Most rain at my casa in a very long time. Right now I'm at 3.73". Still some bands of convective showers moving up out of MD. Feeling greedy and hoping to reach 4".
Their expected rainfall for PA has been reduced on each of the last 4 cycles they've put out. Discouraging. Yesterday morning, the entire southern half of PA was in the 1.5"+ area. (purple shading)
Please, please win tonight. I have tickets to the Division Series, NLCS and World Series. I'd like to get down to at least 1 or 2 more games.
I'm ready for the weekend. 80s in October are no bueno to me. But, it's to be expected, so there's that.
I think it's probably a good bet that winter will average out AN. Certainly warmer than last winter was, unfortunately.
Hopefully we can time up the southern jet stream with temps "just cold enough" to bury us in white gold at some point.
Also - we still have a hummingbird in our back yard!!!
Completed a bucket list wish of mine yesterday that was only possible if things aligned together perfectly - I attended 2 MLB games in 2 cities in 2 separate states on the same day. I was in Baltimore to watch the Orioles beat Toronto at 12:35pm, got in my car and drove to Philly to see the Brewers beat the Phils last evening at 6:40pm. Finished the year seeing 37 games across 5 different venues.
My wife has a few videos she took in our backyard yesterday of "our" female hummingbird. We've seen her pretty much daily for quite a long time and have been assuming each day would be the last we'd see her, but to our delight she's still around. They're usually gone by the middle of September.
I'm really not interested in throwing anyone under the bus. I want to make sure that I'm handling myself appropriately. It's just hard knowing that stuff is going on that while not directed specifically at me, it's obvious that I'm the target. I only said what I said to explain why I don't say much anymore. Don't really wish to offend.
It's really difficult to post when someone (who used to be the most popular poster in this thread) continues to take passive aggressive cheap shots directed at me in other threads on the forum. All over the Day In The Life post 1.5 years ago. I apologized multiple times but to no avail. I never ever intended to hurt someone to the point that they would act like this.
