Even though I’m an alum of another Big Ten school, I still root for PSU anytime they’re not playing Wisconsin. It’s just in my blood. Thank God they got rid of those stupid leaders and legends divisions where it was an annual rivalry for a few years. (Though the competitive balance, especially in football, was a little better that way.) 2 hours ago, Itstrainingtime said: I wouldn't mind going to Camp Randall some day. My buddies and I take a road trip to a PSU game at a different location every year. Last year was the first time we couldn't go, as Covid robbed us of our planned Virginia Tech trip. Man, was really looking forward to Blacksburg ugh. Anyway, our first trip ever was to Madison to face Wisconsin in 2008. We hammered them 48-7 and D-Will had a punt return for a TD in that game. We were actually in the student section for that one, crazy I know haha. Luckily we were in one of the top rows though so very few students behind us to razz us, plus we beat them so badly I think they lost interest. To this day we say that is our best trip ever. We were still young, the women were kind, the weather was perfection, the team was great, the town was great, just great, everything great. We definitely plan on getting back to Madison one day, but only after we cross every other B10 school off the list. Next year we are going to Auburn, REALLY looking forward to that one, first game at an SEC stadium. Also, we are 10-2 lifetime on our road trips, and that's not including the 2006 Orange Bowl we attended against Florida State and won in triple OT, the infamous JoePa-Bowden bowl. We definitely seem to be brining the boys some good luck. So many stories...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game of missed field goals... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out that Ontario Clipper mid week which goes above PA. Nice H's to our north for next weekend into the following week. Where is that D@mn 540 at?

Yes, if I keep saying it people will just get more sick of me saying it but verbatim the GFS is cool and way too dry. Forget how dry I am here. Some people who have received rain this week will be a dust bowl in 10 days if the GFS were to play out. And tomorrows rain is looking less and less impressive but models could be wrong and we get a deluge. Really, a lot of rain tomorrow will not help much if we have two weeks of little rain.

We are sitting at 90 and primed to make a run at a 30 degree jump from the AM low of 64. Assuming one of the random shower's forming does not get us.

CoralRed Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Williamsport has a Flash Flood Watch for tonight through tomorrow evening. * Flash Flood Watch for a portion of central Pennsylvania, including the following areas, Cameron, Elk, McKean, Northern Clinton, Northern Lycoming, Potter, Southern Clinton, Southern Lycoming, Sullivan, Tioga and Warren. * From 10 PM EDT this evening through Saturday evening. * A slow moving front will focus rounds of locally heavy rainfall across the Watch area tonight and Saturday. Extremely wet soils will lead to rapid runoff and possible flash flooding in areas of heavy rain. We are supposed to get about 1.25" of rain between now and tomorrow night. I hope we don't get much more than that but who knows what the thunderstorms will bring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were laying foundations in a new development. No shade for miles around. Just pounding sun and it was humid. But my mind could be sketchy on details. edit-by weeks end, only me and the foreman were left from entire crew.

Yea, plus MDT has hit 104 or 103 some 7-8 times now. So it does not look like this year is the year to break it but it may be broken some day.

I have my own heat stories of playing tennis in Florida mid day July and its brutal and some what unhealthy but it was never in the 104 area. Always 95-98. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 There was a year in maybe the mid 1990s that I reached 108. I didn't keep heat records specifically, but there was a stretch of weather where we were well over 100 for multiple days, and on a couple my low was in the mid 80s as I recall.
