Boxing Day Blizzard 2010. Another kick in the groin.

Okay, you redeemed yourself!

December 2000 is when my...uh...private parts got permanently damaged. The 'ole "kick in the nuts" storm if there ever was one.

Final 3-day rainfall tally in Maytown was 2.45". There was standing water in low-lying areas around town this morning - been a LONG time since I've seen that.

That is utterly ridiculous. For our annual football weekend in Pittsburgh, my son and I stay at the Residence Inn North Shore, which is a couple of blocks from the stadium. This year I paid $269/night, which I booked about 5 minutes after the schedule release. The next day the rates were in the $400-$500/night range...jacked up but nothing like what you shared at PSU. $2500? That is nuts.

Temp has crashed 20 degrees since 8am from 61 down to 41. Light rain, strong gusty winds with 1.61" of rainfall for the day.

This isn't an isolated incident, either. There were multiple occurrences of this happening on the same day. I know that UF did the same at Doak Campbell.

1.02" for the day, 1.79" since Monday.

10 degree temp drop in the past 30 minutes - down to 51 with moderate rain. .84" for the day.

Yeah, we should see things pick up later this morning. Only .01" here over the past hour. Right now it's a heavy mist.

Rainfall last evening overperformed here - it seems to be perhaps underperforming so far today? Maybe? I'm at 0.56 since midnight, only .08" over the past 3 hours. Looks like it will pick up here in the next 2 hours.

Rainfall total thus far: Monday: .33" Tuesday: .44" Wednesday: .50" Current temp is 60.4

Wow! Very heavy rain here now.

MU: a few wet snowflakes as the storm ends, mainly west of Rt. 15.

I certainly believed you without it.

Socked in overcast and 45 here. Edit: Temp has risen 0.7 degrees since 7am.

6 days later and it's now on the doorstep...1-3" of rain tonight into tomorrow PM.

.33" of rainfall fell yesterday.

A lot more water to come this week for the eastern half of PA:

Years ago, I shared an office with a guy here at work. We listened to 96.1 SOX every day - and "Really Want To See You Tonight" came on just about every day. So, there's a line in that song that goes like: "I'm not talking about movin' in..." and I'd listen to this and sit there quietly thinking...why is he singing about talking about the linens? One day, months, maybe a couple of years later, after the song was over, my office mate spins around says to me - doesn't it sound like he's talking about the linens? All was suddenly right in my world again. On YouTube, on the official website for the guys they clearly sound like it's "Movin' In" but I swear on the radio it sound like "The Linens". LOL

Leader of the Band gets me teary eyed every time I hear it. I love Dan Fogelberg.

Back in 1994 I spent a weekend in Indianapolis watching sports at the Hoosier (later known as RCA) Dome. On Saturday I went to see Indiana vs Kansas in college hoops - nearly 47,000 on hand in what was just an amazing atmosphere. Roy Williams and Danny Manning vs the General Robert Montgomery Knight and Damon Bailey. Probably a top 5 all-time sporting event I've attended...and I've been to a whole lot. Next day watched the Colts and Dolphins in the Dome. Probably one of the worst 5 events I've attended. Football in the dome was awful. It did not feel right at all. Place was packed but it was just lacking in every area. First, and what will be the last indoor football game I will attend. Just no. I get what Bubbler is saying regarding injuries, definitely respect that thought. I still believe that football (and baseball) should be played in natural elements at all levels.

For Penn State to win the championship they need to win 4 games, which is a third of the total amount of regular season games. This isn't talked about much, but these kids are used to playing a 12 or 13 game season. Someone this year might end up playing 16 games. That's a significant increase and it wears on the body. While having a mini series might help weed out a fluke situation, I think it would just be way too taxing to put the kids through that. That's just my thought.

60.3 in Maytown.
