there are two 24th?
And you better get rid of those showers.
Tuesday 24th "Cloudy with the chance of meatballs"
I corrected the dates, thanks.
Maybe the forecast of showers will give some attendees a hint. Unfortunately, I don't think those attendees know who they are.
I can make it rain by buying a large item in the hall that is farthest from where my car is parked.
April 27: Clear with scattered Hudsons and an occasional downpour of F3's. Cloudy in the afternoon as the ATM empties and Atlas O track vaporizes. A hot blast of scratch built. coal towers in the evening.
It's 92 right now here, so that weather sounds perfect! I'll be sure to bring a rain jacket though as I'm walking from my hotel to the fairgrounds. It's only 4 blocks.
GG1, I will be at the Grand Canyon in early May. I hope it is in the 80's. I don't get it, GG1's in Arizona??????
It better not rain, I'm all out of plastic garbage bags.

There are showers at the fairgrounds but hardly anyone uses them. 
So, what I guess what you're saying is...
it is safe for me to take the 40" Monster Mudders off of my C5 Corvette and put them away until next season?
Someone, anyone, everyone, please remind me to pull the battery out of my stinking cell phone this time so my boss can't reach me!!!
Bad news!!! They are now predicting sunny and warm for all 3 days. I shutter to think what the weather will end up being.
Doesn't look too good right now.
Critical days for me are Tuesday and Wednesday. Rain those days pretty much kill the Wyndom Bandits.

I grew up on the Jersey Shore and watched and rode behind GG1s from around 1975 to 1983 on the last run. Being my formative years in the Hobby it's always been my favorite locomotive. I've lost count of how many I have in O, HO and N. Over 60 at least.
The south rim of the Grand Canyon in May should be very nice. Likely 70's and 80's since it's at 7,000 feet. Phoenix, will be well into the 100's by then since we only sit at an elevation of 1000 feet. If you are flying into Phoenix and renting a car to drive north, you'll get a brief taste of the weather here!
Pete, Same with me. I get there on Sunday night and rain will partially ruin my first 3 days there.

66 degrees and sunny here today .... pretty big hole !
Im ready to go home ...I miss my dog !
Jonathan, I too took the Jersey Coast Line. I got on at South Amboy where electrification began (in that era) and where the diesels were swapped out for the GG1's. And the GG1 would wobble its way over the miserable track bed which was the Jersey Coast Line until it hit the mainline and then those babies would take off like they were brand new. A great ride.

Yep, they don't want to spend the quarters there but rather use the free showers from the sky!
According to Intellicast things are looking up.
The weather is looking much better today 4/18
Yes it is. Weather Channel is showing low 70s with 10% chance of rain. Much different than just a few days ago.
Rain all it wants... I am going to be inside looking at trains.
Looks like we will have a great week
eddie g posted:Looks like we will have a great week
Don't bet on it. Weather changes everyday here in South Central PA.
The weather guessers can't get it right in 24 hrs.
Everybody, be safe, well, and have the perfect weather! Happy York days!
I can hardly wait to hear all the stories and assessments.

I'll be prepared either way but certainly am hoping for the best.

Especially if you're parked in a low spot, been there, done that, could have used a rubber raft that day.

I hope the air conditioning is working in all the buildings. 86 degrees Thursday 88 degrees Friday.

For myself, I start checking the weather starting Wednesday the 26th. According to two sources, it will be slightly cloudy for Wednesday through Saturday and no rain. And for Mr. LIONMAN, I hope the A/C Units are on in the halls as they can get a little humid, thus making it harder to concentrate on making a deal here or there.
Dress for heat! Around 80
The weather is looking not so good for those that come early in the week like me. Looking good for Thursday thru Saturday.

And take a shower!
At the last York, the weather was so nice Wednesday nite, I slid my portable layout out the back of my custom campervan and ran trains for a few hours....did it again on Thursday morning.... hope to do that again on this trip!
Eddie
There has got to be some kind of award for that dedication

First 3 day's not looking good.
Yea but....Weather channel online is showing 80/82 for show days. Just what us Mich. guys were hoping for.
Wednesday.............chance of Side Rod being at the parking lot waaay too early.................Barney & Scott being fashionably late and holding up the gang possibly due to a cigar break .........
...H. Clarke flying in from Texas and boy are his arms tired................then Gary Noel possibly beating Side Rod to the parking lot!
Then many new friends at Jiffy Lube.....er.......Quacker State & Lubed (as in beverages)!
