YORK WEATHER up to the minute.

Eddie, I know you arrive early in the week, but most of us would like a preview of the 22nd, 23rd, & 24th. Thanks.

 

Jack

Who cares what the weather is in York. I am in the halls at the show. I have Never had a bad York Train Show, It always nice in side.

And if we were all buying and selling pool toys, I might agree.

 

Trains + water = bad.

 

Good weather = good.

 

Thanks for the diligent report, Eddie.

Eddie, thanks for posting this but historically, forecasts of more than a week aren't that accurate and as Jack noted, the majority of attendees can only come for that Thursday thru Saturday span at most rather than making it a week long vacation event.

I would like Hot and Sunny for the Show but we take what we get. We I camped I did not like rain.At one time when it rained years ago it would rain in the Purple Hall.

Bring on the weather!!

From the guys at WC

 

 

... hope they're wrong!

... then again, 50% chance of rain is about as non-committal as you can get!

As my French Canadian Caribou hunting guide Jean Claude Marchand would say:

 

Maybe hot

Maybe cold

Could be rain

Could be snow

 

Who knows??????????????

100% chance of toy trains!

 

 

Bill has it right.  I pay no attention to weather people today.  Weather forcasting was better 50 years ago.

Here in Sioux City it was nearly 80 today. October 10 is usually the date of the first freeze. Tomorrow nearly 90. Bring on the warming.

Wish it could be cold in San Diego, it has been a very hot two days.

And it always rains when I'm hauling something back to the car.

Tthe yellow hall ( old dealer hall) had the worst roof of all, rain coming in all over the place.

 

Jack

I have been there in every type of weather Cold, Hot ,Windy ,Rainy ,Snow. We will all be there no matter what. We have to take what we get.

Hope you're doing well Eddie and look forward to seeing you at York.

 

Marty has it exactly right.

Usually the weather is pretty good at most of the York shows and I believe this year will be good weather as well.

Why I wouldn't go that far, Marty does have a point.  Remember seven days out they had that last hurricane hitting the east coast.  Everyone was sure the mid Atlantic states were going to get hit and boy what happen?  Went out to sea and no one said anything about how wrong their computer models were.

 

Another example is the last three years the National weather service has been pushing their climate change BS and stating how the Northeast is going to have a warmer than normal winter.  Well, the last three years have been record breaking for cold and snow fall.   I give more credibility to the Farmers Almanac than I do to a Gov run hack agency.

 

But with that said, looks like you guys will have better weather(if it holds to predictions) than I had last April.  Cold and windy it was.

I am tired of the 95 degree days here, which is not unusual.  Looking forward to a little chill.

Global warming is the blame for everything.  So if I don't find what I want at the price I want at York, then . . . it must be global warming.

So far, it looks like a rainless York, although, it doesn't rain in the halls!

Sun, Mon, Tues, & Wed LOOKEN GOOD so far.

Great Good Weather for a Great Train Show.

Cold !!

Hurricanes are notorious for always being a roll of the dice. Sometimes they move in the usual arc across the tropics and loop back alongside the east coast, and sometimes they stagger across the ocean like drunken sailors. Sometimes they do both. I've seen more than one instance where a hurricane's path made literal loop-de loops. Sandy basically came straight up out of the Caribbean and hooked a left turn into the Northeast:

 

I think much of the huhhub about H. Joachim was that it reached Cat 4, and the eastern seaboard was within the "cone of uncertainty". Much of the preparation was in mind of Sandy, in which there were a number of highly-publicized "caught with one's pants down" incidents (not the least of which was NJ Transit leaving a large chunk of its fleet in a sea-level yard in the Meadowlands).

 

For what its worth, I use the National Weather Service forecasts as a guide. Since they don't depend on ratings like local news broadcasts, their output is devoid of sensationalism. During Joachim's approach, their forecasts never gave me the impression that it was much of a threat, only that its path was taking it farther and farther out to sea as its "due date" neared.

 

Looking at the NWS' behind-the-scenes-ish "forecast discussion" link over time shows a lot of "interesting stuff" that crops up in the various computer models that never makes it to the official forecast because they're of such low probability that they often wash out as time marches on. I've also seen significant weather events come to pass that started out as insignificant-looking wiggles in long-term outlooks (though in my observation, if they do come to pass, they tend to arrive a day or so later than when initially forecast). So it pays to eyeball forecasts every day in case something emerges from the noise.

 

My guess is that even though any competent forecaster knows that predictions more than two or three days out are dice rolls, there'd be a nationwide uproar if weather forecasts were capped at 24-36 hours. We as a society have come to expect 7-day outlooks, even though the information presented at their outer limits has seldom been  anything more than a curiosity.

Bring back Tex Antoine & Uncle Wesby. He was a hit until........

Some of you probably remember what happened in the end with his forecasting!

Thursday not so good.

Good news for the Bandits which are really dependent on the weather.

 

Pete

Two words. Be Prepared.

Latest weather, bring umbrella, waterproff bags, rubber boots, it will be three days of rain, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, so saith the WC. maybe you should bring a small boat also.

 clug clug...

Who are these bandit guys? where do they hang, never see any.As long as the beer is wet and cold who cares!

Brightening in the morning with a shower of steamers. 

Continuing 100% chance of participation.

Clearing in the afternoon partly diesel and electric.

Early chance of sunset and drinks at Quaker State.

Temperatures rising with passenger cars but cooling later in the day as wallets empty.

Storms possible when returning home, right Scott?

Norton, You are 100% right. I do the bandit shows Mon, Tues, & Wed. The weather is very important to me.

 

Eddie, where are the bandits hanging out?

The weather is really looking great. I hope it holds up. It's been several years since we have had good weather all week.

Getting chilly in VA. Glad I opted for hotel instead of a tent this trip.

That's because they looked out of the window once in a while.

I am sure everyone is happy the weather will be nice for the York Train Show, Umbrellas are not fun getting wet isn't fun either.

From FOX 43 in YORK....but it will change just like you change your underwear.

 

         Partly Cloudy

Why does someone else have to put there weather report on here and spoil my fun?

I agree Eddie
