March weather. :)

Assistant weather weenie (wife) verified a period of snow flurries at home this morning followed by a period of sleet this afternoon. That goes down as a T.

I was just going to post that! I'll give you a ton of credit, for the grief you get, you keep rolling with it. (I had to laugh yet again this morning when you were reminded that spring discussion goes in the Long Range Discussion even though there's a dedicated thread for Spring talk.) Not to mention...I went back through your threads from 2020 - there was no Long Range Thread in April, May, June, July, August, September...clearly, the Long Range Thread has always been specific to wintry weather threats looming. Rules changed again I guess...

I had a "brief" (5 minute) period of light rain and sleet here at work - not sure if there were any flakes flying up in the Historic District. Nut saw some in Etown which is 5 miles up the road from me.

Looks like maybe @Bubbler86 @Cashtown_Coop might have seen a little somethin' early this morning.

Trixie just asked in the Monday Snow thread that Ji created when watches are going up - I think you should quote her post and put in Sterling's WWA for portions of that thread.

That might be a lot to ask for...

Sixers playing very well these days. What I like most about this team right now is that they're playing unselfishly and staying focused by putting teams away. I'm actually more enthused about this team than any over the last 20 years.

According to Pennlive, the fire is under control now. They also reported that there were no evacuations. It is a chilly morning!

It literally feels about 50 degrees different in the sun sheltered from the wind compared to shady areas in the wind.

Was sort of shocked yesterday afternoon on our walk...it was almost dead calm. It's anything but calm out today. Holy cow it's windy.

Wyoming certainly looks like it will end up as ground zero. Some places already at 20" with a good 12-18 hours to go

@Blizzard of 93 - my 6,000th post HAS to be about snow. Bring this one home next Friday! :)

Strat-o-matic was fun, but I loved playing APBA baseball a whole lot more!

I've despised the Phillies since I was 5 years old. Having said that, as a lifelong diehard fan of baseball and not just the Orioles, I have many fond memories of games at the Vet, and listening to Harry and Richie as a kid was awesome. Those 2 were so much fun to listen to.

My love of baseball started in 1972, and by the 1980s I knew every MLB roster by memory. Some of those years in the mid 80s I saw over 50 games a season between the O's, Phils, and Pirates. I especially loved going to Three Rivers without tickets and getting seats behind the visitors dugout 2 hours before gametime. I was at a Monday night game against the Padres that drew just over 4,000. It was a nice night, too.

Steve "nobody Jeltz" as Chris Berman called him, was so good that he put Lancaster's Tommy Herr on the bench that game.

Doesn't look like much precip at all.

Extremely underrated defensively. Liability at the plate when he first came up but improved a good bit as time went on.

Yep - I got 'em both!

I have the "special" Billy Ripken card...if you know what I mean.

Great memories for me of bumper to bumper parking in the old Eastern High School lot.

I remember Fenway routinely hosting crowds of 10,000-15,000 when I was growing up. I don't care where you play outside of LA, if you don't win regularly fans will not show up.

Long time O's partial season ticket holder here since the mid 1980s. Last year's team was super fun to watch - I'm concerned we take a step back this year. Hopefully not.

Baltimore Orioles set to welcome O's fans back to Camden Yards! Setting a 25% capacity limit to start the season. Soooooooooooo...how are we going to get 11,000 to show up to see them?
