What about the vegetation though?

Man, a lot of you got over 1" more of rain than I did. Impressive totals from Harrisburg north.

Haha! All I know is when she was over at our place this past weekend she told my wife and I she was going to Marysville on Wednesday and Thursday this week. I yelled "Blizz!" in response.

Thought of you yesterday...my daughter has her own wedding planning business, and she has a rehearsal today and wedding tomorrow in Marysville.

Just .24" of rain in Maytown. Disappointing, but per MU's thoughts yesterday, not a surprise.

Snippet from Elliott's discussion today - this seems a good bit earlier than most years if it materializes: Thursday will be the coolest day since late May despite abundant sunshine. It won't be as windy as tomorrow, but a north-northeasterly breeze of 8-16 mph will make the outdoor air feel even chillier. I then expect the first widespread frost of the season across northern MD and the Lower Susquehanna Valley Thursday night. A Canadian high pressure system will settle into southern New England and northern PA late this week and promote efficient, radiational cooling after sunset. Winds will be very light or calm Thursday night, and dewpoints should be in the upper 20s to low 30s under clear skies. Temperatures often bottom out near the dewpoint on clear, crisp fall nights, and this case should be no exception. In fact, temperatures may bottom out between 30-32°F in the deepest valleys and most outlying areas early Friday morning. They'll be significantly higher (38-40°F) in urban centers such as York, Lancaster and Harrisburg. In the majority of locations, lows will range from 32-36°F (see below). Regardless, the frost will likely put an end to the growing season in most spots, so bring tender plants/vegetation inside or apply a protective covering over them Thursday evening.

Morning GFS has a huge coastal storm this upcoming weekend. Unfortunately, not much in the way of rainfall makes it west of I95 for now.

The seed for today was sewn in the first couple of weeks. A couple of uninspiring wins against vastly inferior competition left me feeling like what we're witnessing now was inevitable.

LOL. A winless team is toying with James.

I get it...but I want fall to feel like...fall. I want to sit down on a dark, cool Sunday afternoon with a bowl of chili watching the NFL games. I want to sit in my backyard in the evening with a sweatshirt on by my campfire. And it's gotta be pretty chilly for me to be wearing a sweatshirt.

I'm flummoxed by the state of Penn State Football. Last year, much was made about the passing game, specifically the lack of receptions by our wideouts. We go out and bring in 3 guys via the portal. Great. And yet, our passing game has become more anemic than ever. How in the hell does Kyron Hudson get shutout in prime time? Like seriously...how does this happen? The offensive line - they can't provide enough space for Singleton or Allen to do much of anything. Two really good backs who have no where to run far too often. Franklin. You know, you listen to Ryan Day, you listen to Dan Lanning, you listen to Kirby Smart, you listen to the head coach of every top team in the country and they talk about winning a national title. James Franklin talks about fan's expectations. He talks about the importance of being included in the conversation as being one of the top teams in the country. He doesn't talk about titles. It's like he knows he's an outside and he wants to be included in the "cool kids club" and that's good enough for him. It's not exactly a winning mentality. This team has a chance at being one of the most overrated preseason picks in recent memory. Though, they won't be on FSU's level last year, but you almost can count the Columbus school as loss, at Iowa seems scary right now, and can this team score enough against Indiana? I don't want to overreact but how good is this team, really? It's not like they lit the world on fire playing their first 3 games against teams that ranked 136 out of 136 on strength of schedule. Vent/discuss/counterpoint here.

It sure was. An absolute dime.

I was his biggest supporter until the last few games of last year. I was wrong.

I'm searching for a positive and it's really hard to find one right now.

It is open...

Looks like some true Autumnal weather arrives later next week - highs in the 50s to mid 60s with lows in the 30s to mid 40s.

Penn State!

If this was snow, weenies would be lined up on the Harvey Taylor:

This looks about right:

3-day total of 1.14" here in Maytown.

Here it comes: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=CCX-N0B-1-24-100-usa-rad

Yeah, Elliott has been saying that today was going to be relatively dry followed by the best opportunity all week for rain overnight tonight into tomorrow.

Finished with .33" of rain at home. Hoping everyone gets wet tomorrow.

And it looks like stuff coming in from York might add to your total.
