CTP has removed any chance of rain from my forecast today. Ha! .1”-.25” forecast Monday but I’d bet it’s less.

Wow!!! What a storm...

So far I'm up to 0.01" and recorded a peak wind gust of 6.8 mph. 

What a far cry from all the social media doomsday posts as well as what the models were sometimes showing a few days ago

Sark’s not going anywhere after back to back playoff runs. 

And Franklin has a $56m buyout. He’s not being fired - they can’t afford it.  

Franklin fired

Sun has been coming in and out today. We could get a once-in-ten-thousand-year storm today and it would still be the absolute most wonderful day. I feel like I've been born again.

Nothing really here yet. Peak gust jumped to 7.9 mph. Since the neighbor removed a big pine tree in their backyard, my station is more open. Last week after the front, I recorded a 24 mph gust.

Nice nor’eatser - it’s 67 and sunny.

Buyout likely coming from the sale of assets from WPSU, as well.

Light rain/drizzle in Lanco

Never ceases to amaze me...every year we come out here to Pittsburgh for a Steelers weekend and the number of people wearing PSU gear is at least double over Pitt. I did get some ribbing today from a few Pitt fans about Franklin...they had no idea how happy I am.

[canderson]

What a perfect day. Mostly sunny and mid to upper 60s with a 10-15 mph east wind.

Who are you thinking for his replacement? Rhule? Joe Brady? Cignetti?

It's Rhule's job to lose: 

1) State College native

2) Penn State player/alum, last remaining branch of the Joe Paterno coaching tree 

3) Was with Patrick Kraft at Temple 

 

Rhule is a bad hire. You can say what you want about Waco, Texas and Lincoln, Nebraska, but his record against ranked teams is piss poor. He's basically hwite Franklin. 

 

Somebody bring me Jon Gruden.

Yeah, I have no idea who Kraft will look for. I feel like it might end up being someone not on everyone's radar right now. Just a hunch.
