Very true! Truth is, if I was going to be outside on a day like today for an extended period of time OR sitting at a football game, I would layer up. By far the best and most comfortable way to go.
This really is true. My parents lived in Alaska for years and while I did not, I think I definitely have my dad's tolerance for cold weather genes. After the great 1978 Blizzard I remember him outside in a tee shirt. I joined him. Mom had other ideas and insisted that I get all bundled up...when I got back outside, dad told me that I was to shovel the bottom of our driveway. That was out of sight to mom.
Enola Low Grade Trail is fully exposed to the sun from late morning on. It was quite breezy but not on the level I thought it would be. It really wasn't that bad.
Just back from a pleasant lunchtime walk along the river below Washington Boro. Amazing how quickly the river iced over during the past 24 hours. Yesterday morning the channel was 100% clear.
This makes me sad:

Today, 5:00 PM sunsets return in Harrisburg and York! In Lancaster, the sun sets at 5:00 PM again on Saturday. Not until November 5, 2025, will there be a sunset earlier than 5:00 PM.
There were a lot of people (including various mets) as far back as last winter flat out saying that the winter of 2024-25 would be non-existent and that everyone should resign themselves to just looking ahead to next winter.
Based on what was said, this winter has been a pleasant surprise so far. And more to come.
I don't like to make predictions for my sports teams, PSU football in particular. I will say this - I do think if PSU wins it will be by 3-6 points. If ND wins it will be by 10-14 points. I also think that if we can figure out how to start well for once our chance of winning goes way up. Get ahead, force their QB to throw/move around and our defense can feast. However, if ND sets the tempo early...
From Merriam Webster:
"The National Weather Service will; at it's discretion, issue a Cold Weather Advisory to help dumba**'s understand that cold weather is coming."
