  1. Completely agree about Costco and Kirkland being better; it's just the distance factor, as you mentioned, and how busy the place gets (to say nothing of the parking situation ha) that keep me away. BJ's was simply a decision borne out of convenience. Side note, LNS got 2.21" yesterday. Yahtzee.
  2. Any insight on BJ's gas? We got a membership there a year ago because we live so close and use it primarily for the gas and non-perishable products.
  3. Me too. We were out of the house at some wedding festivities and I was surprised to see only a third of an inch in the gauge when I got home. However, I was aware of the fact that I had kind of just barely snuck in on some of those late day potent lines. Looks like another mediocre chance today and then a prolonged dry period.
  4. Low of 66 with .33” of rainfall. Much more just to my north and east.
  5. Low of 69 with .08” of total rainfall. Regardless of what happens with the storms today, it looks like an awesome week ahead.
  6. Pending tomorrow’s outcome, this could be quite the forecast bust. But as Bubbler mentioned, it was always going to be kind of a scattered convection type day so no guarantees. Still, I don’t think any of us thought the radar would be as paltry as it was today.
  7. I saw that during one of my many glances of RadarScope this morning and thought you might be getting hit pretty good.
  8. Round one looks to be in the books here and I’m a little under a tenth of an inch.
  9. Appreciate that. I think I’ll do some number crunching sometime this week.
  10. Low of 61. Taking the kids to a Barnstormers game tonight. Should be another ‘beaut.
  11. We were supposed to go to Seward as well while we were out there but the wildfire smoke canceled our day cruise. Yeah we found Anchorage very underwhelming. Some of my buddies who've been there many times joke that it's just a larger Altoona haha. But the rest of Alaska, my goodness. Breathtaking beauty on an almost unimaginable level, and the vastness/remoteness is hard to comprehend. It truly is the last frontier.
  12. Haha believe it or not there are no chain restaurants of any type in Bethel, which is a big part of the reason my buddy opened up a place there. The big boys don't want to be bothered with it, given that you can only get there by air or sea and keeping stuff stocked can be a pain. UnCommon Pizza is the name, check it out. The original UnCommon opened up in 2007 in Lititz, PA and is still going strong. Well, the only reason I mention Girdwood is because I was taken to some sort of hippie forest festival there one time haha, and also they have the Alyeska ski resort there. But Whittier, with the one-way railroad tunnel in and out, is a unique little place with some killer views.
  13. Drive up to Talkeetna sometime and take the scenic route through Hatcher Pass, glorious. Girdwood and Whittier are cool too. My buddy owns a restaurant in Bethel, AK; now THAT's a place I guarantee none of you have been haha.
  14. Side note, I thought for sure you were going to ask me what the hell Oyster Point was haha.
  15. Looks like some smoke in the upper atmosphere, shows up well on the visible satellite and HRRR has it modeled over our area...... http://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/PSUGOES_PA2/IMGv_0.jpg
  16. Low of 61 here in the Oyster Point precinct of West Hempfield Township. I wonder if MDT could sneak in a 90 Thursday or Friday. Sorry to hear about your mishap Voyager, hope you heal up soon mate.
  17. Back to back 59s over here in Hempfield. Great morning to catch a train.
  18. Low of 59 and a stunning week ahead. I mowed yesterday as well, in addition to about half my neighborhood ha. A good chunk of my yard is still dormant and I don't think it will be coming back this year, but the parts that weren't definitely needed it. Had a nice campfire going last night. National high of 119 at Death Valley and low of 33 near Davis, WV. Carry on.
  19. Low of 62. I expect the mowers to be going nuts in my neighborhood today.
  20. 1.38” is what I’m seeing. 2.63” for CXY. Might be 1.47” for MDT. Haven’t looked deep yet. But that’s the ballpark.
  21. Low of 65 with 1.42” of rainfall. Gorgeous weather on tap for the foreseeable future. That sound you hear is the collective roar of mowers everywhere testing their engines after a long hiatus.
  22. Looks like about an inch and a half over here. Official measurement in the morning. Kind of played out as expected over this way. Nothing crazy. Sun making random appearances.
