Itstrainingtime

Not going to lie...I'm making a killing on my 76ers tickets. Resale value is up 288% since the deal for the Beard. Even though I was initially opposed to the deal, I'm certainly reaping the financial rewards now. LOL

Baseball was THE sport in this country when I was growing up. It's unbelievable how far it has fallen in importance, and the players and owners are fully to blame. Makes me sick.

Nothing for me to see here.

Baseball season will be delayed to allow for cleanup from our monster early April blizzard inbound.

I'm sure the Control run shows purples and pinks extending from Maine to just north of Key West.

In literally hundreds of games that I've attended there (mostly between 1992-2007) I have only sat in the lower left field box seats one time. Didn't like it, never had any interest of sitting out there again. Different fans enjoy different things. Not a bad thing at all.

Speaking of baseball, OPCY will look different this season - the O's have moved the left field fence back over 26' and raised the wall from 7' to 13'. Power alley went from an embarrassing 364' to 390'.

Ben Simmons is an Oriole waiting to happen.

Who will play first? Ben Simmons or MLB?

I count at least 5 separate storms on today's 12z GFS - 4 are cutters, 1 is a southern wave that gets precip up the VA/NC border. I don't see any snow on the GFS.

Our #February2022 temperature departure, in aggregate, turned out to be +4.45 degrees. The departure at KLNS (Lancaster) was +4.1 and at KMDT (Harrisburg) was +2.5. Overall, meteorological winter (Dec.-Feb.) averaged 3.51 degrees above normal at @millersvilleu.

Pretty big disparity between MDT and Lancaster. Elliott just tweeted that we ended up about 4.5 degrees AN.

I'm I guess embarrassed to say this but I took my tree down on January 31st...

Looks like February wrapped up between 4-5 degrees above normal. March looks to be more of the same. (both according to MU)

Yes indeed - Happy Met Spring to all!

I follow a couple of mets out there and it looks like it turns colder with what they refer to as "inside sliders" that will provide some snow showers with smallish accumulations. Not a shutout but nothing big looming on the horizon. It seems like it's almost a foregone conclusion that the season winds down this year by May, which is very early. Even in bad years they usually ski on Memorial Day weekend but this year that might not happen.

Hopefully it won't be like the Easter Sunday playoff game against the Bucks back in 1981. Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semis attracted 6,704 fans. It was so bad that all of the lights were turned off in the upper 2 levels of the building. All fans that day were seated in the lower level, most along the baseline. That was a game #7 with Erving, Toney, Jones, etc.

Nope, sorry. Easter isn't until the 17th. Snow chances are the first 7-10 days. Besides, I'll be at the Center watching playoff basketball on Easter.

It's a great video. He does a phenomenal job of breaking things down. He is all but completely writing off March in it's entirety. (and yes, I read what Bob Chill said and I happen to agree with him, but I'm posting Elliott's discussion for viewing pleasure)

During the time period of that Euro depiction, Elliott is calling for highs near 70. LOL

If you have 17 minutes to spare, here is Kyle Elliott's spring outlook. If you don't have 17 minutes, some "highlights": Little to zero chance of snow during the entire month of March (he's been saying this for weeks now) 2-3 days early next week near or into the 70s Very warm March - many days going forward above normal, some 80s possible April - colder than normal (2-4 degrees below normal) Several cut off lows with increasing amounts of moisture Wait for it...wait for it...an increased chance of snow during the first 10 days of April... If you watch the video, it should be the one closest to the bottom of the screen - "Extended Forecast" https://www.millersville.edu/weathercenter/videos.php

It's funny that you posted this - there is no one posting about this in the areas that the storm actually affects. LOL

Here we are on the last day of February, and if you look at the traffic on the board this morning - the number of posts says it all. Hasn't been a post in the M.A long range thread in nearly 2 hours. If you didn't know better and simply went off of activity, I'd think it was summer.

(takes off my HR management hat) There's a big fat F in how I feel about this winter as well.
