It's like when models are showing snow for us in the winter, but when you take into account storm track, local climate, and everything else, you get that sinking feeling that something's going to go wrong. At least I was "prepared" for them to lose. Oh, the joys of being a Sixers fan. I know, right. Of course I thought they wouldn’t lose this one. Since they lost game 5 but they did lose it. Geez.

Plus, Atlanta was confident and the Sixers were anything but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Caps defense, that was before they displayed choking tendencies. Maybe that helped them into it. Cannot imagine how tired they were. If you tried that with me I would come back with the April 1988 game where the Caps came back from down 3-0 in the game and 3-1 in the series to beat the Flyers in OT.

KPITSnow Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Ideal climate city for me I think might be flagstaff. Even as the west is baking they are barely in the 90’s. They don’t get humidity and it is a desert type client so highs generally in the 70’s and 80’s and Lows in the 40’s or 50’s. The winters would also be heaven. They average over 100 inches per year. I honestly can’t think of a better mix as anything east of the Mississippi gets too humid for me, the upper plains are too brutally cold, and the pacific coast you lose seasons and snow.

Jim Jackson is the guy I do not like to listen too. He is too excitable so the whole game is a heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagstaff has a lot going for it. Outside the water issues we spoke about earlier (last week I think). People are usually in a good mood because so many are retired and seem happy.

In fairness, Steve Coates was even worse calling Flyers games of yore. I've heard that Jim Jackson can be a real...well, not an approachable person to meet.

Great points. I've been to Arizona a couple times to visit my grandparents in Cave Creek but haven't made it any farther north than Sedona, which is beautiful by the way.

Bubbler86 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 The irony of the CMC/GFS Cool down vs. EC hot up is that the EC does not clear the front by Sat AM so it potentially ruins the holiday. CMC and GFS are the models to root for in wanting a nice July 4th weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true too, the ridge hasn’t been shoved aside at that point and could lead to a stationary front in the wrong place/garbage weather pattern for the holiday weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, we can be a happy group with a cool/warm 4th after several days of rain during the week.

My niece lives in Flag and loves it. The only bad part is the wildfire potential. It's dry, but there's lots of western pines in Flag and the surrounding area. She was really worried about the Rafael Fire a couple days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, it’s almost July, which means it’s almost almost August, which means it’s almost almost almost September. My Pirates and @Itstrainingtime’s Orioles won’t be playing any meaningful games in those months, but Dwayne Haskins will win the starting nod in the meantime and begin the Steelers’ journey to a 7th Super Bowl.
