Itstrainingtime

Tomorrow officially starts the march towards winter.

Yes. I have playoff priority with my season membership.

I'm going.

I feel your pain. I'm running well behind a lot of people for rainfall.

Noticed most of the more significant cells are north of Harrisburg moving east. Down this way the coverage is a bit better but the rain is generally light. .08" here over the past 2 hours.

Yep...on and off rain here since about 2:45. Looks like we'll be drying out in the next hour.

It sure is soupy out. Environment seems ripe for something to happen later...time will tell. I'm at 84/69 here.

Also - grass has browned quickly again this week. Really noticing it today.

She's getting toasty this afternoon - up to 87 here. My point and click is for a high of 84.

The 80 you see on the map between Columbia and Elizabethtown is 2 miles down the road from me. I'm at 81 now.

CTP only has me at 30-40% probs until early next week. They don't seem overly enthused about rain chances east of the river until later Monday into Tuesday.

I like to post this mainly for entertainment purposes - this map often seems to be wrong unless it shows 10" of rain over OBX which verified perfectly, but here is WPC's take on the next week and rainfall: Not a "lot" of rain over eastern PA considering we have several chances to get wet.

We've been talking about temps, but my dewpoint at 6pm on June 17th is 39. 39.

It's not good for a company that thrives on people buying ice cream and iced tea. We NEED hot weather. (even if I grouse a bit)

They looked like a defeated team last night.

Yes, I know what I'm talking about. I've been going to games since 1975. I've been to close to 800 games in person. I know the game pretty well... I'm not arguing about Simmons. I agree with you - but what did Embiid shoot over the final 8 minutes? Look at every elite team in recent history...every one of them had a star. Did MJ disappear in the final minutes? Lebron? Kobe? Of course not. The ball ended up in their hands, and they delivered. Embiid is our man. Last night, down the stretch, he had multiple turnovers, 2 HUGE missed free throws, and very little else. Yes, no one else did a damn thing. I get that. I was there. I can tell you that there were others leaving last night saying the same thing that I am now. While he had no help other than from Seth, he did nothing in the final minutes other than turn it over. Sorry, that's just the facts. I'll go now. Thought this could be a place to talk and not be insulted.

You guys know how I feel today? Imagine us all going to bed at 11pm on a winter's night with the promise of 2' of snow coming the next day. Then waking up to Partly Sunny and nothing at all. It's a sucker punch and I'm pissed. Moving on to better things...

No leader on the floor. Atlanta was down big, you could see it...feel it...they were unfazed. You could sense that they honestly thought they would come back. I don't like Trae Young, but man, he has been so clutch down the stretch so many times in the postseason already. Once they got the lead under double digits...you could see it...feel it...the Sixers were defeated. When it got to 104-96 Philly, I "knew" the game was over. You could sense it. Embiid disappeared when we needed him most.

Dwayne Haskins will turn those frowns upside down.

@Birds~69 my point is...Embiid is our "money guy." Yet, what is our record in games decided by less than 10 points in the playoffs? I believe it's 1-4. That's not #1 seed worthy. With a superstar it should be better than that. He's not delivering down the stretch.

Can't argue your points. Wish you could be more respectful of mine. Trae has stepped up late in how many games? Embiid has not. That's how I see it.

I had Flyers season tickets in the 90s. Gave them up because it was a hassle on Saturdays to get from Philly to Hersheypark arena for the Bear's game that night. Yes, I had both simultaneously. Now, I just have the 76ers. Why, I do not know...

If the Euro is still truly the king of models, exhibit A of why I refuse to model hug. (in the winter) Perfect recipe for a whole lot of disappointment. They are a tool, nothing more or less. End rant.

My son (26) and I own season memberships. I have told him since day #1 this team will sink at the stripe. It's sickening how bad as a team the Sixers are...but yeah...Simmons is embarrassing.

In fairness - while both were absent when needed most, look at the last 7-8 minutes of the game. While Young was doing his thing for ATL, WTF was Embiid? After an amazing first 3 quarters, he disappeared when we needed him most. I'm also growing tired of his constant flopping. Own the paint and dominate and stop begging for free throws.
