Mount Joy Snowman

I was a Donegal Indian until 4th grade so I will die on that hill with you. Then I went on to graduate as a Hempfield Black Knight. Who knows, probably something wrong with that term by now too ha. And around and around we go ugh.

So Cleveland is officially going to be The Guardians now?? WTF!? Haha, I mean I just can't with this stuff anymore. Has anyone told Native Americans they are being canceled yet? Since when is it considered anything other than laudatory or a sign of admiration to name a sports team after something/someone? Who's next, the Braves? The Chiefs and Blackhawks? Maybe the Warriors? What about half the high school mascots in America? Who know where the fun goes!? *eye roll*

Could ask the same of the home of the Happy Valley -- Centre County. Although that one's pretty self-explanatory, named after its central location in the state. As we used to say at Penn State, it's equally inaccessible from all parts of the state haha.

I bottomed out at 59 last night. More beautiful days ahead.

haha I do apologize, my mistake boss, will never happen again Was just going to mention that, how at least they'll hopefully fare better than the US women's soccer team, ugly performance.....

I know.....I have no excuses, have to be better. A failure, I am.

I can't tell because I waited too long to check this morning and my craptastic weather station only goes back a couple hours or something like that for the low temp. Plus there's a brief period in the morning where it gets some direct sun and reads artificially high (only an issue in the summer). I'm waiting to install a much nicer one when I move locations. However, according to WU, most around me were in that 58-60 range for a low, but I'm usually amongst the lowest due to my low-lying location.

I see Bradford hit 45 last night, nice. @Itstrainingtime You smashed me yet again, only .13" over here yesterday. @paweather So far the highest total on Cocorahs is someone in Palmyra with 1.3", seems like you were the big winner yesterday. A beautiful stretch of weather upcoming, everyone enjoy it.

Yep everything went right around me.

Wowsers, really takin it on the chin up that way.

haha if nothing else PA you are consistent in your enthusiasm. I'm here for it.

Yeah I'm with ya, I don't pay much mind to the LR during the summer months, just way too much variability day-to-day on the convection elements. Once we start to roll into late Fall and Winter I'll pay more attention to fantasy land to try and get rough ideas of pattern and placement for storm chances, and also because, well, who doesn't love a good LR clown map ha.

Boy you can really see the smoke clearing out over Canada and the Great Lakes behind the front on the satellite....

Looks like a decent chance of some storm activity this afternoon before a cooler drier air mass ushers in and clears things out, including hopefully smoke ha, and then high pressure takes control for a couple days. Should be a nice end to the week.

I always find it interesting when the national high and low temp for the Lower 48 occur within a relatively short distance of one another, as happened yesterday with the high of 119 at Death Valley, CA and the low of 35 at Bodie State Park, CA being separated by only ~160 miles or so. While this doesn't happen all too often, I have witnessed it from time to time and it always seems to be these two locations. The two sites couldn't be more different and extreme in terms of topography haha, with one being well below sea level and the other being a high-elevation valley above 8,000', but still quite the feat.

CTP reading American Weather again I see

All quiet in the Atlantic Tropics. Since no one was asking about it, I figured I better bring it up.....

I wasn't home all day Saturday so not really sure how things broke out but it did seem the line of storms later in the evening was weakening a bit as it moved east so not shocking those to my west got a bit more. Glad to hear you did well, as it looks like we may go a while without anything significant. #DogDays

You guys added ten pages to this thread since Friday, wowsers! Enjoyed a nice weekend of swimming, landscaping, and imbibing. Got .75" from the storms on saturday but despite being warned never witnessed anything you'd call severe. Looks like the forecast is hot and dry with a side of smoke. You can really see the thicker smoke sitting over Canada on the visible imagery, which I guess is supposed to work its way down into our area more as the day goes on. As someone else mentioned, I'm a little surprised there is no mention of this from CTP in the AFD. Overall, nothing too exciting on the horizon weather-wise.

Been noticing that, great trends.

My buddies and I take a road trip to a PSU game at a different location every year. Last year was the first time we couldn't go, as Covid robbed us of our planned Virginia Tech trip. Man, was really looking forward to Blacksburg ugh. Anyway, our first trip ever was to Madison to face Wisconsin in 2008. We hammered them 48-7 and D-Will had a punt return for a TD in that game. We were actually in the student section for that one, crazy I know haha. Luckily we were in one of the top rows though so very few students behind us to razz us, plus we beat them so badly I think they lost interest. To this day we say that is our best trip ever. We were still young, the women were kind, the weather was perfection, the team was great, the town was great, just great, everything great. We definitely plan on getting back to Madison one day, but only after we cross every other B10 school off the list. Next year we are going to Auburn, REALLY looking forward to that one, first game at an SEC stadium. Also, we are 10-2 lifetime on our road trips, and that's not including the 2006 Orange Bowl we attended against Florida State and won in triple OT, the infamous JoePa-Bowden bowl. We definitely seem to be brining the boys some good luck. So many stories......

Oh man, a lot of good sports talk around these parts today. We just had to go there with the 6-4 Iowa Penn State game didn't we?? I was in attendance for that work of art, let us never forget the excellence that was on display that day. If I recall correctly, Iowa intentionally took a safety late in the game because they were so confident PSU's offense would do nothing with the ball, and they were right. Don't get me started on the new 17 game NFL schedule eeeeerrrrrrr. Looks like Richard Sherman has gotten himself into quite the quagmire. As for Haskins, given that the incident took place in a Vegas hotel room I'm going with some sort of alleged cheating incident, and yes I have zero evidence to back that up ha. Seriously though, I give him a bit of credit for the restraint he showed in not retaliating, as it seems she put quite the bruisin on him. As others have stated, I am not high on the Steelers this year. However, as a Packers fan I'm still unsure if our quarterback will be on the field this year or hosting Jeopardy haha. Lastly, couldn't agree more about the new Yankee Stadium, empty and hollow, nothing like the raucousness of the old stadium. I will now retreat back into my cave. Toodles.

Had a couple brief showers roll through while swimming at my parent’s place out near Red Lion, York County. Sure enough, not a drop here back home all day, bone dry.

Completely agree and I actually prefer it, so long as it doesn't drone on endlessly.......weather can be boring at times ha, not often but sometimes.....

That was very cool. I have a buddy who lives in Red Land, says the baseball team is quite the rage up there.
