It speaks to the evolution of American basketball over the last decade plus, where there is more isolation ball and reliance on the three point shot. A team of connected players playing as a cohesive unit with sound fundamental team principles can pull off the occasional upset over the team of far superior athletes playing as individuals. We have seen this in college from time to time where a smaller mid major team has a group of senior starters that have been playing together for years and can outplay a more athletic group of one-and-dones from the power schools. NBA basketball in the 80s and 90s was wildly more entertaining that today's version, in my humble opinion.

Damn, to your point, I had no idea the US team lost to Nigeria until you mentioned it ha. I mean, it's just an exhibition but still, yikes.....

Never forget that here in Lancaster County we have Bird in Hand, Paradise, Intercourse, and Blue Ball all in a similar corridor in the heart of Amish country haha.

Stop talking dirty to me....

Pleasantly surprised to see .59" in the gauge this morning from some overnight action, nothing like what the Harrisburg area saw but I'll take it. After only getting ~1" for the prior month I matched that in the last three days; again, nothing like what some other areas saw but much needed nonetheless. Looks like a great chance later today for some people to cash in again. Summer rolls on.....

Only .06” over here. Familiar story haha.

Carlisle you’re a beast haha. Love it!

Well said. I would add that I much prefer a good old fashioned hand gauge to any type of automated measuring system. To me there is nothing better than a properly sited official cylinder gauge, checked every morning, for accurately measuring precipitation. But maybe that’s just me. By the way, .46” for my official tally yesterday.

Dont need a full station my friend, at least not to start. Just grab a cheap gauge to plop in the ground, better than nothing!

Just under 1/2", much needed. Looks like you got me again but hey I'll take it. I thought we were gonna be in for some severe wind potential with the way that line started taking a bow-shaped look upon approach but that never really materialized, at least not here. Thanks for checking on my well being haha.

Ah good 'ol Jim Thorpe, Little Switzerland, if you will. My wife and I have done a weekend trip there before, a great little getaway for sure. Hopefully you can find another time.

Basically all of the meso models show storms rolling through the LSV later this afternoon, at varying degrees of coverage, but quite a few should get hit with something.

Oh yes I know it all evens out over time, particularly the ups and downs of summer convection, but thanks for the pat on the back ha. I'm at 17.58" for the year, but only a little over an inch for the last month.

Bubbler what site do you use for this?

That's awesome. I had 7.12" that September and have down that it was the warmest September ever for Pennsylvania at-large. So, I found two instances where I believe I may have received more precipitation than anywhere else in the state -- April 6, 2017 when I got 2,55" and August 12, 2018 with 4.7". I'm really hoping to cash in on something from this weak frontal passage later this afternoon, seems like there should be a decent shot, some line segments may try and form.

Yeah you were the jackpot, whereas my official morning reading is .07" oof. There's been a couple of occasions since I've been keeping data where I believed I had the highest total in the state, or at the every least higher than anything reported through Cocorahs, NWS spotters, ASOS, etc. Always kind of exciting when that happens, at least I think so. I was thinking that may have been you yesterday but radar estimates have a swath up in Pike County receiving a bit more and sure enough there is a fella on Cocorahs outside of Milford who reported 3.23". On the bright side, I did dip into the 60s last night, bottoming out at 69, so there's that ha.

Yes it most certainly has. Cheers lad!

What in fresh hell is this!? Maytown gonna get pummeled with more while I get fringed yet again. @Itstrainingtime what are trying to pull?? Taking it on the chin tonight. @Bubbler86 forget that beer, pap is gonna need a Manhattan tonight ha.

It's uncanny how badly I got fringed here. Like absolutely pathetically unreal. Mega storms all around me for hours, within a couple miles, in all directions, and yet I never got a direct hit of anything heavy. I have like .05" in the gauge. Can't believe the difference between @Itstrainingtime and me, sickening. Although the wife and I were out in the Maytown area during some of it and yeah it was biblical over that way for a bit. Congrats to those who made out. I really needed it ugh.

Some nice cells popping up just to our south.

Just wait for the gamma, kappa, and sigma strains......maybe zeta, who knows!? Oh my!!! Yawn.

Yeah and the HRRR has been hinting at some areas of moderate to heavy rain this evening but unfortunately one of the GFS's greatest known biases is overdoing the extent of light precipitation. Failed Elsa has, into exile she must go *my best Yoda voice*

Oh don't I know it. On the other side of those intense outer swirling bands are often strong zones of subsidence. Such is the game of chance we call weather.

I am not amused. Our best shot over here may be with the weak frontal passage tomorrow afternoon. Still holding out hope for some action this evening, as some of the other models want to bring something through. But the best of Elsa's remnants almost certainly seem to be staying east.

So true. Take Lancaster County for instance, my little area in the northwest part of the county is well under average the past couple of months while the rest of the county is fine. I've only gotten an inch in the past three and a half weeks.
