Yeah, the Steelers made sure his dad got to see him play, possibly for the last time, and he got to see his son get booed. I’ve been guilty of it at sporting events in the past (mostly directed toward refs), but I’ll think twice before ever doing it again. Time will tell if Pressley Harvin is an NFL caliber punter, but you just never know what someone is going through as a human being.
-
After hearing about Harvin’s dad being terminally ill and near death, I’m inclined to give the kid the benefit of the doubt. Not that the fans knew, but that booing looks really ugly now.

Was actually looking at some stats yesterday on this (for PIT), and just did the same for MDT. Looks like MDT dropped to 22 today, the lowest of the season to date and quite possibly the lowest it’ll see before the new year. In MDT/Harrisburg’s history, this has happened 6 other times: 2015 (low of 25 through 12/31), 1923 (24), 1984 and 1918 (23), and 2012 and 1931 (22).

I’m starting to think my 21.9 (you know what I mean) is going to bust way high.
-
If you look at 6z you’ll want to go back to bed.
-
Maybe it’s like the Space Race in the ‘60s. They had to beat the Euro to be the first global to produce 4 runs a day. And, like landing on the moon, it really doesn’t change much in practical terms.
-
Yeah, it’s just the 6z. They run that and the 18z just for fun.
-
Do we have a new contender for worst model run of the winter to date?
-
Realistically that’s probably accurate, regardless of what happened in March of 1993 or 2018. Even so, if I’m going to waste a month or DJF, I’d almost certainly choose December, other than the fact that there’s no guarantee only one month gets wasted.
-
Yeah, that’s 12/30, so the second to last play of the first quarter and we’re only down two scores. Plenty of time.
-
When it becomes the shorter range, your desired weather will win out. We know this.
-
Longer range GFS looks a lot better so far, for whatever that’s worth.
-
The normal high at MDT today is 42, so mid 40s would be seasonable.
-
I could live with a pause of fans, but my morale is already in the shitter at the moment and I’m sure there are many others who would say the same, and having distractions helps immensely.
-
In my opinion, one of the worst parts of the early days of the pandemic was not even having sports to take one’s mind off anything happening in the world. May we never forget how much that sucked. I certainly understand why they were shut down at that time, and they rightfully should have been, but there has to be some sort of balance now.
-
The problem I have is, it’s hard for me to appreciate the other 3 seasons much if at all if winter isn’t what I would consider adequate. It’s hard for me to get much below normal snowfall and then suffer through months and months of heat and humidity. But still plenty of time.
-
I’ve been negative lately, I’ll admit. Need to find that patience.
-
I don’t mean a pattern where the warm parts are 10-20 degrees above normal and the cold parts are merely seasonal, without even the threat of an advisory level snowfall or even an inch or two for that matter.
-
It’d be a LOT easier not to fret over stuff like this if there had been anything remotely resembling winter in the days and weeks leading up to it. That’s ultimately the issue here.
-
I would have also imagined that the part of the run where the 500 heights were well into the blue would produce BN temps here, but…
-
Hopefully the ensembles continue to look better than the rubbish the 12z GFS just spit out.
-
The CMC would like a word with you. Oh wait, it’s on something.
-
CMC ensemble looks good. GEFS 500 height anomaly is red over PA for much of its run.
-
Was going to say MDT gets about 6” of snow on the 0z but I see that’s all on the last day of the run and it’s the front end of a snow to rain system. And by then we’re up to the 35th day of winter.
-
(Big time clown map, but the 18z GFS ends like this.)
