Now? I roll out of bed at 7:15 and log onto work in my knickers. Depressing, really ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has only come on once or twice today but it is on right now. LOL I got home yesterday at 5pm and the temp inside was 71. I was aghast. Neither the heat or the AC was on, but that lasted all of 5 seconds. I had it down to 65 in a matter of minutes. In all seriousness - if I didn't have the AC running on a day like today, it would easily be 75-77 inside by evening. I have a lot of east and south facing windows.

Well not next week but the first week of April. Frankly I think the GFS looks workable for 3-4 days after that weekend. The trough is too far off the coast but its also 300 hours out.

anotherman Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Time to move on. At this point, I am beyond tracking snowstorms. I just hope it stays in the 40s, 50s, and 60s before the inevitable torch from May through September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat breakfast (granola bars and juice) at my desk and take care of overnight emergencies first (did the Euro move north, south, east, or west, and what did the 6z NAM show) before moving on to less important, work-related activities. This is me - shower at night, eat yogurt at my desk. I'm only the office now once/week thank goodness! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a friend between there and Lancaster wanting to go to NYC but Lancaster has no real parking ... I never pay attention to the Mount Joy "station" when we make that brief stop from HBG. Middletown just opened a new station with MUCH more parking, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire area (parking, platform, and access) was completely revamped in the past few years. It's a very nice setup. It's also signed well for those who are new to using the station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as Training mentioned Mount Joy has ample parking, as it was remodeled right before we all got sent home for "15 days" haha. I will say, the borough was talking about charging for parking at the new station but I don't think they actually implemented anything, and even if they would there is plenty of free parking in residential areas around the station, much to the chagrin of the residents. It has a slightly limited schedule compared to Lancaster but otherwise is a much easier place to go out of, highly recommend. I knew Middletown was getting a new station but have yet to see it. I do miss the train sometimes, riding along the river and seeing the early morning fishermen. Relaxes the soul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean are you spending that time in the morning outside and doing casual stuff or having fun? That's more my point lol. I'd rather have extra sunlight in the evening to do more stuff outside. Like imagine it's december and you got a really nice warm day but instead you got an extra hour of daylight instead when you get home from work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example, if we don't "spring" ahead, youth sports will take a hit We'd be permanently in spring ahead mode so it wouldn't effect that. I think it gets confusing when they say get rid of DST. We'd basically always be an hour forward year round instead of for half the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's a good point. I guess it just varies on what everyone's schedules are and what they're doing. I'm usually not up until late in the morning so I'm probably a bit bias lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
