    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Now show me March

    As promised. While ten full days left in the month makes for a tough estimate, MJS got to punching on his best Texas Instruments calculator and came up with the following..... Current mean monthly temp is 74.8. I calculated the final ten days as 73.6, bringing the final average monthly temp to 74.4 -- good for the solo spot of 54th warmest all-time. This would be about a degree BN when compared against the recent climate normal period but about a half degree AN when compared against the entire POR. Book it. Side note, MJS is declaring the 1927 record of 67.7 as untouchable as Cy Young's. Good day.

    Low of 53. Just too many clouds too late into the night here to drop as far as we could have, which was a bit surprising. Should be able to sneak in a much needed mow today.
  13. Mount Joy Snowman
    Speak of the devil, Sinks was beat out by Mackay, ID for the national low, who checked in at a cool 30. Although given your Garrett reference, it sounds like we may have had some unofficial stations here in the east that matched or exceeded that. Very impressive.
  14. Mount Joy Snowman
    Impressed by all the 40s being reported. I could only get down to 51 at KMJS. Tonight has the potential to surprise and go even lower than forecast. Glorious weather all the way around.
  15. Mount Joy Snowman
    I was just getting ready to make a joke about how I can't wait for a bunch of us to hit 40s tonight while MDT checks in with something like a 58, but then I see it came in with a low of 59 last night so who knows, maybe it will surprise again.
  16. Mount Joy Snowman
    Low of 57 and .04” from a couple of rounds of very brief showers yesterday.
  17. Mount Joy Snowman
    Completely agree about Costco and Kirkland being better; it's just the distance factor, as you mentioned, and how busy the place gets (to say nothing of the parking situation ha) that keep me away. BJ's was simply a decision borne out of convenience. Side note, LNS got 2.21" yesterday. Yahtzee.
  18. Mount Joy Snowman
    Any insight on BJ's gas? We got a membership there a year ago because we live so close and use it primarily for the gas and non-perishable products.

    Me too. We were out of the house at some wedding festivities and I was surprised to see only a third of an inch in the gauge when I got home. However, I was aware of the fact that I had kind of just barely snuck in on some of those late day potent lines. Looks like another mediocre chance today and then a prolonged dry period.
  20. Mount Joy Snowman
    Low of 66 with .33” of rainfall. Much more just to my north and east.
  21. Mount Joy Snowman
    Low of 69 with .08” of total rainfall. Regardless of what happens with the storms today, it looks like an awesome week ahead.
  22. Mount Joy Snowman
    Pending tomorrow’s outcome, this could be quite the forecast bust. But as Bubbler mentioned, it was always going to be kind of a scattered convection type day so no guarantees. Still, I don’t think any of us thought the radar would be as paltry as it was today.
  23. Mount Joy Snowman
    I saw that during one of my many glances of RadarScope this morning and thought you might be getting hit pretty good.
  24. Mount Joy Snowman
    Round one looks to be in the books here and I’m a little under a tenth of an inch.
  25. Mount Joy Snowman
    Appreciate that. I think I’ll do some number crunching sometime this week.
