A beautiful icy and snow scene yesterday at Cascade Falls at Patapsco Valley State Park.

Wanted to get out of the house so drove to Blackwater Falls in Davis. It was spectacular. Easily 18 inches on the ground and not busy at all. We are all likely getting some snow to scratch that itch,

Excited to be drawing a snow map again (tomorrow)... almost a year to the day since my last one. Hoping the 4-8" band verifies IMBY.

i'm in a strange? situation.  I have a funeral sunday.  Death not unexpected. close family friend in his mid 80s.

I don't want to put my thumb on the scale, but I told the new widow 1-3" is possible giving me some wiggle room.  It's graveside.  Probably 20-30 minutes tops.  But all I can envision is old ladies (like my mom) slipping and sliding in the snow walking to the gravesite.

I'm fine gutting it out, but it could be a debacle lol.  Rescheduling is not optimal.  People are coming in because MLK day makes it easier.

It's gonna be a total shitshow right?

I’m sorry for your loss.  It was a long time ago and I was just a kid, but my grandfather’s funeral was during a typical 2-4” DC snow and there were a lot of old folks there too. We all got through it and the snow made for a special day that my family still talks about fondly.

Regardless of how you feel about the Eagles, if you like watching football, looks like a decent chance for a snow game for the 3pm sunday divisional playoff against the LA Rams. Or Philly will be on the I-95 rain/mix line and it will be a disgusting mess for everyone there, ha.

If you, like me, want them to win: snow game advantage Saquon?

Heh, I gotta go to Lutherville tomorrow for a Sunday service of a long time friend who lost the good fight. He was only 56 yikes.The chance of snow is making me feel bad for the first time maybe ever. But, as always, don't fret things you can't control, put your best foot forward, and let the chips fall. 

I'm gettin tired of driving. 1k mi round trip to Ohio in 36 hours, ran to Pilot Mtn NC and back yesterday. Now Lutherville and back sat/sun. I generally love road trips but right here right now... I'm wearing out

this hurts the rams way more than philly. 

I will admit it should help the eagles. But we dog walked this rams team in the middle of their “run”. When playing  team that’s clearly a level below I don’t like anything that adds variance to the equation.

hopefully people will be smart and dress appropriately--meaning footwear mostly...leather-soled dress shoes and heels will definitely be a problem

agreed, usually shitty conditions favor the weaker team, but in this case the eagles' strengths are their o-line and saquon as opposed to the passing game...snow would seem hurt the rams more...then again, it's the eagles so...

That was my thought. Heavy snow would slow down what I'm scared about: Stafford throwing to Nakua and Kupp

This might be the dumbest question I have ever asked, but I promised my kids a trip to Ski Liberty on Sunday.  Does anyone know of they stay open during a snowstorm?  Yes I know how ridiculous this sounds...

My father once told me, no question is a dumb question.

Clever evade...lol I mean we're not in the same conference so is it just like a beltway rivalry thing?

Ha. Nope. I just don't like them. Never have. I bleed burgundy and gold.

Well the feeling is not mutal...unless we play y'all, of course, lol

And that's fair. We all like what we like and what we don't. I told my sister, who is a huge ravens fan, that I wouldn't have the game on for Christmas. Pretty sure she was ready to beat me up. We did watch the game lol

I agree that the Rams may be at a disadvantage. I recall Stafford brought the Lions into Philly in 2015 or 2014 and shat the bed in a playoff game. But turnovers multiply in bad weather and you can't predict which team will screw up. My Eagles showed who the better team is about 7 weeks ago. Just like they showed Baltimore this year. But turnovers change everything. Where is that Bermuda High when you need it.

Pretty sure ravens beat themselves in that game a bit.
