Scott Harbaugh: Autumn! Leaves, Pumpkin Patches and Snow
Autumn begins on Monday, September 22. 11:44 a.m. EDT to be precise.
The start of fall conjures up many thoughts to different people. The leaves changing, the days getting shorter, Halloween, football, pumpkin patches and corn mazes to name a few. To me, I can’t get through the start of fall without thinking about snow. Yes, I [...]
Scott Harbaugh: Someone remind me to call Major League Baseball.
There is something that has been bothering me for nearly two months. What I should do is quit being lazy and make a phone call. In the meantime . . . let me vent.
I went to New York this summer to see Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium before they close at the end of the year. [...]
Scott Harbaugh: No Ivan Repeat
I’ve heard some rumblings this week about concerns of mass flooding from Tropical Storm, soon to be a hurricane again, Hanna. Granted, the forecast path earlier this week was taking the storm into central West Virginia. However, you have to look at more than just the forecast track of a tropical system. You have to look at [...]

It takes quite a bit to surprise me with weather, but I find this truly amazing. We know it’s been pretty damp around here the last few months. 63% of the days from April 26 to July 4 saw at least a trace of rain at Pittsburgh International Airport. That’s nearly two of every three [...]

Just the other day I was taking my son Michael to the store when he said, “Daddy there are some cummulles clouds over there.” “That’s right,” I said. Their called cumulus clouds, the ones that look like cotton balls in the sky. I have been working with him every time we are in the car [...]

I think it’s safe to say that your fan or air conditioner unit has been running non-stop for the last few days due to the muggy and warm conditions. I know high temperatures for the last several days have been short of our averages, but they’ve been close enough to make it feel like summer. [...]

I can vividly remember standing in the kitchen with my mother one morning when I was about six. I was upset it was raining, but she told me it would be done soon. “Rain before seven, end by eleven” she said. I was six. Who was I to argue to her?
Well, this morning when I [...]
Scott Harbaugh: A Disturbing Trend
In no way can you say, “Well, it rained the last three years on this date so it should rain again this year.” That has about a much logic as saying, “Oooh, we set a record high temperature today – must be global warming.”
Regardless, my brother and I were talking about the 4th of July [...]
Mike LaPoint: I’m Back…
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been gone a month due to the birth of our twins girls. They were born on May 20th during the early afternoon.
Mia was the first one into the world as she weighed in at 6 lbs 14 oz followed 8 minutes later by her sister Chloe who weighed 6 lbs 4 [...]
Scott Harbaugh: June Heat Wave
By most definitions, a heat wave this time of the year is three or more consecutive days of 90 degrees or warmer (this time of year). However, these last five days were pretty impressive considering it’s so early in June and (technically) not even summer yet. There are different kinds of summer. The one we [...]
