Eddie, you need to clean that up before next week!

There's weather at York?  Who goes for the weather?

Thanks Eddie!

Long range weather forecasts are essentially meaningless. I have been following these forecasts for York Week closely for the last week or so, and they change dramatically every day. Let's see what the forecast looks like a week from now, and even that will likely change some more thereafter.

Eddie,

I told you there's going to be a Blizzard in Maine and you won't be able to get out.

All those numbers will change daily. Like Gary says, blizzard will hit Maine in the forecast, then it will be 300 degrees, then about 75 and sunny.

The night before I leave I check the weather and than pack appropriately.  It's pointless to be looking at the weather guesses 10-12 days out!

I remember seeing sheets of rain going across the parking lots and thinking "No Biggee.. I'm at York!!"

I remember seeing sheets of rain going across the parking lots and thinking "Oh CRAP, my umbrella is in the car!"

Not to belabor the point, but the York forecast has changed at least three times already today. Just puts an exclamation point on my earlier post, when I indicated that long range weather forecasts are inherently unreliable.

You guys are missing the point of this thread. Anticipation.

Who cares about the weather forecast. We will go to York regardless of the weather (short of a hurricane/tornado). I know I just jinxed us.

Marty is correct. It’s all about the fun of the buildup and anticipation and excitement of the Meet approaching. Nobody’s worried about what the weather will be. Just have fun watching it change, for better or worse!

I'm coming up from Florida. Can someone explain cold and rain to me? How should I prepare? Fleece jacketing for my train purchases?

Thanks Charlie, a hurricane is just what we need!

Layering.........it can be cold in the morning and then gets warmer.....a fleece with a couple of layers (sweatshirt, golf shirt,t shirt) is the way I approach it. Rain slicker over it if rain is predicted.

Yes, fleece jacket and a shopping bag with handles or a backpack.

Fleece jacket and a 10' U-Haul.

We've endured worse, no York.

Since I prepare for anything, the only forecast I am interested in calls for 100% chance of trains Monday through Saturday...
