Guest greg72monte Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Mostly partly, with highs in the upper lowers, chances of increasing darkness towards evening, brightness towards morning........... <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shop Rat Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 One year it is sunscreen and wishing it would cool off for just five minutes. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />Then next it is eight layers of clothes with the outer layer being a down filled jacket with hood and wishing that you could feel your toes. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Then low and behold the next year you have gone hunting for hip-waders and wondering if the mud stains (yes most of the mud is gone but there are still some areas....) will ever come out of your pants legs and tennis shoes. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />ex98thdrill is correct, bring clothes for all weather conditions. Last year there were nearly gale force winds. Just ask Bookreader, she'll tell you. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 weather almanac says:Oct. 1-7: Sunny, warm Oct. 8-11: Showers, coolGame plan: First day cover orange field to hopefully avoid any mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetaxi Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Whatever the weather, it probably will be warmer than below zero and snow that we will probably be starting into here by then!Greg's forecast seems the most reliable, but novaman's advice is good.

novaman Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Larry, please turn off your caps lock. All capitals is considered shouting on a discussion forum. What year and model is your Ford? I'll <span style="font-weight: bold">try</span> to make it over there but it seems lately everyone wants to stop and talk to me. At Ashville, I never made it out of the parking lot area I judged in. Saw about 1/3 of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 You're getting real popular David.

flaacajunior Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 you know someone could make alot of money with a physic prediction of rain for the show. When was the last time it didnt rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK Sr. Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 flaacajunior, It never rains at Hershey, that is liquid sunshine or HERCO's dust control at work. 2004 was dry. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 My Dad claims that we (AACA) come to Hershey so it will rain and we stir up the next year's supply of Kiss mix. I do miss the unpaved fields. I loved watching people trying to walk in the mud. The best one I saw was a guy that had fallen and was covered in mud on one side. Been long enough that it had dried. While crossing an intersection in front of me slipped, and fell on the other side. Now completely covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novaman Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Wayne, it's more like I need to run from office or something. Too many irons in the fire. And as for the popular part, what scares the bejeebers out of me is when a national officer walks up to me and says "David, how are you doing" with a <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> big smile. Especially an officer I really don't know. Usally means something like we want you and/or your region to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex98thdrill Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Bring clothes for all weather, comfortable shows (and spares if they get wet), and as much money as you can. Although it isn't actually printed in the rulebook, it is an unwritten rule that no one leaves Hershey without spending money. I'm not talking about food or parking, I'm talking about the swap meet.

John_S_in_Penna Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I'll give my experiences seriously in case someone reading this is coming from out of the area or for the first time! As someone who lives in the area and who has attended the show for the last 15 years or more, let me assure you (as others did) that southern Pennsylvania's weather in early October can be variable. Unusually nice sunny days might hit the low 70's; but, at the other extreme, a misty overcast day might not get out of the 40's. (That's the Fahrenheit scale for those coming from out of the country.)The typical temperature is more likely to be in the upper half of the range given. Nice days in the 60's aren't uncommon, and the day that hits 70 isn't rare either. On the warmest days a minority of people may wear shorts, but usually a light jacket will suffice. Be prepared with layered clothes or warmer clothes, though: if you're sitting all day beside your car-corral or flea-market space, 45 degrees and drizzle can seem awfully cold! (Barrow, Alaska residents may have a different tolerance!)Weather forecasts here tend not to be reliable if they're more than a few days in advance; so this is my climatic recollection.

novaman Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 forecast for the next 10 days (thru 9/24) shows chance of rain tuesday (19th) & Sunday (24th). Wednesday low of 48°- (pack long johns) otherwise 50's. Highs in the 60's to low 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
