Did we expect anything other? I’ve seen this movie too many times, sadly. The life of a sports fan….

I’d laugh if it wasn’t so sad. Hey we’re in it and that’s more than I would have thought. Now, does the usual 4th quarter onslaught ensue??

"cloudy but bright still" is a great way of describing how most of the day has been.

Bahahaha I hear ya but yes I was actually in the 'Beav that night. I've watched that clip so many times I can hear the call perfectly in my head.

Thanks mate. Haven't moved in yet though. We close on Monday and then we'll gradually move in the weeks to follow. It's sure to be hectic but we're excited to get on with it. Have to get a fresh weather station for the new joint!

Amen to that. Maybe even a whiskey on the rocks kind of night, assuming the kids cooperate ha.

I'm just tired of them always being really really good ha. Man, they run such a football factory over there in C-bus. Been to road games there a couple times and let's just say their fans' reputation for not being the most hospitable is well deserved. Yes we have. In fact, I was on the field celebrating after the game where the infamous field goal block took place a few years ago.

That may be a bridge too far, to put it mildly haha, but I'll certainly be praying to the pigskin gods for such an outcome.

How 'bout it. The drive up to State College last weekend was stunning. I got an additional .06" yesterday, which fell in the morning shortly after I had left for work, bringing my four-day total to 2.18".

Skies have been trying to break a bit and sun has been out a couple times up here in Harrisburg.

An additional .06" of rain, bringing three-day total to 2.12". Looks like a pretty uneventful seasonal-type period upcoming. Onward.

It really is. We were the big winners for sure. I'm at 4.91" for the month and 35.06" YTD.

Tow-day total of 2.06" here. Locked in the clouds.

Not really, just low clouds. Common when we have fetch off the ocean.

Yeah I was going to say the same, felt like I heard it raining all night here. Looks like we were the big statewide winners, not a single total on Cocorahs even approaching two inches.

Man, what the heck happened!? I've been off the grid for a couple days. Last I saw we were supposed to get basically nothing from this system, yet here I sit with 2.03" of rain. Radar estimates seem to indicate western Lancaster County as ground zero so I guess it makes sense @Itstrainingtime and I made out so well. So much for any sustained heat this week. A national low of 2 near Baker, NV. Goodness. As for sports, another raucous whiteout in the books, Phillies on fire (man have Harper and Hoskins had some moments or what), and my Packers look like dog sh$t.

If only I had that type of power. @Itstrainingtime it won't let me quote your post properly but I see what you did there haha, and I couldn't agree more.

Heading up to Happy Valley tomorrow and it could not be a more perfect fall football Saturday. Heavenly. Now about that team on the field.....we shall see ha.

Man am I going to miss having my low-lying spot here for those cold clear calm winter nights.

A nice cool autumn day on tap, getting nicer each of the next couple days. October now running 2.8 degrees below avg. This is about as dry as it gets for the Lower 48.....

A tale as old as time ha. Love seeing all the early snow reports here and even a "puking" reference, has me giddy. Here's something you don't see every day -- the national low of 10 degrees occurred in Iowa, at a couple of outposts in the northwest part of the state. A rare feat.

I work in this field and yeah, I don't think a lot of people have any idea what's about to hit them this winter. Might as well take a flamethrower to their wallets. Going to be absolutely brutal, no matter the heating source. I really feel for some folks. The energy markets are just so out of whack, like so many other markets. A mess indeed. I saw you mentioned about the trace in Coudersport and sure enough it looks like the Commonwealth received its first official snowfall of the season, with some places in Erie County getting around an inch. We're off and running.

A nice cool autumn week on tap. For the first time in a long time the national low was below 100 -- 99 at Zapata, TX. You know what that means.......#WinterIsComing

Total event rainfall here of .7". I've noticed this location occasionally showing up in the low temp records (14 miles west southwest of Mackay, ID) and decided to look it up. Unsurprisingly, it's another high elevation sink. Yesterday it was the national low at 14 degrees. Beautiful couple days on tap before the first snows for the Commonwealth next week. Onward.

I should add that while it's only a couple hundred yards away it's almost 100' higher in elevation. I just can't escape that Chickies Ridge. #RidgeLife I have a buddy who has a station on WU close to my current house but it's been out of commission for quite some time. He is also saddled with young kids and hasn't had the wherewithal to fix it. Can't blame him ha.
