    First of all, I don't think think your post will make it past the mods, for swearing!  Second, it's pretty deceiving to put multiple locations down for yourself -- pick 1!    Third, I live in Tucson, so I don't post snow totals!!

    And fourth, I thought LV in my handle narrowed down my location enough -- it means Lehigh Valley (for Agnes!)

    this is a doozy...part of me wants to know how you like tucson, pa, and the other part doesn't really care enough to open that can of worms...

    primarily you need to simmer down a bit

    Taking this to banter, but can anyone explain or justify this man’s maps? Why are they habitually very bullish and (perhaps more importantly) why does his constituency not skewer him for constantly busting? Maybe it’s just MBY, but I usually see 2” less than is on these things. I just don’t get it.

    answer is as old as time:  SECS sells

    Just married! But my dad had a minor heart attack this morning. He’s doing ok, and I’m just happy he’s that way. Crazy day. Totally exhausted.

    that sucks man...sorry about your dad, too

    Is the boardwalk area on the east(?) side beyond the pond new-ish, or am I just not remembering it?  We were there about a decade ago and the again about 4 years ago with the kid, but in the latter trip we didn’t go as far.

    Amazing how Buck and Aikman had the pulse of the nervous Vikings fans at 29-7, and the immediately the next ball gets tipped into a pick and it just snowballs.  The cornerback situation is just atrocious behind Peterson.

    Yes, they built that boardwalk along the meadow a few years ago. When they shut down the main fountains to completely renovate them (it took years) that whole part of the gardens was closed so they added that walkway and some light installations to make up for it a bit.

    Up in PA for a couple of days to get away from home.  Longwood Christmas is amazing.

     I’ve been in this area coming up on two decades and realized that this was the first time that I didn’t use the 95 or 270 corridors to travel north through Maryland.  Going up 695 to 83 I saw signs for all of the places I only hear about because of this forum!

    And the typical MD story, I was on 695 coming up on a work van that had the “this vehicle travels the speed limit” sticker.  It was going ~17 over, which I thought was about right for MD speed limits.

    It's the best!

    Mini-map turns 9 a couple days before Christmas, so we are planning on surprising her with a trip to Longwood the evening of her birthday to look at the lights. I cannot wait to see her reaction to all the lights! Mr. Map and I went there years ago for one of our wedding anniversaries, and it was so lovely. :D 

    And I hope you waved to the Parkton sign on 83 ;) 

    Christmas at Longwood is definitely worth the trip but don't sleep on it in other seasons...we go year round as it's pretty close and we have a membership but in particular late April through May is amazing and the fountain shows at night in the summer are really cool as well...

    Seeing this, maybe I will stir the pot a little.  Quite honestly the best (though still not great nor accurate) explanation for the perimeter of this forum is that it covers the Mt. Holly NWS region.  OK, first, that's not accurate, this forum covers "PHL metro, South and Central NJ, Northern DE and South Central PA."  While this includes the Mt Holly area, the latter area also includes Sussex cty NJ and Carbon cty Pa.  That fact eliminates the justification for this forum based on the notion that it covers only the local weather of the people who object to merger.  Conversely. Mt. Holly covers Middlesex cty NJ while Upton NWS covers Union (the counties are right next to each other).  I've come to the conclusion that the objectors like a smaller group and/or like those who are still in this forum, and not so much the "NYC types."   That's OK I suppose but recognize it for what it is; it has little to do with local weather.  So to JTA66, ask yourself,  does a poster in Cape May cares that people in Lansdale are "seeing flakes"?  And, FWIW, I as well as many in the Mt. Holly region saw those same flakes last night. 

     

    duh

    Philadelphia Union had 11 players - 8 regular starters - out due to COVID protocol for their MLS Conference Final today. All players were fully vaccinated. They went up 1-0 in the second half, but ended up losing 2-1.

    What a brutal way to end a season. They deserved so much better.

    Agree, that was a heartbreaker.

    Dominating 2-0 win for the US against Mexico last night. Can’t recall a similar performance from us…ever?

    Yeah, not sure I can think of a better one.

    Actually going to qualify for the WC this time?

    We’re top of the table halfway through the final round, so we’re in a good spot. It’s an insanely young (and talented) team but it’s finally gelling. Also, barring any more injuries, we could have all our first-choice starters on the field when qualifying resumes in January.

    Seven more games to go. If we pick up just 10 points in those games, we’re pretty much guaranteed to qualify.

    effin a, man

    Exactly. Way more NY posters and I would have to read though a bunch of garbage just to find out conditions/forecast in SE PA and Mid-S parts of jersey.

    *BTW...why the hell was this bumped to begin with?

    rjay has no playoff baseball to watch so he's killing time until winter
