I can tell you are the exact same kind of sports fan that I am and I’m here for every second of it haha. 

"What can go wrong, will go wrong" with my teams.

Considering that the Flyers last won 47 years ago, the Orioles and Sixers both last won nearly 40 years ago, PSU last won 36 years ago...my attitude is perfectly acceptable. :)

Here is more from CTP:

The core of the cold air at 850mb (-6C to -9C or 2.5SD below
normal) moves over CPA tomorrow - which could be the coldest
day until fall (in mini-max terms) with fcst highs in the mid
30s NW to around 50F SE or -15 to -25F below climo. When
factoring in a blustery WNW wind 30+ mph, it will feel almost
winterlike. The unseasonably cold WNW flow will support
numerous rain and snow showers with graupel possible in open
cellular low topped convection. Fcst soundings support trending
wind gusts above base NBM toward the 90th percentile/NBM 4.1EXP.

Showers fade Wednesday night as high pressure and associated
drier air starts to filter into CPA. Freeze conditions are
likely Wednesday night with headlines possible where the
growing season is active. Lows range from upper 20s in the mtns
to the lower 30s in the central and southeastern ridge/valley
region (about 5-10F below normal).

33 is the record low at MDT for April 28th...it appears to be in play.

Yep certainly possible, and the 29th’s record is also doable at 32. 

Impromptu little game for tonight/tomorrow morning - I'm saying right now that MDT's low is 37.

Go!

I will take 34. 

I'm thinking that if I get into the low 50s today, and with the breeze staying up much of the night tonight...temps are going to bust high. I made my prediction and I'll stick to it, but it would not surprise me if it ends up a degree or two warmer than my guess. 

I think Friday morning will be 3-5 degrees colder. We'll see...

Maybe best of 3 if we have two different winners Thur and Fri Am.   Sat Am tiebreaker with only the two winners from the previous two days :-).   Could get convoluted when more than one person pics the same temp.

Best of 3 is far better than a best of 7. I'd take a 3-0 lead and invoke some Doc Rivers in me and end up losing the next 4 mornings.
