Itstrainingtime

I was no where close to any of you. Glad you all did well. It's about time!

Congratulations! Just 1.5" here.

Not a flake here yet - Lanco curse is living on so far...

Maybe he shows up by March?

Overcast and 52. (South Philly)

I'm thinking it's at MU - Elliott had tweeted last week both the number and the fact that Lancaster is the true snow hole of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Standing at 6.6" for the season, Lancaster PA has the lowest seasonal snowfall total of any official reporting site in: Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, and New York. Hopefully they get a nice snowfall with this system.

More from Kyle: It's hard (and unwise!) to ignore the impressive dynamics/lift between the I-81 & I-95 corridors tonight into tomorrow morning.. so I've issued a "Storm Outlook Map" for this sneaky, #SuperBowl Sunday snowfall event. Highest totals likely near the Mason-Dixon line.

Elliott (MU) has been dead on almost all winter with his less than enthused snow forecasts. He's gung ho for tonight and tomorrow:

Any snow left out your way? (other than piles)

53.4 at home at noon. Leaving the office for a lunchtime walk in the sunshine.

Yes, if we were only talking weather right now...well, the thread would be pretty dead. Not that we're quickly filling pages as it is. Maybe March will deliver something to get everyone involved for the real reason why we want to be here.

I know a lot here don't care about Sixers drama like we do, so this will wrap things up for me - I just want to point out that me not liking a trade is not equal to it being a bad trade. The only true barometer of whether or not the trade was good or not will be what happens going forward. The success or lack thereof will ultimately dictate the quality of the deal. I don't like it because while Embiid is taking his game to another level, he is still extremely fragile. He spends more time laying on the floor than my kids did when they were 2. And when; not if, but when he goes down and out again...the cupboard is now bare of bigs. Including Drummond was the sole reason why I don't like the deal. Enjoy the weather. It's the only weather we have.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. First off, I said that I wasn't a fan of the trade. You quoted me complimenting Embiid - that has nothing to do with Simmons. Second - they haven't won a championship in 39 years. Before worrying about what happens after they win it...shouldn't there be some emphasis on like say...winning the title first? Third - I don't think it's fair to say they were ready to be "post Simmons" - Simmons wasn't exactly chomping at the bit to take the floor in a Sixers uniform. He stated many times that that would never happen. He sort of forced their hands a little.

23 for the low here this morning. Cold weather coming is going to feel not-so-great after the last few days. (and today and tomorrow)

He's certainly elevated his game this season. I'd like to see him reduce his turnovers but otherwise he's about as complete a player that a 7' can be.

Embiid has slowly made me a believer this year. He's been incredible for the past 20-25 games. As you said, he's still improving. He's the song that went from #9 to #2 on the Billboard chart this season while Harden has gone from #5 to #13. And that might be generous. Embiid has been so good he's even played spectacularly when I'm in attendance. That alone makes him MVP worthy.

Correct. Local Fuddrucker's have added that to their menu. The Nothingburger is a bun of your choice with Spring lettuce, tomato, and other spring veggies. And nothing else.

Same here. Down 10 to 44 already.

Hmm. Not sure I'd agree with this assertion.

That's exactly why I hated they got rid of Drummond. Terrible mistake.

Brooklyn comes to town on March 10th - last night tickets could be had on Ticket Exchange starting at $22. About an hour ago the cheapest tickets are now $125. I sold my Warriors tickets for $90 a piece...this game is too juicy for me to sell, as tempting as it is. Simmons first game back in Philly? I'm going to be there.

I'm processing what just happened. We gave up a lot - I really liked Drummond. Active hands and ended most games with higher +/- rating than Embiid, believe it or not. We will miss him more than most think. Curry? Meh. Wouldn't mind of keeping him but I'm not sweating his departure. But then the 2 1st round picks. Don't like that either. Never been a Harden fan. Time will ultimately tell how good of a trade this is. First reaction? We gave up a lot for a guy Harden's age that is a little too one dimensional for my liking.

That...was 100% sarcastic.

Ruh roh. Ralph Wiggum has surrendered. He waved the white flag this morning in the Philly thread. Absolutely no point in checking in here until next winter.
