WmsptWx Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I think until there is a giant shakeup in the Pacific, our weather is our weather. There doesn't seem to be a lot of difference so far in the "triple dip," and if anything, at least in my neck of the nape, nape of the woods, it's been warmer and less snowy than the previous seasons. The cold, this coming front notwithstanding, has been progged to be impressive, but mutes as it arrives and it's cold but not too cold, and sometimes it's still close to average. The warm is warm, but not torch. We're kinda just... luke.And until the big change happens, whenever that is, not a long else will.

No denying bud. Just stating that there is no big signal for anomalous warmth. Obviously we are anxious for the goods to come, but its not a close the blinds for 3 week kind deal. Thats all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Allow me to digress for a moment - really having a mixed emotions kind of day. Today my work team is celebrating the holidays with a catered luncheon, a day that in the past I've always looked forward to with excitement. Unfortunately, the day began with some terribly sad news. I "met" #32 back in the early 90s at Beaver Stadium. I was at the USC-PSU game with a friend of a friend kind of thing, and he was telling me about these very special seats that he had. (season ticket holder) At any rate, a few minutes prior to kickoff, here come Franco into the row directly in front of us. In fact, Franco's seat was directly in front of me. When PSU scored, Franco stood, turned, and gave me a high five. I thought that was kinda cool. A moment I'll never forget. A really, really good person whose time came far too soon. RIP #32. You will be missed. 1 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be missed. Beautifully said. This is consuming a lot of the talk at work here today. And to think today is also Joe Pa's birthday, for whom Franco was one of the greatest advocates. It's also the week Franco was to have his jersey retired along with the 50th anniversary celebration of the immaculate reception. Just awful timing. So sad and sudden. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad news, especially on this anniversary of the catch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that he was giving public tours of the Steelers Hall of Fame yesterday afternoon.

WmsptWx Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Until about two hours ago, my attitude towards Franco Harris was to curse him for a ball he never caught. This attitude was always met with some hesitation because I grew up in the shadow of Mount Nittany. This one kinda sucks.

kerplunk Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Franco and Lydel were freshman my freshman year at PSU. Got to see them both play in person all 4 years. What a pair of backs! Was just commenting with an old classmate about how the new pair of frosh backs reminded us of those two Of course, Franco went on to future greatness. His early death is a tradgedy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasnownut Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Steelers were my first favorite team, thanks to Franco, Swann, Bradshaw, Stallworth and Mean Joe. Had their poster on my bedroom wall. RIP Franco. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just in time for the Christmas holiday, Roundtop has announced it's opening on Saturday for the season. They've made a lot of snow the past few nights, and they'll be blowing 24/7 starting Friday right on through the weekend. They should have a really good base to mitigate the warm spell approaching New Year's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I foresee less than a half inch total for my neck of the woods. Nothing on the front end but I do think we see our first flakes fly on the back-end frontal action, albeit with limited accumulations due to the rapidly drying atmospheric layers. Not out of the question that some in here experience brief blizzard conditions with the backend snows and howling winds. Cheers to those in the money. As always, I hope to be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
