Both nights in beautiful Piscataway, what could be better!? 

A nice Marriott with hotel bar?

Rather go to Evergrain.

That works too - although all there beer taste the same to me

It’s the best brewery in the area. I love Troegs too but Evergrain is on par with places like Tired Hands, Equilibrium, and even Treehouse and Trillium.

I've done a few of these at Penn State road games. Met some amazing people tailgating, especially in Madison Wisconsin

The advertised better pattern looks to be on track beginning around December 5th on the 0z EPS & 0z GEFS.

[Jns2183]

It has now been misting here for 14 straight hours

Is that on track or pushed out a week?

if i may, its cooldown part 2.  verbatim we cool for turk day into weekend, then a brief warmup as the calendar turns to Dec.  AOA 12/3-4 we get 500mb pattern depicted above.

We have not had much sun this week and today will be no different. Rain chances increase late tonight with around 0.20" possible for most areas. We should finally see the sun return tomorrow through Monday with afternoon high temperatures near average at around 50 degrees. Our next rain chances increase by Tuesday late day into Wednesday. Wednesday should be our one well above average temperature day with highs reaching near 60 degrees! We turn sharply cooler by Thanksgiving Day.

also in regards to Dec chill being advertised, fwiw, tellies are supportive of Ens guidance, so while not a lock, I'd say we may be loaded :).

Agreed, hopefully we are tracking specific winter storm chances as we get into early December.

I have been seeing Penn Dot shuffling some plow trucks on flat beds lately. Few heading up 15 north.

40 degrees and a little bit of fog.

Low of 41 with .01” of rain. 

Madison was our first ever road trip many moons ago, loved it. Last year we were in Morgantown for the West Virginia game and I met Joe Calhoun at the hotel bar, our long-time local meteorologist on WGAL. Great guy.

That's really cool.

Nerd alert: just this week I was on WGAL's YouTube page waxing sentimental while watching Joe's (and @AllWeather) videos from before and during the great January 2016 snowstorm. I love going back and reliving moments like that. There are videos on the page from about 3 days prior to the storm all the way through the event finale. Best part is watching the forecasted amounts go up and up as the event approached and played out. 

I do this probably once every few months. Truly.
