So as long as Embiid doesn't get injured and given where they stand at the moment (even without any Simmons at all this season), and if the chemistry works out somehow (with Harden becoming the sort of "vet" of the team), then he could help propel the '76ers into the playoffs. IMHO, Simmons probably never wanted to be here in the first place and we ended up with what we got... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine having a salary of 35mil/yr and opt to stay home? I could hate everyone in the organization, people throwing rocks/hand grenades on my way to work and I'd still go. Correct and most people don't know this but is huge. Harden is only under contract though next season. My guess is if the Sixers don't win a championship this year or next they won't extend Harden which is great and move on since he'll be 35. Hell, they saved money this year fining Simmons more than 20mil for not attending practices, meetings and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 well, my 90 day forecast FWIW. Brutal ending to Feb. No more major snowfalls in Feb. Temps warm up above average. Precip- dry as a bone with occasional light rain showers with progressive cool fronts- nothing more than 1 in at the max March - only one decent chance for a major accumulating snow event. It will be the last hurrah and capper for this pitiful winter. Most likely to take place around the Philly Flower show time. Then it melts and Spring shows it face. Temps stay normal starting late March. Precip, dry as a bone except for this one major storm. Major pattern change opens up late in March to a -NAO April begins with the -NAO cloudy and cooler than normal before another new pattern change. After mid April, the stove turns on and dry conditions persist. I expect drought conditions to persist until the GOM opens up with t-storms. I expect a hell of season for early severe weather threats for the midwest, TN Valley and even the Ohio Valley as temps change drastically in mid April in the new pattern change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flower show will be cancelled this year due to the massive Haboob’s blowing in from the Lehigh valley. The wildfires up there block out the sun for a time. Delaware river runs dry by June. Tough times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really, the only one that will be laughing will be Nestle and Niagara as they raise the living hell out of the price for bottled water as they impose self restricted withdrawals from their water sources. Over 75% of the bottled water sold in our area comes from the water bottlers in the LV, including any Samuel Adams beer, Ocean Spray products and coke products 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, the Delaware Bay is a saltwater body until you get to around Salem (give or take) which essentially is where it turns into the Delaware River. Sometimes during drought, the salt line can get up to the Commodore Barry Bridge. No evidence of such an event or even drought conditions at this current point. So you think Nestlé is going to hike prices because of a water shortage? Not because of inflation or other skyrocketing prices? Cool narrative bro.

Albedoman Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 yep. Realistically, both will contribute but as water sources become less efficient and ground water tables fall, fuel costs to transport rise dramatically as nearby water immediate well sources go off line as well as increased pumping costs for each well. It is not cheap to run the pumps deeper. Self imposed restrictions water withdrawal limits set by the company and as set by DRBC/PADEP permitting requirements for specific water withdrawals for each well will help contribute to the increase cost of production. You may want to ask Voyager as I believe he operates water tankers for a living. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually heard him on KYW do a weather report during this past storm, I think either yesterday or Thursday. It was the first time I heard him on the radio in a long time so figured he was really starting to phase himself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 You could tell Glenn was fading himself out when he reduced his role to the morning weather broadcast. (Kinda like Jim Gardner only does the 6pm news) Also Glenn turned 70 so now he'll receive his full social security benefit. And a slick move to make Friday May 27th his last day (Memorial day weekend)...what a way to kick off summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattinpa Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Still looks like a chance of snow mid month, but if not, spring can start as long as we don’t go into severe season early. Last summer in our region felt like we were in the Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
