Itstrainingtime

I hope you have a great time and enjoy the weather.

Not me - it seemed like the 70s and 80s had a lot of southern sliders. This is me - I'd rather State College get 12" of snow while I get 2" followed by a sloppy mess than watching Richmond get 12" while it's partly sunny here. At least with the first scenario, something is happening.

I hope we can run the football...

I've literally lost all faith in the Euro. Remarkable turnaround in a horrible way - there was a time not that long ago that when that combo was singing "Winter Wonderland" that it was time to wax the shovels...no more.

paweather is correct though - I was looking at the projected track from NHC this morning and thought the same thing...we'd get a couple of inches of slop followed by a wind-driven rain.

@Bubbler86 - OCMD is now under a Tropical Storm Warning.

I think this is actually a step back from the map that JNS posted late yesterday:

The trophy has my name permanently engraved...

Is this a joke?

Funny you mention this...I was just watching Rece Davis on ESPN and he was talking about bad weather affecting the White Out game. Just then, Lee Corso came on and said "not so fast...Bubbler said it's not going to rain"...

At least for now, WPC is throwing their dart much farther east:

Even for Lanco, MU only going with a 40% POP for Saturday.

That's what I was saying earlier in the summer - my AC is running regardless, so I'm only noticing any real difference during the daytime. And this summer's daytime highs weren't bad at all. Now, when the normal low in January is 24 and it only gets down to 32...I notice.

Orioles with win #50 on the road last night. That might be the most impressive stat of all this year, and heading into the postseason it's reassuring that this team knows how to win away from Camden Yards.

In Lancaster, June was 1.45 BN followed by July and August which both were at a +1 - +3 AN. Pretty much right in line with Checo's maps above. For 2023, the alarming departures were over the winter, with January running at nearly a +10 followed by a +9 for February. All of that data, whether it was very close to normal (this summer) or WAY above normal (this past winter) still came back to one general theme - the devil in the details has been our nighttime lows. It just does not cool off at night like it once did.

I hope the weather is glorious in OCMD. Skee-Ball is fun though!

(channels wintertime speak) I read in the MA thread that the Euro Ensembles are way west of the OP.

I didn't say I was asking for this to happen.

Latest WPC map backs significant rains a bit farther west:

MU on the weekend: By Friday night and Saturday, my attention will turn toward the southeastern U.S. coastline for possible tropical development. An old, washed-out, and quasi-stationary frontal boundary over the Florida Peninsula could serve as the breeding ground for this potential tropical cyclone. Disturbances that move east-or-northeastward along these stalled fronts often tap into the deep, tropical moisture available in the Bahamas and/or Gulf of Mexico and become more organized. Sometimes, they eventually obtain tropical characteristics and are then named by the National Hurricane Center. In this case, the disturbance of interest is currently quite disorganized and located over the south-central Gulf of Mexico. By Thursday, it will exit off the east coast of the Florida Peninsula and then move slowly north-or-northeastward off the southeastern U.S. and Carolina coastlines through Friday night or Saturday. If the disturbance becomes a tropical storm on Friday or over the weekend, it would likely acquire the name "Ophelia." Numerical computer models are notoriously bad at handling the timing, track, and intensity of such disturbances, so it's no surprise that a broad range of outcomes are currently on the table. Some models simulate rapid intensification and a landfall near the North Carolina/South Carolina border sometime between late Saturday morning and Saturday night, while others suggest a weaker system and track along or just off the Carolina coastline. In the first case, the weakening, remnant low pressure system would likely reach northern MD and southern PA by Sunday or Monday, but rainy and windy conditions could arrive as early as late Saturday morning or early afternoon. The rest of the weekend would also turn out cool, damp, and dreary with showers or periods of rain persisting through Sunday and perhaps even into Monday. In the worst-case scenario, winds could gust as high as 40 mph later Saturday through Saturday night with up to 3-5" of rain falling through early next week. However, the second case mentioned above would result in an entirely different outcome in this weekend's weather. Instead of a washout, Saturday could just turn out cloudy and a bit cooler with intermittent showers or a brief period of steadier, light rain before drier, brighter and warmer conditions return on Sunday. At this point, either solution.. or anything in between.. are equally as likely. The strength and speed of a cold frontal boundary diving southward out of eastern Canada will be a key factor in determining the track of the potential tropical system. A weaker, slower front would give the system more leeway to track farther north and west, while a stronger, faster front would suppress the system and kick it out-to-sea more quickly. Check back in late this week for an update! -- Elliott

There is more room to spread out on the Enola trail and it is very flat (old railroad bed) but the one up north is our "go to" (though I'm only 2 miles away) and is loved by most users. Just be aware that some bicyclists don't seem to understand that it's a multi-use trail and will ride at Tour de France speeds amongst strollers, pedestrians, etc. It is a gorgeous place to walk!

Oh, I'm serious. And it was a blatant omission from my post. Now, I will say that she offered her Oriole Fandom to me. Perhaps in part because my office is a shrine to the team and I wear a lot of Orange and Black O's polos to work. I had to ask about football. Also...it's still very much baseball season in Balmer!

Some team from the Metroplex in Texas? Well I thought that but her 6 year old son is named Camden.
