Perfect conditions for the OSU-PSU game to end up like 55-49.

My wife said something the other day about going out to dinner Saturday night, my daughter said you'll be going by yourself, me and dad are watching the Penn State game  i think i created a monster, i believe she watches and pays more attention to sports then i do.  

 

but like Canderson said, should be perfect weather at kickoff. 

i just saw they're calling for another 3/4" tonight into tomorrow morning for our area. After last night, i had standing water in my yard this morning. The ground is saturated. I see you in Lancaster County as well as a couple other southern counties are under a flood watch.

I don't see OSU ever having to punt. 

[Jns2183]

I don't see OSU ever having to punt. 

For the first time in decades(?) PSU has a dominant O-line in regards to its rushing attack. Combine that with the tank that is Miles Sanders plus the general ineptitude of PSU defense and PAU could do worse then attempting the “Army” strategy and just physically running it down OSU’s throat to try to control possession.

On defense if OSU is bound to score
All the time they might as try some exotic blind side blitzes to see how this new OSU QB reacts to unexpectedly eating grass and having the wind knocked out of him.

If by some miracle they actually have to punt at least PSU has Hamler leading the best special team return game they’ve had here in forever (ever?).

The unknown variable is how well Haskins handles the atmosphere...he hasn't lined up in ANYTHING like a Beaver Stadium whiteout. It will be absolutely nuts.

Agree with all of this. We need a big night from our special teams and we HAVE to win the turnover battle...those 2 things set all PSU's recent success into motion the last time the Buckeyes came calling to Happy Valley. 

[Itstrainingtime]

Thus far the rain has been uninspiring...it isn't even wet right now. Perhaps we get a break and it under-performs this time around?

Very true. Missing Bosa is a serious loss for OSU a well.

As of 9:56 pm, Harrisburg had picked up 0.03" rain. That brings 2018's precipitation to 49.74", making 2018 Harrisburg's 8th wettest year on record. 2018's figure is just ahead of the 49.73" precipitation that fell in 1937.

Monday finally begins October.....just in time for 3 days straight in the 80’s.

As of 11:45 pm, Harrisburg had received 0.29" rain. That brought Harrisburg's total precipitation for 2018 to 50.00". That is only the 8th time on record that Harrisburg has received 50.00" or more precipitation. Seven of those cases have come after 1970. Four have come after 2000. The last such year was 2011 when an annual record of 73.73" precipitation fell. Records go back to 1888.

Thanks, Don. Do you have the data to post the top 10 wettest years on record for KMDT? 

2011 was brutal because we had Lee and Irene back to back, plus a pretty good nor'easter that winter.

In Evanston for the weekend seeing family and hoping to see Rashan Gary pile up half dozen sacks on Northwestern.

not too shabby.  2 outta 3 aint bad

 

[Itstrainingtime]

I wonder where the Manheim/Mount Joy area stands for their yearly rainfall total...I'd have to think they're between 60"-70". I'm sitting at 57". Even though I'm only 4 miles outside of Mt. Joy, a couple of events they doubled my total, including the 8/31 deluge.

The January 96 storm is still my all-time favorite. 30" of cold powder that actually lasted for 12 days before the epic flood that wiped out the west span of the Market Street bridge...

Thanks...I think.

Since your such a great stats guy.........can you pad them...a LOT!!

Ouch, but that was my worry.  Clouds wrung themselves out i guess. lol

In truth, it would be nice to see how those 10 winters looked like regarding major indicies (Enso etc) in relation to how we look as a low end Modoki Nino seems to be appearing more likely.  I'm hoping none of the above have a similar data set.

Appreciate the feedback.
