I won't get to watch a snap of the game, unfortunately. 

So as a diehard PSU fan...we're screwed.

That is not correct.   It is frequently rounded. 

You can keep saying it but you're wrong. The 2:56 pm observation is a METAR report, not a raw 5-minute report [which are reported every five minutes beginning at the top of the hour]. The raw readings are based on the temperature rounded to the nearest degree Celsius, and then converted to Fahrenheit, which is why they can vary +/- 1F from what is reported.

METAR observations, on the other hand, report the temperature to the nearest decimal degree Celsius. In this case, the actual [non-rounded] temperature is 27.8C, which converts to 82F. If you still want to persist in your folly, I will bet you $1,000,000 that the high for the day at MDT is at least 82F.

I corrected my original post to say that I misunderstood your assertion.  I thought you were saying all the reports were metar.    I corrected it before your reply so your internet tough guy routine did not gauge my correction though I did not mean to sound harsh in my response, you did not explain your assertion very well to pinpoint the time.

Thank you for the clarification.  No need to be obnoxious about it.

After reviewing everything, I think he is right. I did not know the :56 readings were not rounded.  With that said, I would gladly have paid $100 to have MDT come in at 81 for the day.  A profit of $999,000.

Happy Halloween! I’m almost sweating over here at our friends’ house giving out candy to hundreds of kids. But it’s a beautiful night!

Harrisburg’s 82 today was a record high. 
 

Ir’s still 80 at 7 pm

I see our chance of rain early tomorrow is basically dead.  Cool, cool.

Will it rain before Thanksgiving?

Maybe our next measurable precip will be snow in a few weeks.

Me thinks he just gave up that his insider info comes from direct messages originating in Marysville. 

Lol, there must be another poster from Marysville!

My forecast for the Winter has not yet been issued…

But, I like this wild insider info for sure.
