Fozz Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Awesome, it's like we're trading places. I grew up in the millersville area and now commute to cockeysville. Heads up: house of pizza has dollar keystone lights on Wednesdays. Go with some friends and buy a pizza tray of beer for like $10. Other than drinking at house of pizza or jack's, (or one of the other area bars) there isn't a whole helluva lot to do in this area. I actually took a class there a month ago (as a non-degree student to get ahead) and commuted each day, so we literally traded places everyday. The best part is that there's no such thing as rush hour since most people commute south rather than north on 83 (speaking of 83 it almost feels like an autobahn sometimes.... driving at 80 mph doesn't feel that fast). But once I actually start grad school I'll be living there in a nearby apartment, it's too much to drive over an hour each way everyday. And I don't actually mind a smaller, more rural school this time, compared to UMD which was huge. It also helps that I'll be further north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauss06 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Awesome. Is your daughter doing undergrad or grad school? She is only going to be a Senior in HS, but is narrowing down colleges. M-Ville is her 1st pick. She wants to be a teacher. But i'm hearing she wants to do a dual major now, English and Education... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 LOL. What are you getting your masters in? I'm in their new Integrated science master's program which is a science degree (mostly Earth sciences, including a bit of weather!), but it's also mixed with business courses since the idea is to be able to apply science in the workforce (both business and government) while also having a good foundation of the way businesses work. It's just about perfect for someone like me who majored in economics and also loves weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Pattern wise, anyone have any thoughts about what is in store for the rest of summer, ie August and sections of September?

JamieOber Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Also heard potential for September heat. Yeah, heard that as well. Warm first half of fall then a fairly cold second half.

Eskimo Joe Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Lol, I'm used to low-quality winters anymore. I've seen two 6+ snow events since 2007. When I was at Millersville Univ. we were taught that there is on average 1, 10" + event every decade in Central PA. The winter of 2009-2010 was an exception to this.

The winter of 2009-2010 was an exception to this. For true geographic Central PA it's around 3-4. We're right about normal over the last 10 winters here in UNV. That sounds about right for LSV, one per decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
