Itstrainingtime

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!

How undisciplined can a team be?

Sunny and 70 here in Pittsburgh. Perfect fall day.

Haha! I thought the same thing, but in this case he might be right.

That resembles (but is still less) than WPC's updated map, which took a big step back with their latest update.

Latest Euro:

I love me a rainy Sunday in the fall. Football, chilly and darkness. I'll be in Pittsburgh at the Steelers game and will be anxious to see/hear what happens back this way as I won't be home until later Monday. FWIW, Elliott isn't expecting much rain at all here, and probably little to none on Sunday itself: https://www.millersville.edu/weathercenter/forecasts/weather-discussion.php

Thank you! My low was 37 at home. No frost in the yard or in my immediate area but I saw plenty down in Manor Township on my way to work.

I'm getting a massive refund for my game 5 tickets plus I also had game 1 of the NLCS and game 4 of the WS. Horrific way to lose, and a colossal waste of tremendous starting pitching. You cannot ask for anything more from the Phillies starters. They should collectively sue for malpractice. On to Penn State! Oh...hold the thought on that...

I don't really remember the 1972 event. I would have been 7 at the time and was well in tune with the weather. Maybe we didn't have any here in Lanco? 1979 I remember VERY well. Standing at the bus stop with snow falling and a dusting on the ground. Even though I was 14, that's still too young to really appreciate how novel of an event that was. The Orioles-Pirates World Series game in Baltimore was postponed that night due to wintry weather.

I was thinking about this on my way to work this morning. I'm usually a couple of degrees higher than a lot in here, I am hoping to break 40 but have a feeling that my low will be 40.1.

What about the vegetation though?

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