Meanwhile, in Marysville:

Let's go Fly Guys! Never would have thought they would be where they are this season. Win or lose a good season for them and a stepping stone in the right direction moving forward.

Yep, that's my mentality pretty much. Just a little frustrating to see them own a playoff position for 65+ games this season and then lose it in the final weeks.

Bigger picture, though...

I was waiting for months for this team to implode and it got to the point where I was starting to think that it wouldn't...and then it did anyway.

Freaking Red Wings...ugh. That was crushing last night. 

Then again - when you go winless for 8 consecutive games, you kind of deserve to be in the position the Flyers face.

Lol.   Flyers still have a shot.  They need a regulation win tomorrow and no points from the Pens or Wings.  If Caps are up by 1 with even 6-7 min left, Flyers pull their goalie really early.  Caps playing back to back is tough.   I have seen lower league teams start a period with their goalie pulled so who knows what Torts tries if needed.

Correct - Flyers will lose tonight 11-1 as Torts yanks Ersson from goal at the 7:52 mark of the 2nd period.

Almost forgot to add, I got .36" from that rogue cell yesterday afternoon.  I'm now at 5.53" for the month. 

Nice! You got more from one cell than I did from two combined.

Everyone won tonight.  Crazy.

Red Wings come back from the dead. What a finish to the season unfolding.

Looks like I'll be watching the playoffs in relax mode. LOL

What is his call for caps/philly tomorrow?  Lol

The way he's trending, hopefully it's Washington.

Today was BY FAR the warmest day on the entire 12Z GFS until the last day of April.     Popped to 84 in Rou today. 

MU is going to bust pretty hard this week...

Picked up .32" of totally unexpected rainfall today.

After a brief break, storm #2 is now underway. 

Thunder in Maytown.

Missing storms at home?

I had the same thing in northern York. Could hear the wind coming. All the winds in the past year never moved my kid’s trampoline, mind you it’s tied to a massive log. It lifted the trampoline until it broke the rope tossed it about 20 to 30 feet in the air. I ran out to secure it so it didn’t hit the house as I did so stuff blew over my Neighbors house to the left, then switched and started blowing over my neighbors house to the right.  Tossed my chairs all around by the fire pit. Not sure what it was but was very strong and swirled. Heard sirens for the next 15 minutes non stop. Bunch of trees down and one landed on a car that was driving. This was between ski roundtop and Pinchot lake. 

Yeah...I remember you saying last night how bad it was. Skipped right over here evidently. I got 2 crazy but short downpours and that was it.

Low of 57 and .17" of rainfall here.  Got all my hedge trimming done yesterday.  Plus, sawed up a huge pine limb that had fallen during one of the previous storms and did some grass patchwork.  I'll mow later today.

Man, I was taken aback by the winds that rolled through here around 9 last night.  Some of the strongest I've ever seen or heard around our new place.  Intense and swirling.  Immediately there were sirens to be heard coming from everywhere and friends were texting about how crazy it was.  I wasn't expecting it at all because everything I had heard from local Mets was that the parameters weren't there for severe down our way.  I'm actually about to check the property for any damage.

The highest wind gust here on my weather station (in Mount Joy) was 21. 

It was far windier in Maytown all afternoon than it was last evening. Nothing to note at all with that.

@Mount Joy Snowman - must have been somewhat isolated? I did not see anything out of the ordinary on my drive to Conestoga this morning. I don't recall even seeing any debris at all. 

Ended up getting .26" of rain last night. No storm but some of the rain survived it this far SE.

Troegs in Hershey is serving "em up hard and fast today.  14 percenter on the menu.   Canderson is in Texas otherwise I would be looking for him right now.

Perfect pregame stop. Enjoy the game.

Threat for any damaging or tornadic stronger storms will be  near to north of I-80. The modeled line clearly weakens as it moves SE between I-80 and I-78. South of I-78 here in Chester County the storms or what's left of them will be showers at most.

Our thread includes people who live in that area...

Party Sunny and 75 at 1:15pm.

@Itstrainingtime our hockey teams do not deserve a playoff spot at this point (IMO) but the massive number of 3-point games happening down the stretch is also a major factor in pushing them out.  

 

Edit-Of course Iran attacking Israel overshadows anything like hockey.  

Well stated on all accounts. 

Picked up .15" of rain overnight. Total rainfall for Thursday - Friday was 1.04"

Steve - so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. My heart goes out to you now.

Raining again - going to end up right around 1" for the event.

I was hoping it wouldn't rain for another week so I could plow my garden which is located in the bottom lands next to the creek. It will take awhile to dry out again.

You're not kidding. That's one thing that stood out to me on my drive to work this morning - even though the rainfall amounts overnight weren't earth-shattering, there is water lying everywhere. There's no room for it to go right now.

Losing streak over.  The Caps and Flyers last several weeks are about as bad as it comes trying to get a spot.  And the Pens and Wings tied which is worst case...3 points instead of 2. 

Flyers made their bed - they were firmly in control of their destiny and let it slip away. I'd like to see them beat the Devils tomorrow and then see how significant the final game becomes against your team.

Low of 60 with .41" of rain.  Sitting at 60/58 with more rain on the doorstep.  Squeezed in a quick mini-mow yesterday of some of the thicker spots.

You were just a hair east last night and missed out on my training time - I had nearly an inch, my cousin in Washington Boro recorded 1.13".
