That is like one of his posts from year 2000.

One of the articles I read commented that one of the graduations was happening that weekend which was part of the hotel spike in cost.

Later in the interview, Rendell began to argue with chief meteorologist John Bolaris about how much snow had fallen in Philadelphia. Bolaris said that there was actually seven inches of snow on the ground at 7 p.m., but Rendell disagreed. "No, that was at 8:30 according to FEMA," Rendell argued. "This is no way, shape or form a blizzard!"

The column is retreating as the precip arrives so a hard sell down here. If we can hold temps above us a bit then game on!

If you get 1-2 feet of snow you may need to plunk down 3K for the room.

If PSU loses because of the snow, I do not want to hear one peep about it :-). Maybe Rendell can charge in and postpone the game?

It would be ironically funny if something tracked to drop 1-2 feet at State College on the 21st.

The predictable top reactions across the site so far: Those in the 2-5 foot area: This will never happen, we never get snow like that Those outside the 2-5 foot snow area" It is going to happen, it never snows here and snows everywhere else.

I doubt NJ gets 4-5 feet that is for sure.

Kuch is 54-56" in NJ on the GFS. As mentioned by others as well, this is more like Boxing day but has a Jan 2000 tinge to it.

Joe Bastardi's reaction to GFS

Beach Day! 3 footer.

Or it could be Jan 2000!

Dec 2000

EB nooners. 34 with sustained winds in the upper 20's and low 30's and a top gust of 48 which is higher than the last wind event over here.

The Texans will enjoy the mild breezes in Dubois. “A lot of hotel rooms available in Altoona and Lewistown and Williamsport and Clearfield and DuBois,” Smith said. “If you’re willing to travel that far, there’s still some pretty attractive rates in those communities.”

Looks like if you are willing to part with over $1650 a night you can still get a room at the Country Inn but have to do 2 nights. One night no longer available.

May be due to a lack of rooms/hotels and Gallon Sized Hat and Buckle Texans coming to town. I looked this Am and all hotels were booked except 3 that were around 1K per room.

State College Country Inn and Suites is 2500 for the night of Dec 21st.

Main shield has wrapped up here. About 1.5" for the day and down to 35 degrees.

18Z 3K back to suggesting we get some white rain over here (and LSV) as it pulls out.

Plant a flag, life ruined. No guns or freedoms for you.

If an Ohio lawmaker gets his way, teams attempting to plant their flags in the middle of Ohio Stadium during Ohio State games will be dealing with more than just pepper spray. Ohio state Rep. Josh Williams introduced a bill Tuesday that would classify flag-planting at Ohio Stadium around Buckeyes football games as a felony. The O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act, authored by Williams, comes in response to Michigan's attempt to plant its flag after a Nov. 30 win at Ohio State, which set off a brawl between the teams. Police had to employ pepper spray to separate players and other team personnel. Ohio State University police are investigating the incident, which involved multiple law enforcement agencies and resulted in an injury to an officer. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42913316/flag-planting-ohio-state-felony-proposed-law

Fun front/wind watching. KLNS still at 61 with South Wind

THV dropped from 61/62 to 52 in 40 min. Easters still in the 60's.
