Lately, the old expression “When it rains, it pours” has been the case with a good old-fashioned cloudburst or two.
The forecasting science has improved so much that the weather experts are confident enough to say the L-word (likely) rain several days in advance or at least a 90% chance.
Fortunately, it hadn’t snowed yet this year in our neck of the woods. But that’s probably only a matter of when, not if. But then who even knows if our fall and winter temperatures will be affected by global warming. We’ll just hope it’s not the F-word (freezing) rain.
It’s definitely that time of the school year. The Region 4B cross country meet was scheduled for Oct. 13 in Gettysburg. Umbrellas or not? The weatherman’s predictions for Wednesday were enough to worry coaches, officials and runners. So now the Region meet is Thursday, Oct. 14 at 1 p.m. there. Hopefully that means no umbrellas and no shovels needed like the last two years.
