Mount Joy Snowman

I have not moved off of 53, ‘tis my high and low since midnight, to go along with .18” of total precip. Bring on the cold.

Similar story here, sitting at 56 and had a midnight high of 67.

Seems damn near a given at this point, I would think. I’m still stuck at 55.

Stuck at 55 here with a little under a tenth of an inch.

Sitting at 69 here which is my high for the day, and yes I can report an accurate daytime temp because I've been under cloud cover all day haha. Had some stuff on the radar overhead but no actual drops fell. About to sneak in what may be my last mow of the year.

I've been keeping an eye on this as well. Subtle differences making for huge shifts in the forecast. As always, will be interesting to see who wins the model wars.

Get off my train. But seriously, where you heading? And yes, there is nothing they love more than having one car be an ice box and the next a sauna.

You are one of the true, the proud, the diehards. College football is my one sport where I'm probably closest to remaining a diehard, although even they have done their best to turn me off in recent years with the loss of regional rivalries and insane conference realignment. Allow me to summarize my sports fandom levels, not that anyone asked ha.... NHL - Don't follow and have never had a team, but do enjoy a good playoff hockey game. NBA - Used to be a fan but not anymore, for too many reasons to list here. Will still occasionally tune in to a playoff game. MLB - Used to be a diehard but now a casual, as discussed above. NFL - Have always been a solid fan, while occasionally bickering about rules changes ha. NCAA football - Diehard. Can't get enough of it, while noting the caveat outlined above. NCAA basketball - What players are playing for which teams again? Just get to March already. NCAA olympic sports - Love me some college wrestling and volleyball, as well as a couple other small-time sports. Some of the purest competition you can get.

I give the people what they want. Mr. Historic District is no exception. I'm with Blizz on this one. I think the majority of sports fans primarily follow their team and tune out otherwise. The only sport that transcends this is football. I know loads of Phillies fans and I can't name a one of them that will be watching this series. I love the game as well (played it much of my life), and used to consider myself a diehard, but now more of a casual. I'm not sure why but the game just hasn't felt the same to me since my younger years. Not sure if it's the over-reliance on analytics and the all or nothing approach that has become so common at the plate but something just rings hollow with me. I also feel less of a connection with the players these days. Although I do mostly love the new rules changes. With the two little ones and a wife who would rather do anything than watch sports, I'll probably only get to tune in to the series for a few fleeting moments. Outside of Penn State games and Green Bay games, I get very few claims to the TV these days haha.

Low of 54 here. Peter Sinks back in a big way with the national low of -17 (believe that's the first negative reading this season?). I think parts of PA see their first snowfall Tuesday night into Wednesday. #WinterIsComing

Wow. Just wow. Like wuuuuut??

Soon they'll be experiencing the opposite, where colder air is moderated by flowing over the relatively warmer river waters.

Not much wind but what little there is seems to be flowing off the water. I reckon that's the culprit for MDT.

One day......

Sounds like you've got it all buttoned-up buuuuut you did ask for verification from others, which seemed to imply your own skepticism. Hey, who am I to question anyone's reading when I can't even report a daily high because my wife has a giant black pergola covering too close to my station haha. Which, by the way, is coming off soon! Hopefully this weekend, and if my theory is correct, I'll be able to report accurate daytime highs. We shall see. I know you're all waiting on the edge of your seats for my update.

Checked a bunch of WU stations around my area at varying elevations and, no, they all showed steady consistent drops through those hours and beyond. Get your equipment checked Training, and no this isn't your wife talking

Low of 47 here. Happy Thursday, all.

You must have missed my post from earlier this morning (I’ll let it slide this one time) where I predicted a final mean temp of 59.7 — good for 11th place all time.

Doing my end-of-month chicken scratch and I think this warm stretch will have us ending October with a final mean temp of ~59.7, which would be about 3.8 AN and be good for 11th place all-time. Book it.

It really is. Fickle as can be. Not as fickle as hockey but fickle nonetheless. It’s funny, I was listening to Cowherd’s podcast like a week ago and he was going off about how it was all over and the Phillies were just too hot and nobody else stood a chance and the home crowd was too intimidating and yada yada. And I was just thinking to myself, “You knucklehead, this is baseball. Momentum only goes as far as the next day’s starting pitcher.” Nothing is a given in sport, particularly playoff baseball. Again, fickle.

44 at the house and 37 through the rurals. Now we’re off to the races the next few days. Tough pill to swallow for the Phils. Time to board the train here in Mount Joy.

35 when I left the house. Didn’t spy much in the way of frost.

Low of 39 here. A week sent from the heavens, ahead.

Welp, I’m at a loss. Just tired of watching the same script every year against these guys. Defense plays its ass off and the offense is completely inept. This staff has never been able to scheme a passing game. Ever. Throw in a subpar WR room and QB with accuracy issues and that’s what you get. Ugly. The frustrating part is that this is the smallest the talent gap has been in a long time between these teams. Difference is they have a guy like Marvin Harrison and we don’t. Well, that and we have an inferior coach. I don’t enjoy saying that but it’s beyond debate at this point. When he doesn’t have the talent advantage he gets exposed, without fail. Just an embarrassingly bad game plan and display of play calling. Pathetic. I don’t want to hear about moral victories. And don’t get me started on the 14 point swing from the fumble return TD brought back. Sorry for the rant. Had to hit the bottle ha.

Low of 52 and .2” of rain. Let’s go State!
