I feel like aside from 2016 jan storm what have we really had the past 12 years besides a renegade tornado or 2? Can probably go back to Sandy 2012? I know im drawing a blank and something super obvious but seriously, if im not recalling it then it wasnt memorable like those 90s events. Or im just old as dirt and my memory is shot Winters 2014 & 2015 had more snow then 78-79 We also had some record rainfall months and years recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 As our historical snow drought enters yet another year, I thought I'd take a look at the numbers at Philadelphia. Very impressive, with the most recent 10 years checking in as the least snowy on record. 2026 will need at least 27.5" of snow during the calendar year to avoid a new futility record. That's a respectable tally, so it's possible that 2017-2026 could be even less snowy than 2016-2025. Stay tuned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or im just old as dirt and my memory is shot Couple hurricanes that were mostly flood events. You could argue February 2010 perhaps but that was two separate storms in 5 days. People bring up the ice storm in 2013-14 but that was nothing compared to 1994. Speaking of anniversaries. Happy Blizzard of 96 day to those who celebrate.

While the 2020's are less than our last very snowy 2 complete decades - we will likely not see such low totals as the true snow drought years back in the 1930's through 1950's and again in the least snowy decade the 1970's....simple cyclical weather patterns - rinse and repeat!!

ChescoWx Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 February 2010 was the snowiest month I have personally experienced in my life time. Over 5 feet of snow with 3 storms over a foot. Including 26.8" / 18.3" and 13.5" over just 3 weeks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted Tuesday at 06:56 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:56 PM The winter of '94 stands alone as it's my one and only memory of living in the frozen tundra in my lifetime. And I'm old!! At the time I worked for an oil company and those 3 weeks in January were hell. After those 1st few days the service dept was working 24 hrs. Delivery trucks had an awful time getting around and some days they couldn't get out at all! Owner bought 3 or 4 new pickup trucks and put 100 gallon tanks and a pump on the back. Only way to get oil into the larger capacity tanks. Service vans were packed full of 5 gal cans for the standard tanks. School kids were out there helping both the techs and drivers. Everyone wore spikes! In the office the phone rang off the hook! A couple of times the police would show up since customers were having a hard time getting through, they called 911. I had about 4 pages of a legal pad with names and addresses of frozen houses. Our sales team became service techs and owner purchased a machine to help them go on those calls to unfreeze people's pipes. The paperwork and posting of payables and receivables were a lot. Will never forget it. Go Birds! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacChump Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Fitting end. All of the problems they had in the regular season reared their heads and contributed to the loss in this game. Guess that's AJ's last game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago @Birds~69 rough night with the game and the models. AJ is likely gone in the off season. KP needs to go. After replacing AJ, maybe snag some depth at receiving as well (cant just be davante Smith). Otherwise I dont think they are a horrible squad. Just inept on offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this firepower and such predictable playcalling. All year. Changes need to be made. Howie needs to be aggressive AF this offseason. I mean. Winning it all last year kinds takes the sting out but this was embarrassing. Game after game of them just beating themselves. Penalties, execution, dropped balls, missed kicks. Everything. Ponderous man. Just ponderous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcutter Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago So we realized at least two things today. The Eagles will have some major changes related to the offense and believing the models are sniffing out the "big ones" in advance sure does seem like a thing of the past.

It's hard to believe that they are so horrible on offense. Having a top receiver in AJ and a top running back in Barkley and can't do squat. And the play calling is just horrible. So damn vanilla. Lane may retire or in a year or so. Howie likes drafting offensive lineman so that's probably on his list. Overall, a real drag of a season. It seemed like they could never get their shit together...
