    The obvious answer is no, that would be Alex Trebek. The greatest, and he’s Canadian.

    I think Aaron took a few days to grow into the role, but he was a 75 degree late August day with a dewpoint of 48 when he settled in.

    Still think we make 86-87, we’re still running a degree or two ahead of yesterday at nearly every hour.

    That’s the thing here is it handled this week’s pattern well, but next week’s pattern is completely different (more moisture being the key difference), so we can’t just assume it will be king again.

    I’m inclined to believe the CMC, it’s the hot hand (literally and figuratively) at the moment. That said, it does break down the ridge a little bit.
  6. TimB
    We’ll see what the CMC thinks momentarily.

    Those Friday afternoon temperatures look fun.

    Too soon. Oh wait, that would be 1991, not 1992 since it was at home. The series where we scored 12 runs in 7 games. God, being a Pirates fan is painful even in the good years (see also, 2014 and 2015). The only moment of joy I can recall as a Pirates fan is the Cueto game. Everything else is pain.

    Needs to take his melatonin and quercetin supplements and get his resting heart rate down to 17.

    To quote myself from 5/13... “that timeframe” is now. Guess which model handled this pattern best?

    Ironically, the Pirates probably have a winning record in games I’ve attended (though it’s too many to keep track). One year they went 6-0 in games I went to. Weather-related edit: one of those games was rescheduled to a weekday afternoon game that I took off work for, due to the second rainiest day in Pittsburgh’s history excluding tropical systems (3.43” on 9/29/15).

    Been to two regular season Steelers games in my life, both in the Cowher era and both at Three Rivers. One was a 27-9 loss to the Bengals, the other was an overtime loss to the Eagles where they blew a 10 point lead in the closing minutes. Haven’t been since, except for a preseason game a few years back.

    Believe me, you’re preaching to the choir here. I don’t see it that way either, but some might.

    I think the idea of that person’s comment was that someone who is prone to gambling but hesitant to get the vaccine (which is probably a large overlap, because not getting the vaccine means gambling with your life) might get the vaccine for the sole purpose of being entered in this lottery. Still, I have no problem with it, because getting vaccinated isn’t an “agenda.”

    Well my thought of reaching 88 today didn’t happen. I’ll bet we top out at 86, maybe 87 tomorrow.

    The only scary view here is the WSJ’s ludicrous and baseless accusation that anyone who believes climate change is real is comparing climate deniers to Holocaust deniers.

    This fact is also conveniently ignored by some when trying to say that states with particular political leanings have done better with covid than others. I’m glad we didn’t see how, say, Florida would have performed if they got their surge last March.
  18. TimB
    Easier for covid not to spread rampantly and not overwhelm the hospitals in states with very low population density like those five, as compared to NY or CA.

    Temps only soar around here when they have the chance to change a winter storm to rain, you know this.

    Hence the reason it’s spent so much time at the top of the page. Most boring spring in history for almost the entire country.

    Didn’t even have to read this sentence to guess which 5 states it was.

    88 seems a bit ambitious now, would take 6 degrees from here on. We should reach 83 this afternoon for the first time since 9/10/2020 (251 days is good for 14th all time). Of note, both times in the 1900s that we hit 103 followed a cold season that was on this list, which is almost certainly a coincidence, given the sample size, but...
  23. TimB
    Morning lows have run cooler than forecast by several degrees too, which is gladly welcomed. That’ll change as dewpoints rise the next few days.
  24. TimB
    I don’t look at the HRRR much besides winter and severe, and beyond that I’m no expert by any stretch, but the past few times we’ve had these cold to warm transitions this spring it’s done better than most. But the NWS seems to have us in the 84-85 range today with their forecast, so there’s some spread.

    Just to clarify, I was never stating that the booster was simply a means for Pfizer to profit off of this thing, or that they intentionally made the vaccine in such a way that they could “milk the cow” for annual profits. Boosters are a normal thing for many vaccines and it was always likely we would need one. My issue was the optics of the person making the announcement being one of the people who stands to profit the most in the long run and how the general public would take it.
