    Something needs to happen, and it needs to happen now. Disgraceful isn't strong enough to describe a blowout loss to a 6 win team. You'd think after what happened Monday night that this team would come out and put away the Sabres early. Instead, they get embarrassed. I literally felt sick watching them tonight.

    I'm just utterly amazed how far they have fallen. It blows my mind. They have so many issues...

    I don't think it's a joke, he either did the math or it was a lucky guess. Meteorological fall actually starts in 153 days. Anyway you guys are the bookends for this subforum weatherwise, lol.

    Nah, I was just wondering and googled.

    Perfect Phils opening day baseball tomorrow at 3pm. Mid 40s w/winds 25-35 mph. WCs in the 30s...

    Here's some philly banter.  Almost 2 weeks ago, on a Wednesday night there was a carjacking at gunpoint in my driveway.  My mom was on a date with a man she had recently started talking to.  They went out to an expensive restaurant in KOP and when he dropped her off, the second she got in the door, two guys came out from my front yard in ski masks and held a gun to the guy's temple demanding his keys, wallet, phone and car.  It was a less than 5 yr old jeep. Of course the police took over 30 mins to respond because Charlestown Township is under state police jurisdiction and theh were coming from Emeryville. 

    So far someone found his wallet up by Temple, which is where i went to college, and the state police were eventually able to locate the car. The theifs had switched another liscense plate onto the car of the same make/model.  The police surveilled the car and waited for the suscpects to get back in.  When they did the police tried to surround the car but everyone jumped out and the car was left in drive and it actually hit an officer.  

    That's pretty much the whole story as of now, they are doing finger prints and were able to get GPS location history on the car after they recovered it.  Staties said they were in some bad spots of philly, but haven't disclosed where the car was found or where the people took it in the time they had it.  I'm guessing Kensington based on where the wallet was found.  What we dont know is why they were targeted, if they were followed from KOP, if a jeep was the target or our township was the focus.  If you think about it Charlestown is a good township to do this in, theres no police force and the turnpike entrance is only 5-10 mins away with no police presence up to that point.

    Totally blows my mind, I was upstairs and didn't see anything.  Need to work on a surveillance system now, we just got a video doorbell but I feel like something mounted on the roof above the driveway would be even better.  Some crazy shit.

    Carjacking is on the rise in/around Philly.

    That really sucks people can't go out/come home and enter their home w/o some jackoff pointing a gun at your head and taking your car/belongings. This was unheard of when I was growing up...pretty sad. Yeah, I would purchase a quality multi camera system. And yes Charlestown seems like an easy target for crime. I lived in Linfield PA for a bit and I don't believe they have a police force and Rt 422 is right there. The bank up the road was robbed twice and I guess they jumped on Rt 422 and were out of there before you know it...

    I thought the Fly Guys were absolutely toast going into the 3rd period last night. Maddening that they slept walked through the first 2 periods, at least they showed a little moxie in the 3rd. 

    I was watching March Madness for the most part but saw the score Flyers down 3 and gave up and didn't switch back. Yeah, that's a nice comeback but they still have some major problems...

    Going to be another example of a +3F month that did not feel like one because it's skewed by 5 or 6 torch days

    Don S was giving the month 50/50 odds at above normal mid month

     

     

    I'm not a big stats guy for this reason unless I lived through it.

    We could get a 24" snowstorm on Dec 27th then blow torch the rest of the winter w/heavy rain. People 75yrs from now will say Philly was above snow average for that particular year...totally skewed and nonsense.

    Yeah, if we could get a stretch of 4 or 5 warm, sunny days, the lawns would really pop. Plenty of buds starting to show on the trees and well.

    45F

    With highs in the 40s Thurs/Fri and nights below freezing plants, buds and grass won't know if they're coming or going....

    Something nasty rolled through Neptune, NJ this evening. Pics I saw were of damage to car windows, and lumber (presumably structure damage) strewn about. Don't know if it was straight line winds or a small spin-up...

    Straight line winds per 6abc at McGurie...

    Watching the news now, yeah Philly S & E got drilled way more than the burbs...I was surprised to see this.

    I'm okay with 60s through April, then 70s in May. I saw a lot of small bugs yesterday and thought of RedSky for some reason. I know he has issues with the stink bugs.

    I've been wondering if the lack of cold this winter will result in more bugs this year.

    Haven't seen any stink bugs yet....spotted lantern flies are suppose to make a return though.

    62F here currently. Beautiful day, great for working outside. 3 days in a row with shorts! Grass is starting to darken up, probably about 10 days away from mowing.

    Got some buds on some bushes and the silver maple, and magnolias and forsythia are getting ready to flower. Saw a couple of butterflies yesterday. Good stuff!

    Eta - just saw the overnight low Thursday night is forecast to be 28F here. Yikes. Time to think about frost blankets and bamboo poles for the white magnolia....

    Thank God. People are such in a rush (even in this subforum) to jump into the 70s'+ and it's still March (avg 50s)...we already hit 80. The warm/hot weather will come eventually. We have the whole damn Summer! I hope April is super below average...stormy, windy and rainy. A flying cow or two would be nice...

    68F
