What's funny is I have noticed when I'm in Harrisburg I've seen way more littering the sidewalks. I've honestly seen zero on my property this year. Crazy how localized it can be.

They have been virtually non-existent around here this year. Not complaining. But yeah the wasp explosion seems real.

Yes sir. Hallmark of a cold sink. The 9-11am period can be wild. Inverse of the period right around and after sunset. Assuming conditions are supportive, of course.

Low of 39 here. Not shabby.

Yeppers. That's what I was keeping an eye on. Still surprised I didn't see a Trace.

Nothing here to your east, which pretty well aligns with what the radar was showing.

Love our defense, unsure about the offense. Receiving core is a problem. I think that line will come down throughout the week.

Oh believe me, there was plenty of that on the other TV ha.

Low of 42 here. Daddy daycare was a success yesterday. Lots of football watching and beer drinking and pot roast eating and baby crying. But we got it done, and with no new injuries to boot. Isn't that always the standard for fathers

Low of 44 here and 1.29” of rain. This storm was modeled pretty darn well, I do believe. All the wives are going to a baby shower today so I’ve got some buddies coming over with their kids. Daddy daycare in full effect over here in West Hempfield. Just put a big chuck roast in the crockpot and picked up a case of beer. Should be an….interesting day haha.

I haven’t been able to get out the 40s here all day, stuck at 49 currently. Impressive. Looks like about .8” out there thus far.

I might have to, been a minute since I’ve visited that joint.

I think this was meant for me. Looks great!

Yes sir it is and I'm about to mow. Let's get after it!

The Dark'n Stormy rum cocktail would work well for this and you could always put your own little twist on it.

Congrats to the Phils, well deserved! Low of 46 here. Looks like one heck of a RAW weekend on tap. Any chance MDT can make a run at the min max record of 48 for tomorrow? Probably not but could be close.

You know, the THV site has always fascinated me. Outside of being a relatively low spot with some minor ridges around that make it conducive to cold air inversions, I think the main driver may be the large quarry and rocky terrain that exists adjacent to it. This lack of vegetation would make for a more arid airmass and allow temps to drop more at night than surrounding locales. This is the same phenomenon witnessed at the Barrens, which is just a few miles outside of State College but believed to be one of, if not THE, coldest micro-climates in the entire state. THV is obviously a much scaled-down version of that but I think that it may be a similar explanation. Food for thought. Anyway, those who want to read about the Barrens can do so here, a fascinating place indeed..... https://climate.met.psu.edu/features/barrens/

Good thing I sold mine months ago for $60 a piece tehe. I don't think Mr. Franklin is gonna get that 110k he so badly craves haha.

Shout out to the Eastern CONUS with a rare victory, as Davis, WV came in with the national low of 19. Also, the high was under 100, that being Rio Grande Village, TX at 98. #WinterIsComing

Another day gone and another low of.....you guessed it, 44. I believe that's four nights in a row for me of bottoming out at 44.

I was going off of CTP's summary of all ASOS/AWOS sites that they release twice daily. I believe these are what you would refer to as "first-order" stations, no? I had no intention of looking up every other climate site in the state. Why is Washington Airport not included on this list?

Got to love when THV comes in with the coldest official temp in the state, as it did last night with a low of 37. Speaks to the uniquely abnormal nature of that location. #Inversion

Haha oh man this one got me good. My experience....... Wife: I'm hot. Me: Why are you wearing a sweatshirt? Wife: I don't know, it looked cold out. Me: I told you it was going to be sunny and warm today. Wife: Well, whatever. Me: *gives stern glare*

Yeah my mom and my wife have a stand booked for an outdoor craft show Saturday and I've been breaking the sobering weather news to them over the course of the last few days.

44 for the low here, been the magic number lately. Perfect day on tap. Time to hop on the train.
