    I'm not really mad about last night's loss. I'd much rather the loss yesterday than next week. If the Eagles had won last night and lost next week, it would have been all for nothing. At least if the Eagles win next week, then everything is forgiven.

    It's not like we had a perfect home season to defend. (I'm still a bit annoyed that we lost the last game of the 2017 season to the Cowboys before winning Super Bowl LII, but it's been forgiven.) Besides, we kept the 11-win regular season streak alive, and have a chance to tie 2000-04 next year.

    Not for me. If they win against the 49ers then go on the road and lose. I'll say to myself that should have been a home game....

    I was there yesterday. It was cold. 

    Backups played like.... backups.  No one was really into the game.  I seriously hope they are done with Sidney Brown and Keelee Rongo. Two major busts.

    Another game where the Eagles beat the Eagles. Self-inflicted penalties and sloppy play calling.  Gonna be a quick game next week if the play calling is the same. 

    McKee is who he is. Probably would be better with the #1 team but... 

     

    The 49ers are last in the league at generating sacks so Hurts "should" have time. And their run D isn't all that stellar either so Barkley "should" get some yards. If they can't generate points Patullo needs to be canned and the offensive play calling revamped...

    Birds 3 point favorites...

    Is it common practice for a team with second seed up for grabs to rest starters i wouldn't think anybody would do that.

    It's not common practice. Nick probably thought he could rest the starters and still win w/the backups. Also, showcase McKee who they'll probably entertain trade talks in the offseason. Everything pretty much failed...

    Nick is going to hear shit if the eagles lose the second seed because he rested the starters.

    Bears losing 13-0 (good), Birds down 10-7 (bad). Both games at the half...

    WIP overload tonight. Fire Nick will be the theme....

    Huge Dan Campbell fan, he’ll have his guys ready to play. Enjoy the week off of tracking, after Monday we get a nice warm up for a few days to defrost before heading back into the freezer the following week. I’m hoping I can squeeze a day at the golf range before the rain next weekend.

    Although I like the cold and winter weather, a week break is nice once in a while (but no more!) I can catch up on things without freezing my ass off every time I go outside.

    Still some nice mounds in the parking lots which my weenie eyes observes probably too often. An accident waiting to happen especially in parking lots where  people have their head up their asses searching for parking spots which are literally 5 ft closer than an already open spot....

    Jan 2016 storm I think I started a week out. That was a well-modeled storm.

    And more times than not it doesn't pan out. Either the precipitation is down or the rain snow line is trending toward the Poconos.

    I have high blood pressure. No sense of stressing myself for 5 days following models 24hrs/day when I can do it in 3.

    Looks like we have about a week+ of probably nothing. Maybe I'll get some shit done.

    Go Birds and let's get the number two seed today...hope all the Bears players have the flu and can't play.

    And the Euro has a really.nice hit jan 13

    Good Lord, you'll never learn.

    You may experiencing a upper frontal lobe past memory brain infection which affects expectations on future events which are unrealistic results/outcomes. Happens mainly within the weather community.

    Treatment: Review the 99.999% of the time this didn't occur then smack yourself in the head 6 or 7 times, kick trashcans then tell yourself don't do this again until it happens again. Repeat therapy as needed...

    This is some torch we are in. Being sarcastic obviously, but remember when guidance had Dec 24-Jan 10 as a total torch job? Now it even appears the real moderation period that is coming next week will be muted and short-lived with seasonal cold returning by later next weekend.

    I just have this feeling our snowiest month is behind us (Dec) and we'll eek out the season in the 20-25" range total which isn't horrible but w/all the cold around I would have expected more. Still early of course and it's good to see flakes flying every other day but the season ending amount may not be all that impressive. 

    Hopefully we reload after the brief warmup and blast the rest of Jan into Feb...

    Amazing there wasn't, and still isn't, no mention of this light snow in Mt Holly's forecast.

    Google weather had it. Almost down to a tee as far as start and stop time.

    For just East Nantmeal 30.4 average temp which was 5.9 degrees below normal. Will compile all stations and year later today.

    Happy New Year

    Paul

    Thanks. 

    Not to be greedy but when we are minus 5.9F I think we should have scored more snow than we actually did. Either way, this December was a solid "A" grade.
