Too bad Dubois is not in the zone of totality. Would have been an excuse to visit. As is, I am not driving to Erie!

Maybe a post in the Pitt thread will get that info?

Only one day since March 17th has not been BN.

After what seemed like an endless heater, as of yesterday 35% of the days in March have been normal or BN at MDT.

Ernie Banks-It's a great day for a ballgame, let's play two! Shohei Ohtani- It's a great day to bet on a ballgame, let's play 200 hundred on the Phils!

The Phillies have saved us from hours of HH model PBP plotting the rain line in SE Pa.

It will be a Good Friday for a season opener.

Wow, is that normal for a 24 hour postponement ahead of time?

The Great Valley.

A damp and chilly 44 for nooners.

39 here this Am with .03 of rain. I am taking a Flyer on seeing much sun today as this front Caps off our area in clouds.

Yep, outside the TO issues they did a lot right tonight including keeping chucky sideburns in.

GFS still not there yet but those maps are more broad brushed so if you are ok sitting in damp, 40's but no rain falling, you might still be golden.

The 18Z Nam follows the Icon and says play ball.

49 for nooners. Parsing nooners models, opening day in Philly is still not a foregone conclusion as to rain.

36 min ago Emergency call from ship allowed authorities to close bridge and save lives, Maryland governor says From CNN's Andy Rose An emergency call from the container ship gave officials time to begin closing the Francis Scott Key Bridge to vehicle traffic before the ship slammed into it, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said on Tuesday. “I'm thankful for the folks, once the warning came up and once notification came up that there was a mayday, who literally by being able to stop cars from coming over the bridge — these people are heroes. They saved lives last night,” Moore said.

Hopefully they can clear the wreckage (and hopefully no one else has died) fairly quickly but not sure how the harbor will be affected by the equipment building a new bridge over the next 2 years.

Just had the yard guy here and it developed into an interesting convo. He said that our side of the mountain is the worst place to try and grow grass that he has as to his customers. He pretty much backed our next door farmer and said that the combination of being so high with little tree shade, like a usually higher elevation area would have, along with the great valley leaves us in a drought seemingly all summer, every summer. Also, it is not warm out at all. LOL. 42 at 10:30 on March 26 in mostly sun.

I know what you mean. When I was young, I once saw a video of a terrorist sawing the neck of a hostage and it set me back even to this day. Sometimes we do not need to see everything.

Yes, as Sauss said the economic impact is going to felt. Not sure how long it will take them to clear the water and then how much boat traffic can go by when the bridge building starts again. Google Maps says that road is closed until Dec 2024 but seems likely to be much longer than that. New Car availability in the east seems assured to be impacted. The first time there is a major accident on I95 or 895, it is going to be a newsworthy mess.

I see a lot of people down talking the impact on Baltimore car and truck traffic. The bridge handles 30-40K vehicles per day of which 80% are between the 12 hours between 7A and 7P meaning 2300-2400 additional vehicles each hour on I95 and 895 during the 12-hour stretch. It is estimated it will cost 500 million to 750 million to rebuild though some permanent areas from the previous bridge may be usable and afford a lessening of that cost.

34 here. There is a video of the collapse on Cnn and Foxnews for anyone that did not see it. Hard to fathom what this will mean for Baltimore right now. Shipping and car traffic going to be tough for a while. Sonar is finding cars under water.

Except they were not wrong this time, they forecasted 54-55.

Looks like we are topping off at 52. For once the temp did not exceed predicts. NWS had 54 or 55 for MDT which is where they are sitting.

Ouch, not using that word any more regardless...urban dictionary suggests it is a racial related term.
