Monken leaving is not a good thing.

He wasn't saying that--he left out a comma (or maybe a dash?), lol He meant "The best thing going for us--Monken--is most likely leaving"

I’m not sure if you misread my post, but what you said makes absolutely no sense. I guess I didn’t put a comma after Monken so you misunderstood what i was saying. I’m saying Monken is the best thing we have going for us, and now he is gone.

A grammarian case study: Punctuation matters!

@Eskimo Joe can anyone who has vested weather interest participate in the co-op program? What are property requirements & things like that? I'm just curious since I know you've played a big part locally.

The co-op program is fading it seems. A lot of the co-op people were farmers that are aging out the system. You could reach out to NWS State College and ask them if you could become one. Another program worth investigating is CoCoRAHS.

I sit on an acre here, wasn't sure if there were property reqs or if one is nearby they wouldn't need the redundancy. I am familiar with CoCo for the most part. You might know him, we knew Brad terpguy who was a big cocorahs advocate.

There is no minimum space requirement. State College WFO may want/need a site there. I would encourage you to reach out them. As a Co-Op person in Baltimore County (ID: RSTM2) I wholeheartedly endorse the program.

Ah, so inaccurate thermometers are the new underwater volcanoes. 

Its a lost cause. It’s like the “do your own research” people.  They find some rando online saying some BS and think “I found something every scientist and expert missed and now I know more about this than everyone who do this as a profession”. Good luck arguing with that level of monumental stupidity.

Well, they are +2000 odds now at the half so why not put 2$ on the comeback to pay 40$?

welp - it was a great season.

Its not often you see WHITE snow/sleet radar elements developing over south central Texas.

Luckily for us:

Should be transitory and light, only about an inch.

Tomorrow 37 degrees should melt it good. 

Not so lucky for us will be frigid lows around 13 tomorrow night with refreezing. I really wish I had not been laughing at people slippin on ice on YouTube. Karma can be a brutal b!tch. I gotta walk the damn dog tomorrow night. Pavement will be a world-class Olympic ice rink and I am no longer young nor can I dance on the ice like Michael Jackson. I'll fall and I will go down, HARD!

Look out middle Gulf Coast! They could get slammed with a foot of snow. But we have upper 60s to look forward to come Saturday and Sunday.

Will do. I mean there are a few quite local in the actual asos/awos network. RSP, Camp David, I think even raven rock has a code?

I’m in Barnes Corners for this LES event. Fortunately, under a meso discussion for 2-3” per hour rates. It’s verifying - great storm so far. Let’s see if I can stay under this band.

That'll wrap it up. Good game and good playoffs. I like the new format personally.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a 16 game playoff in a few years. 
 

I also wonder if conference title games will be changing too.
