Atomixwx Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Throwing in the white flag Yankees and the entire AL can and will beat the Phillies. It was fun! Phillies feasted on a laughably weak schedule and avoided injury for the better part of the season meanwhile down south their division counterparts have basically experienced a weekly plane crash while playing a much more difficult schedule. And now they're dealing with injuries at the same time as an uptick in difficulty. Meanwhile the Mets have been the NL's best team since sometime in June. The Phillies will quite probably be able to coast to a division crown, but they're going to need to be more convincing than 2-4 against the Braves in season to have anyone threatened. Especially the Dodgers. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the NL is up for grabs this season. The Dodgers just upgraded like crazy but I don't think they have the DNA needed to carry it through as evidenced by close to a decade of bottling it, Mickey Mouse season notwithstanding. The Mets are all-in on a shock rebuilding year, the Phillies have been the top of the chain all season but their flaws may be exposed, the NL Central is, well, the NL Central, and the Braves have been rolling out an AAAA lineup since May and the MLB caliber players they have, Ozuna aside, are playing like minor leaguers. I think anybody within striking distance of the playoffs could win the pennant this year. But a few moves that transpired yesterday bring some pause to my thoughts on that...There's an honest to god legitimate threat from the unlikeliest of places: Pittsburgh. They have a very, very good starting rotation. Their bullpen is more than passable and in picking up Bryan de la Cruz and IKF yesterday, they now have the bats needed to do some damage. If they take the leash off of Skenes and he stays healthy, that division series at a best-of-five is going to hit different when it rolls into the blackout that will be PNC.Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man...that would put MLB in an almost "must watch" position for the first time in years. And yeah...I have Keller on my fantasy team. What an absolute unknown stud #2 starter.

Jns2183 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 In 2020 a lot of people up the hill from me, where city water stops, had to redrill wells. The question I have is if this dryness is part of a long cycle or a permanent shift. Looking at top years it's pretty similar to Harrisburg. Looking at whole history they are about 37.5" vs 39" per year. Looking at 2000 forward is where a difference has been. 35" vs 44.5". If anything Harrisburg has been twice as abnormally wet as Hagerstown has been abnormally drySent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGR was not around in the 1800's. If we moved Krou 5 miles East I would have mowed a lot more the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[mention=4667]Jns2183[/mention] the other issue is when either site moved and how often. HGR was not around in the 1800's. If we moved Krou 10-15 miles East I would have mowed a lot more the last 5 years. 1899 was first year they have records at Hagerstown. That's why I limited my comparison at KMDT to 1899 to present. And right I have no idea of the past history of where the sites were. And I also suspect that you're unique location in the valley further throws a wrench into comparations. I'll have to look at the climate data depot to see if there are any past co-op observations from your area. Also, it seems this summer that if you were 5-10 miles west, closer to Waynesboro you would have a lot more rainSent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just west of Waynesboro has scored this summer but that has not been a constant over the last few years...whereas the motion of rising air then descending air has dumped on the Eastern Side of the mountain I am on. I am not in the valley. I am about 1/5-1/6 of the way up the mountain. It rises fast if I take a left out my road. I am about 300' higher than Waynesboro.

Usually in locations with a mostly west component to their wind, the western slopes do a lot better than east facing slopes. Are you on the west facing slope?Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is just 10-15 miles to my west is another mountainous area, so storms roll over McConnellsburg and down the mountain into Greencastle and dump sometimes....then disappear mostly before they get here. I do better if the moisture is coming from the SW vs. the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jns2183 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I looked at wunderground station in Waynesboro 24.18"Fairfield 33.59"So it seems the issue is as microscale as it can get down there.

I'm at 23.91"KMDT 26.49" is actually highest out last 5 years and 11 highest in last 25KCXY 24.11. Highest out of last 5, 9th highest out of last 24 years. Also they had 0.76" in July. Record for lowest ever in July and 27th lowest month out of 907 months of records. I was amazed that there were 26 lower months, let alone the fact that they were a number of 3-month periods with lower rain than that.
