Temps is the 30s and 40s w/rain is damp/raw and feels cold. That was my point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my point. indeed, my guess is that moist air is more heat conductive than dry air. In other words it has more propensity to ether!

I finished almost 10 inches above average because of largely one storm. In this year, I think it's a higher than normal chance for something similar to occur. Maybe not a winter of yore but snow wise, I don't think anyone can ever say in this era of climate change that there's no shot for a big snow this winter or really any winter. 15-2016 had no business being an above average winter yet it was. Like I said in the other thread, I think it's becoming more likely we see a brief period of favorable looks where we will score either in the beginning or end with minor events possible in between. Not winter of yore but not a total blank. It is clear the pattern is certainly more delayed than anticipated as it looks like late January now at the earliest. Justin, as you know I am not a subscriber to climate change hysteria....until we have at least 500 years of accurate data I won't bite....by then both of us will be long gone. That said I do believe in climate patterns and cycles....we have had an incredibly snowy period during the last 20 years....we will for sure revert to lower than normal and folks that prescribe to climate change will attribute the lack of snow or even no snow in a winter season which I think we see in the next 10 years to climate change. As my favorite original weather weeny Ben Franklin said - folks will always say weather is changing and it was colder when I was younger....heck my Dad always says there was always snow on the ground in the 40's and 50's...but the facts do not support that.....I am all about the facts and only thermometers outside of heat island's like PHL. All that said while not a winter of yore....I remain confident we see some significant winter events before the Phillies start their season!!

Steve - so far it has been a great off season IMHO - they have significantly upgraded at 3 of the 8 positions and a big addition to the Bullpen. LF with McCutchen; SS with Segura; 1B with Hoskins and Robertson for the back end of the pen. Now even without any other signings I believe they are now an above .500 team for the 1st time since the glory years of 2007-12. Regarding the big signings....I mean what Philly team has ever committed to spending "stupid money" to make the team better than the Phils? I have never believed they would sign either Harper or Machado....but that is certainly no fault of the Phillies. They will overpay with offers for both players....but may lose out as it has nothing to do with the Phillies willingness to spend and improve the team. If Machado wants to be a Yankee and Harper a Dodger they will not get either player...no matter how much they overpay Now some philly fans that don't understand the dynamic of baseball may say the Phils failed....and that will be the vast majority of the Philly sports fan view. I like many will be disappointed that they do not sign either one of these players....but I will not fault the Phils. They are doing all they can to get better....an I think they will be better in 2019 either way. Keep the faith!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was NEVER big on them spending 350$ million on a Harper or Machado. They made some significant improvements as you said....I can live with that. Another solid ace would be nice but maybe that's a pickup they make when they are on the cusp of being a contender. Was glad to see Santana go. Herrera needs to have a more consistently productive year in 2019. On the right track Phinally! Now about those Flyers lol..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why he has a devoted following. Admittedly, he has to eat crow more frequently than some as a result, but he clearly sees it as a reasonable tradeoff.

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 I actually think the worst loss of the season against the saints earlier this season will serve as more motivation for this defense. This D is like a Hornets nest again and we outdueled the top D in the league today. Completely different team than when the Saints played the Eagles in the regular season. I am ' cautiously optimistic' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I’m wrong I kind of agree with this. I can easily see an extended suppressed pattern then a 7 day window of opportunity when it finally relaxes. EPS weeklies and CFS have been hinting at this. Like you, I also hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
