Nice article on Lancaster Online today about Horst's retirement. Lancaster area people are going to miss him tremendously prior to and during winter weather events.
Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park. Though, if you can only go on a weekend it will be very crowded.
Delaware Water Gap up near Stroudsburg is great too.
My point and click for today is Mostly Sunny. The next 6 days are Sunny every day. Beautiful weather for sure - just wonder when it might rain again...
All of my trips (approx. 20) have been to central FL and north and east of there. Many trips to Cocoa Beach and JAX. I often wondered what it was like in the panhandle.
Even though they've stumbled a bit lately there's no quitting in the O's. Nice to see them win a series against a very good Atlanta team. Akin was dealing tonight.
It's all about the money. Imagine the cash cow that is PSU football on a fall Saturday with 107,000 fans shelling out the dough that they (okay, I) do.
As an owner of 5 pets, 4 of which I rescued...my heart goes out to those of you who are dealing with sick animals. Talk about pulling on heartstrings...
As pawatch mentioned, Sally's biggest story line is rain. Hard to fathom that some coastal areas might end up with more rain from Sally than Rouzerville sees during 2020.
From Horst:
"Nice visualization of the smoke plume crossing North America from the western fires. The smoke layer over Pennsylvania is mainly between 15,000 - 20,000 feet, so there's no impact on surface air quality."
Do I ever! I believe we had just had a strong cold front push through, and the forecast was for several days of refreshing, cool breezes and brilliant sunshine. At first I thought it was a colossal bust by all the mets until it was reported that the strong NW flow behind the front had ushered smoke from the Canadian fires right over PA.
This is the 2nd most impressive "smoke event" that I can recall here.
That's interesting...reading posts in the DC thread that smoke is obscuring the sky EAST of the Chesapeake...surprised it's not noticeable where you are. The sky here is almost 100% "white" with little to no blue visible.
Certainly possible, but it's also possible we get that warm right into October. If I was a betting man (I'm not) I would hedge that a few of us hit 80 or better again this year.
I think the first opportunity comes tomorrow...saw a couple of forecasts for 82 in Lancaster tomorrow.
