Looked this up on the Weather Underground. Long-range forecasts, so I don't know how accurate that will be (long range forecasts, i.e. more than 2 hours into the future, where I live are notoriously useless). Wished it looked better. Aside from the obvious, my buddy and I are staying an extra day to see the Phillies-Mets game Sunday. Already have tickets, too.

Bethlehem--

Fr 74 high, 52 low, 50% chance of rain, which may include thunderstorms.

Sa 70 high, 43 low 40% chance of rain.

No temps listed for Sunday, but further down the page, looks like more of the same crap.

Harmony Lake (location of Split Rock Resort)

Good grief. Temps have been in the 80's in Philly, and I'm leaving the Seattle area for THIS crappy weather? This is pretty much what we've been getting for the last three months. And tailgating at Cfest should be fun with numb fingers--stop chewing when you hit bone and/ or fingernails.

Dammit!!!!

Been in the 90's last couple of days.

Don't let the "chance of rain" scare you. Every day there is a chance of rain in the mountains. Nice thing is you can see it coming........and going.

Looks like the tailgate party may be over early on saturday if it gets near 38.

I can live with the rain. After all, I was born in Seattle, have lived within 30 miles of the city my whole life. It's the cold temps that tick me off. Seems like we went from a wimpy Summer here in the Pacific NW to about 9 straight months of Winter.

63 numb? I keep my house at that temp all winter long.

Remind me not to visit during the winter.

Do you have your own meat locker in your house?

#5 63 I can handle. 38 and raining? Had enough of it.

#6 Seems that way some times.

What's wrong, Nancy? A little chilly?

NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#8 No. A little depressed. Gray and cold for months at a time will do that. Can't just be a coincidence that Seattle has a high suicide rate.

actually the weather looks like it might be better than last year.

Wasn't last year's high on Saturday in the low 50s?

Did it get that warm?

I don't think so. I froze my ass off- I am not used to being outside in weather that cold.

It was a bit nipply last year. I'm still trying to figure out why they throw this thing in April or early May, as opposed to say July or August. And it comes just two weeks after taxes. If you own a business, you've just had to pay the rest of last year's taxes, the first quarter of this year, the first quarter of state taxes, and unemployment and other taxes.

Then they want you to spend like a drunken sailor (no offense, MACS) at the stores.

Beats me.

You'd be suprised how comfortable 63 can be. The GF stopped bitching about it years ago and just wears a thicker shirt. Her other option was to pay the bill. 38 is the low, but by the time things get going it'll be warmer. By the time you get enough booze and your first half dozen cigars in ya, you'll be peeling off layers.

"just wears a thicker shirt"

...and that is why I keep it a lot warmer.....thin shirts.

Wea re ready for this year. Heated tents with sides to close up if needed.
