Mount Joy Snowman

Well gents, I am back in the mowing club. After not mowing for the last ten years (HOA did lawns), I mowed at the new house and hot damn did it feel good. Good to be back in the saddle.

How ‘bout it. Crazy winds out in the midwest today.

It sure was. Could barely see on my drive though the farmlands to the Mount Joy train station. My car thermo also hit 39.

That’s about the only reason to pull for Houston ha.

Hmmmm curious, plenty of fog over this way, particularly near the ridges. Nothing like what Bubbler was describing but fog nonetheless. I must have missed most of the heavy stuff you got around midnight — .22” of total rain for this guy.

Haha well good on you. Numbers are more my language, although i have become quite the wordle/quordle aficionado.

Canderson be honest, did you have to look up how to spell kaleidoscope? Because I would have no earthly idea

Did we expect anything other? I’ve seen this movie too many times, sadly. The life of a sports fan….

I’d laugh if it wasn’t so sad. Hey we’re in it and that’s more than I would have thought. Now, does the usual 4th quarter onslaught ensue??

"cloudy but bright still" is a great way of describing how most of the day has been.

Bahahaha I hear ya but yes I was actually in the 'Beav that night. I've watched that clip so many times I can hear the call perfectly in my head.

Thanks mate. Haven't moved in yet though. We close on Monday and then we'll gradually move in the weeks to follow. It's sure to be hectic but we're excited to get on with it. Have to get a fresh weather station for the new joint!

Amen to that. Maybe even a whiskey on the rocks kind of night, assuming the kids cooperate ha.

I'm just tired of them always being really really good ha. Man, they run such a football factory over there in C-bus. Been to road games there a couple times and let's just say their fans' reputation for not being the most hospitable is well deserved. Yes we have. In fact, I was on the field celebrating after the game where the infamous field goal block took place a few years ago.

That may be a bridge too far, to put it mildly haha, but I'll certainly be praying to the pigskin gods for such an outcome.

How 'bout it. The drive up to State College last weekend was stunning. I got an additional .06" yesterday, which fell in the morning shortly after I had left for work, bringing my four-day total to 2.18".

Skies have been trying to break a bit and sun has been out a couple times up here in Harrisburg.

An additional .06" of rain, bringing three-day total to 2.12". Looks like a pretty uneventful seasonal-type period upcoming. Onward.

It really is. We were the big winners for sure. I'm at 4.91" for the month and 35.06" YTD.

Tow-day total of 2.06" here. Locked in the clouds.

Not really, just low clouds. Common when we have fetch off the ocean.

Yeah I was going to say the same, felt like I heard it raining all night here. Looks like we were the big statewide winners, not a single total on Cocorahs even approaching two inches.

Man, what the heck happened!? I've been off the grid for a couple days. Last I saw we were supposed to get basically nothing from this system, yet here I sit with 2.03" of rain. Radar estimates seem to indicate western Lancaster County as ground zero so I guess it makes sense @Itstrainingtime and I made out so well. So much for any sustained heat this week. A national low of 2 near Baker, NV. Goodness. As for sports, another raucous whiteout in the books, Phillies on fire (man have Harper and Hoskins had some moments or what), and my Packers look like dog sh$t.

If only I had that type of power. @Itstrainingtime it won't let me quote your post properly but I see what you did there haha, and I couldn't agree more.

Heading up to Happy Valley tomorrow and it could not be a more perfect fall football Saturday. Heavenly. Now about that team on the field.....we shall see ha.
