Agreed if OSU had won PSU would be assured of their positioning and of hosting a home game. But I disagree about PSU dropping out under any scenario. I just don't think you drop from #3 to out of the whole dance for losing to the #1 overall team. I don't think the committee would do that, especially from a conference championship game standpoint. Heck, OSU just lost at home to a five-loss team and dropped what, a few spots? I think the rankings are fairly set at this point. If Clemson wins, I believe they and SMU will get in and Bama will be left out. I was being a bit facetious with my Bama comment. I get the worries of others but I don't think the committee will bend over for them. The Boise thing makes no difference. The non-P4 teams get one rep, whether that's Boise or someone else doesn't matter, just one rep. No slot-stealing from that group. We'll all find out in five days.

My thoughts on PSU: I don't think they'll be punished much, if at all, for losing to Oregon. I mean, someone has to lose these conference championship games, and I don't think the committee wants to set the precedent that reaching your conference championship can hurt you (I believe they've said as much). Let alone if you lose to the #1 overall team in a semi-competitive game. Now, if one team absolutely hammers the other it could change the rankings around the margins, but I don't see PSU dropping below hosting a first-round playoff game and I certainly don't see them dropping out altogether. As for the Bama thing, yeah, I think we all know where this is headed haha. Additionally, I actually think PSU has a decent shot at beating Oregon. The schedule results have been very similar, as well as the statistics. Sure, their offense will put up numbers, but I think our defense will hold up well enough. To me, the bigger issue is Oregon's underrated defense and can PSU score enough to match Oregon's output. Big questions there. Oregon is the rightful favorite but there's no reason this shouldn't be a decent game. Also, are we sure it's better to be the #1 overall seed? That matchup with the 8/9 winner looks more brutal than say the 5/12. Plus, you miss out on hosting a game, which is the coolest part. I also don't like my team sitting too long while the other team is coming off a spirited win. I believe the whole format is going to need reworked. The auto-byes given out to the four conference champs (and/or the highest ranked non-P4 team) are going to make for imbalanced brackets that, over time, will cause consternation. Just one man's thoughts.

You're not wrong. Winds are the big story tomorrow, just howling out of the west. That pressure gradient is something else.

23 when I left the house, 19 through the rurals. Hoping for a car-topper tomorrow morning, otherwise meh.

Our perpetual cycle of pain.

Mornin’, low of 26.

Low of 21. Not seeing a whole heck of a lot that excites me on the modeling. Remember when I said to place me somewhere between Jamestown and Dunkirk for this LES event, whelp, Cassadaga, NY is up to 54" for the event, and they remain in the bullseye for the next couple of days. Not to be outdone, The Tug has some big-time totals going as well, with a number of reports in the 40-60" range, and Barnes Corners taking the cake at a whopping 65.5". Although the Tug should be pretty much done with the event at this point. CLE has some ridiculous totals too, with 56" in Saybrook, OH, 50" in North East, PA, and 57.5" in Girard, PA. This event did not disappoint and it's not done yet. Even some NW parts of CTP are expected to cash in big these next 36 hours.

Low of 21. Some four foot totals around Watertown with a lot more to come.

I agree, it’s just frustrating that Franklin can never have a team ready to play out of the gate. Like ever.

I dislike OSU more but that’s like asking me which one of my kids i love more, except opposite ha. Watch this somehow screw us out of hosting a home playoff game now. Also, great start by PSU here. Real great.

A comedy of errors between these two teams. Just horrendous quarterback play.

Low of 26. This LES event has had my attention for a while and is not disappointing. Just relentless.

Dare we ask what this new bar venture will be?

.86” of total rainfall here while sitting at 46 degrees.

This Sweden Hill snow cam should be up near where @pasnownut is. Looks great.

That's awesome. Whereas I've never even been to Erie. Bradford and the Allegheny National Forest are as close as I've gotten. Just one of those things.

Perhaps not but who the hell really knows with LES. Put me on a hill somewhere between Jamestown and Dunkirk and call it a day.

Seems there's some uncertainty as to just how far the bands will wander into Erie County (NY, not PA ha) but yeah could definitely be a fun one Sunday night.

Anyone else thinking this could be a pretty audacious lake-effect event through the weekend? The Chautauqua Ridge has my attention, and of course the Tug Hill will get theirs. I think someone's popping 3-4 feet by next Monday or Tuesday.

Now THIS is the type of eye candy we expect out of you Blizz. A little disappointed it’s not beyond 300 hours but we’ll manage. Well done! 35 when I left the house. Wishing everyone a bountiful Thanksgiving with health and happiness for all!

My total rainfall from this morning was .08”.

A little late on this but I have MDT ending the month with a mean temp of 48.5, which would be good for 10th place all-time. November 1931 stands out as the warmest at 51.3, more than a full degree above 2nd place. I'll have my precipitation report later today.

Low of 34. Love the look of the unrelenting cold being depicted on the models post-Thanksgiving. I'll do a little end of month calculation sometime later today.

Low of 45. Some wild games yesterday and some classic fall weather on tap. Let’s go Pack!

I have no idea what to make of that beautiful mess ha. Looked like a coaching calamity there for a while. But man, I’ll take it. The Minnesota memories had been haunting me all week. Happy to escape with the dub.
