    Got back from West Virginia yesterday and was disappointed to see only .03” in the gauge. Lord knows Morgantown got a lot more than that ha. Another smooth victory brings our all-time record on our annual road trip games to 14-2. Remarkable. Low of 63 last night and I was lucky enough to catch the edge of that line of storms to the tune of .06”. Looks like a stunning week ahead. Good to be back.

    Currently somewhere in the heart of Franklin County on I81 heading towards West Virginia. Let’s gooooo!

    Low of 67. Not a single drop here. Not one. Lovely.

    Yesterday seemed to be an underperformer and today an overperformer. My zone forecasts have been all screwed up lately.

    Low of 71. Should be quite the contrast on our drive out to West Virginia tomorrow, as we start off under thick clouds and a cool easterly flow and then as we traverse the spine of the Appalachians the flow switches to southerly and things clear up. Hot and sticky is the name of the game for this weekend in Morgantown, and I think the bulk of the storm activity on Saturday holds off until after the game. Go State!

    Low of 71. Really a nice morning though, as I took a walk around Mount Joy borough after dropping my wife’s car off for inspection. Just went by MDT on the train and can confirm the FedEx planes are flying strong. Jet contamination of the weather station likely, investigation underway. River looks calm and beautiful. Have a great day weather freaks!

    Indeed they did. LNS only came in at a chilly 89. My forecast for tomorrow is now “down” to 94, been fluctuating quite a bit over the last 36 hours.

    Yes sir. March and September are the mega months for daylight changes.

    We just saw that while we were getting lunch at Miyako! Didn't realize you were that close to downtown.

    Sorry to hear. Our kids are getting ready to head back to preschool (youngest has her first year ever in school), so I'm fully expecting an onslaught of runny noses, coughs, fevers, and whiny children. Fun indeed!

    Low of 62. I may be misremembering my forecast but that’s lower than I was expecting.
  12. Mount Joy Snowman
    Low of 62. Some short-lived heat on the way but I'm liking the look of the northeast troughiness as we head through early September. Atlantic tropics seem dead right now as well, with all the action in the eastern pacific heading towards Hawaii.

    We had our fantasy draft outside today and in the shade with the breeze it didn’t feel bad at all. The Heaven Hill bourbon didn’t hurt ha.
  14. Mount Joy Snowman
    Yeah my forecast has really been on the rise, 97 last I checked. That will have some ramifications on the final average monthly temp I calculated. Low of 61 here. Should be a great pool day, jealous of anyone who has one.

    Low of 55. Another awesome August day today before things start trending more uncomfortable tomorrow and thereafter.

    One thing is for sure, Texas should be loving this new NIL era. Them and the Phil Knight fighting ducks should be part of a select few teams that have unlimited funds. Just buy a new team every year. Who needs high school recruiting and development. Ah college football, where the rich get richer.
  17. Mount Joy Snowman
    Yes, I've heard that as well, but they also lost three starters who were all drafted so I wasn't sure if he meant that to be a bragging point, whereas the D-line always seems to perform. If I had a nickel for every time I heard preseason reports about how good the O-line was looking But yes, your point about them having more capable bodies is accurate.

    I, as well, am far more invested in PSU football than anything else and couldn't agree more with the bolded part. The only thing I'll say about that App State team is that they were REALLY good. They took only one other loss on the year and kicked the crap out of everyone else on their way to winning the Sun Belt. That was Scott Satterfield's final year as head coach and he had the program absolutely rolling. Penn State won their next three games 51-6 over Pitt, 63-10 over Kent State, and 63-24 over Illinois, before the heartbreaking one-point loss to Ohio State containing a certain 4th down play that we won't discuss here ha. All that to say, App State was very formidable that year. Still, your point about week one remains. Almost time for some pigskin!

    Great post that I almost entirely agree with, but I think you meant to say one of the deepest defensive lines, not offensive, correct? While I agree they should wax WVU, the week one factor along with on the road gives me at least a little pause. You just never know how teams are going to come out of the gate on week one in college football, particularly with a new offense. But yeah, a loss to WVU would feel like a virtual season ender and have Franklin's trousers starting to smoke.

    Or as my wife's mom says they used to call them back in the day, Penn Manure. Ah, local rivalries. True story, I had a buddy who one time slept on the sidewalk overnight in front of the Lancaster Cupcake off of Granite Run Drive so he'd be one of the first in line to get a year's worth of free cupcakes or some sh$t like that. Of course, his wife put him up to it. He's one of those "do whatever the wife wants" guys. I would have had something else to say about such a request haha.

    I see that now! I have done my good deed (eeerr annoying deed) for the day. I will now crawl back into my hole. Side note, I will be in Pequea Township tomorrow for a party at my uncle's place, which is in the extreme northeastern part of the township right along the Conestoga River. Not that anybody asked. Carry on.
  22. Mount Joy Snowman
    Wait, I may be more confused now too ha. Did you mean to say Penn Manor School District? Because yes, Penn Manor includes Pequea Township. So you do in fact live in Pequea just outside of Willow Street? Honestly, feel free to ignore me at any point if I'm prying too much haha.
  23. Mount Joy Snowman
    As am I, but I worry about every game haha. Honestly though, new O-coordinator, replacing three O-linemen who were drafted, a QB who I still don't know what the hell to make of but gives me major Hackenberg vibes, and oh yeah, the always present Franklin factor.......tough test for week one.
  24. Mount Joy Snowman
    I thought you were in Willow Street, but your signature says Manor Township?? I demand answers Superstorm!

    Low of 53. A couple more nice days before things turn decidedly more uncomfortable. Me and the fellas are heading to West Virginia for our Penn State road trip this year, so keeping a close eye on things for next weekend.
