waiting to make my inauguration day joke again until the dust settles a bit

We do have a tent (with zippers on the sides) for the reception but might just have to ask everyone to bring umbrellas for the ceremony. That part should be quick though so just 20 minutes without rain between 4:25 and 4:45 is all I ask

There is still quite a bit of spread on the model guidance, with the AI models keeping us dry through midnight Monday and the operational models trending towards a lot of rain, especially the ICON which has been pretty consistent with bringing 2-4+" into the Philly metro. Seems like a lot of moving pieces that need to all be timed pretty perfectly for the serious rain totals and that hasn't worked out for us recently, but that doesn't mean it won't work out this time (and it probably will since this is the one time I don't want it to)! I will note that local NWS discussions and meteorologists seem a lot less bullish on the rain potential than the national ones, which could be hint, or maybe they'll adjust upwards in the coming days.

i was a groomsman in an outdoor wedding on a day it poured...it was memorable and awesome, everyone had umbrellas for the ceremony itself and then took shelter under the tent for the reception...groomsmen snuck a boat out and did a quick fly-by of the reception which was not entirely well received but as long as you have an open bar everyone will have a great time...

I love the old joke about PA. You have Philly to the east and Pittsburgh to the west and Mississippi and Alabama in the middle.  It's basically true 

Yup, pennsyltucky

I've been to Philly a million times i made a wrong turn once or twice and instantly regretted it but made many right turns and found some awesome food. My negative impression with Philly is all sports fan driven. Silver Linings Playbook is accurate 

Good post!

It’s  reputation is that strong I guess

It definitely is, I just wish people had a little more curiosity and would at least try to experience a place for themselves before buying into its reputation…I’ve been surprised before in my travels that a place didn’t fit a certain narrative I had built up in my head about it…as the kids say, it is what it is, not a big deal, I just found that exchange funny

(and I didn’t even mention the kicker in that exchange:”I love me some primanti brothers” lmao)

Philly is a dump

I’m not even arguing about the merits of the city. I love it but some don’t. But to hate a city without even ever having visited it to make your own judgment is hilarious. 

My favorite part:

“I hate Philly, worst town in the world”

“hey they have good food though”

“wouldn’t know, never been there”

good shit

flying out of phl next thursday morning which means this thing will most likely happen, congrats!

Not everyone has a vehicle that can traverse 8.5 inches of wet snow and need to get down their driveways.

that's a flex and i don't like it

looks like philly may get screwed, just can't catch a break this week

This has been a very pleasant game to watch. 

go birds 

thats all

Much closer game than score showed, Daniels is the real deal

When you get this far and beat the number one seed in their home you are no longer playing with house money and you should expect to win…it would be a crushing loss for the commanders and would set the team back a decade and no “I’m happy no matter what happens” fronting can change that

go birds

snow melts I’ll take the SB

wild how it's tapping into that gulf of america moisture

Can’t wait for my heart to start beating again

Anyone else taking the plunge and going to the game Sunday? Ticket prices have been dropping since yesterday and me and my buddy snagged a pair. Figured playoff game in Philly in the snow is not something that happens every day. I'm beyond hyped. Hopefully the storm and/or the game doesn't disappoint! 

on the fence
