Itstrainingtime

Good god is Melissa a beast right now.

Coldest temp of the season this morning here in Maytown, checking in at 33.4 degrees First frost of the season here at my house, and it was a doozy. Solid blanket of white. Interestingly, I saw no other frost outside of Maytown on my way to work. It's been the exact opposite several times over the past few weeks. Had to scrape my car windows before leaving for work. No, I do not start my car and go back in the house. I like to be out and scrape. (with the engine defrosting)

Yeah, that's unacceptable. It was a comfortable 61 in our house this morning.

Now that all of the corn has been husked the heat can radiate out efficiently at night.

I mean, I really do understand. And I sympathize especially with people that suffer from seasonal depression. For me, the onset of longer nights symbolizes the beginning of the holidays and our "snow season." Also helps me transition from lightweight athletic shorts to something more appropriate for the season...lightweight athletic shorts. (with a light hoodie)

This makes me smile. Love it!

.13" of rain fell last evening. .72" since Sunday PM.

I wasn't following NWS today but MU was calling for showers between 5pm and 1am.

Nice shower moving through here. About a tenth of an inch.

.58" of rain here in Maytown.

Welp. I was wrong. Tough game to lose after leading throughout.

Great drive. Ran the ball down their throat.

Sneaky run at 80 tomorrow east of the river.

I couldn't agree more. But we both might be sinking tonight.

There is no real good reason for me to feel the way I do much less say this...I think Penn State is going to Iowa City and winning tomorrow night. Gut feeling, we're going to see the team that we thought we were going to see back on August 30th but never materialized. I think it'll be close and the Lions pull it off with a late turnover. I'm in a pick em' league here at work - it's both NFL and NCAA. We have 24 in the group. Last night, 23 had the Steelers, 1 had the Bungles. Guess who had Cincinnati? I will gladly accept whatever wrath I deserve following tomorrow night's game.

That's awesome!

I knew what his last post said. I haven't gotten it out of my mind since he posted. Horribly sad.

I remember his tone wasn't positive about his long range outlook. I've been thinking and concerned about him a lot ever since.

Think our local guy down here is going to go the same route...he's already hinted at the continuation of drought and said we have a well below normal chance of a big dog snowstorm. We shall see. It only takes a couple of well-timed systems to muck up an extended outlook.

I am so ready for a wintry scene outside. Beggars can't be choosy but since I'm not begging I'll elect to choose a nice, solid snow cover from late December that lasts into the beginning of 2026. Give me a white landscape for a few weeks during minimal sun angle with long nights and I'd be happy as a fiddle.

Storm total rainfall at my casa was 1.01".

Back home. 56 with moderate rain. .52" so far. After being on the far low end the past couple of events this is very welcome to see.

Yeah, I have no idea who Kraft will look for. I feel like it might end up being someone not on everyone's radar right now. Just a hunch.

Never ceases to amaze me...every year we come out here to Pittsburgh for a Steelers weekend and the number of people wearing PSU gear is at least double over Pitt. I did get some ribbing today from a few Pitt fans about Franklin...they had no idea how happy I am.

Yeah much needed win in the RRR. Congrats!
