  1. Franco and Lydel were freshman my freshman year at PSU.  Got to see them both play in person all 4 years.  What a pair of backs!  Was just commenting with an old classmate about how the new pair of frosh backs reminded us of those two  

    Of course, Franco went on to future greatness.  His early death is a tradgedy.

    I play poker with Gricar. He likes to be called "Cheese tits" and nobody has had the temerity to ask hwy, but when a dude whose been missing for 20+ years because he was about five minutes from taking down an entire college football lineage asks you to call him "Cheese tits," you call him "Cheese tits."

    correct. I have lived here my entire life and it seems each year it gets worse. (wind) 

    Pretty area. I spent countless hours wading the river bass fishing those rapids and islands up around Perdix and Banks Tower. Great fishing and awesome scenery; especially in the fall when the water was cooler and the island grasses and mountain foliage was turning. There were some old eel flumes out there that were great for smallmouth using lures. Fond memories for sure. But the river really changed a lot after Agnes and I never felt as  comfortable wading familiar spots after that.

    Found cap shingles off my roof while shoveling early this morning. I can't believe we didn't lose power with that wind.  

    Ouch…that’s no fun. You seem to get an unusual lot of wind. Used to live in the Harrisburg area and fished the river - am guessing you get wind from being at the base of the mountain and the wind coming downriver?

  5. Went above freezing at 2:40am with showery rain thereafter. Currently at 34º and temps should start falling. Not expecting much, if any, additional accumulation. And certainly no drifting no matter how strong the winds get. The rain ruined that possibility.

    Hate it when a nice, dry 5” of snow gets ruined by ending as sleet and then plain rain. You can say what you want about a solid snowpack, but this kind of sucks. Then again, certainly made out better than many of you to the south and east. Guess I should count myself as lucky overall with this one.

    Sure looks cold after Wednesday—especially on the Euro—so this pack should stick around for awhile; helping get those nightly lows down. Will maybe even get to zero for the first time this season.

    There some regeneration of precip on radar down this way and it’s straight light freezing rain, so now the pack is crusted over already. 

    Was wondering if that was freezing rain. Have seen some future radar depicting a brief period of freezing rain around 3:45am and then back to some snow again around 4am.

    Think we’ll get any additional accumulation?

    Agree…has been an interesting storm. If you could pick and choose various parts from all the models would have to say they nailed it. lol
