffs in 2012, 2014, and 2016. The last few years of godawful baseball I think fool some people that it wasn't that long ago that the O's were actually pretty good. In 2012 they were REALLY good. I feel for Pirates fans. Such a great baseball tradition and some really good baseball fans and very little to be excited about beyond having a gem of a ballpark. In my honest opinion, Camden Yards is way behind PNC Park for me. I love being there and just gawking at that sightlines.
