  1. No. Left Bethel around lunch time locally on Sunday and had a bit of a layover in Anchorage. Overnight flight from Seattle to Detroit, where I got maybe two hours of crappy plane sleep. When all was said and done, got into Philly ~8am eastern. Then of course have to commute home from PHL. Always brutal traveling west to east. I'm pooped, but nothing compared to what you've been dealing with. Good luck with your recovery pal.
  2. Rainfall totals while I was gone..... Saturday night: .38" and wife says it was quite the storm, with power being lost for a bit. Monday: .68" of an all-day soaking kind of rain. Was not expecting that much but also hadn't been keeping up with any local forecasts. Glad to be back from Bethel, where they are rapidly losing daylight and the winter winds are starting to howl. Man, these little outpost towns scattered across the Alaskan frontier are something else. Just a completely different way of life. You really do feel like you're in another world. A lot of things that matter here just......don't there, and vice versa. Hard to explain, but as my buddy who lives there always says, "Bethel isn't a real place" ha. Feeling quite jet-lagged as I sit here in Harrisburg. Onward.
  3. Damn sorry to hear that JNS. Scary stuff. Glad to hear you are okay.
  4. Just landed in PHL. My body clock is all kinds of confused. Thick blanket of clouds the whole way from Detroit to Philly.
  5. Safely in Seattle and not sober. Let’s just say the mini bottles were flowing freely. Next stop: red-eye to Detroit uuugghhh.
  6. Departing Bethel in a couple hours to begin the long trek back home. We hit 33 last night and were not able to see any northern lights.
  7. Thought you all would like this pic I took of Mt. Rainier from the plane yesterday….
  8. Checking in from Bethel, AK where we had a frosty overnight low of 29. Hoping to see some northern lights tonight.
  9. Just landed in Anchorage, where it’s 50 and mostly cloudy. Next stop: Bethel, the true last frontier.
  10. Safely in Seattle where you’ll be shocked to learn it’s 55 and cloudy. Next stop: Anchorage.
  11. Safely in Salt Lake City, where the pilot says it is 63 and sunny. Next stop: Seattle.
  12. On my way to PHL en route to Bethel, AK. Will provide weather updates from The Last Frontier. Cheers boys!
  13. Oh yes, well aware of the Village reopening! Had many good times there back in the day.
  14. Great call. Weather looks good too, with highs around 50 and lows in the low to mid 30s, to go with mainly clear skies Saturday night.
  15. Very nice. I haven't been to the BierHall yet, isn't that the old Jukebox nightclub? While you're getting pizza at Luca, I'll be getting pizza at UnCommon in Bethel -- only 3,714 miles apart.
  16. The thought of that is so absurd to me I was literally LOLing here at my desk Where you heading in Lanc? We were out downtown for a bit last weekend. Lancaster, London, basically the same thing.
  17. Low of 64 and no rain. I’m pulling a @canderson and heading to Alaska for the weekend, so that’s something. Just a quick hitter trip to visit my buddy’s restaurant in Bethel. My wife actually put me up to it so who am I to argue ha.
  18. Radar estimates would seem to indicate northern York Co. into eastern Cumberland Co., if anyone.
  19. Been cloudy all day here in Harrisburg, including some periods of light rain.
  20. Low of 66 with .01” of rain. Let’s see if anyone gets lucky today…..in their rain gauge, that is.
  21. Refresh me on the origins of short pump again. Is it some guy from another board who lives in a place with that name or something to that effect? Somewhere in northern VA or WV? Or am I wildly off base? haha
  22. National high of 102 at Phoenix and low of 21 at Mammoth Lakes, an @Itstrainingtime special. Latest WPC QPF map is just.......lovely.
