well technically last week.

[DH]

im pretty sure the roof at the linc will not collapse, regardless of how powerful the gps or euros are.

[smeags]

true and it's a rare event but if a state of emergency is announced the game will be postponed and probably played monday night.

if it can handle a thousand wind turbines it will farg up a snowstorm....but what happens when its both!!

[smeags]

no to sidetrack this discussion because that never happens here but are there any pics of how these wind turbines are going to look ?

[MDS]

its like 80 and sunny here. i had to turn on the ac last night to cool my apt. im not suggesting anyone move to brownsville but i am suggesting you move somewhere warm. its...awesome.

[ice grillin you]

ok so now all the models are aligned for the first time this week...think a general 12-24 from what everything is reading....start would be sunday lasting into monday morning

the euro which historically is the most accurate in predicting big winter storms has been uncannily consistent all week with this....and with apologies to die hard if this thing continues the way its been trending the eagle game could be postponed....this would be just a huge snow event like we had last year but it would also come with crazy strong winds and snow drifts...of course a lot still has to happen but the chances are very real

[Munson]

If it's not going to start until sunday night, I doubt the NFL would postpone it...they'd let them play in high wind and the beginning of a snow storm

[smeags]

the nfl basically has nothing to do with the decision if a state of emergency is called.

[charlie]

The nfl only cares about getting people in, not getting them home.

[Munson]

the nfl basically has nothing to do with the decision if a state of emergency is called.

And if the storm starts later in the day sunday, do you really think they'll declare state of emergency that early?



Besides, I wish state of emergency being declared would be followed as it should be. I was kept at work an extra 3 hours last year during the first big storm after SoE was declared. Had to drive a POS 93 Camry home with a foot+of snow on 202 was good times.

i was just making a general statement that the nfl may not have a choice but to postpone it in the event that a SOE is anounced. aren't there times when that is done prior to the height of a storm in an attempt to get traffic off the roadways so they can be plowed and salted without a ton of drivers ?

[hbionic]

all i can see is that if the girlfriends move to europe, snow will happen. good to know.

  that's what I read. 

[ice grillin you]

its still waaaaay too early to talk game cancellation much less narrow snow totals...but im saying worst case scenario and this storm comes all together its possible...all the ingrediants exist and thats alone is a big deal when you are talking about something potentially this big

its probably right now a 10% chance of philly getting 15+ AND blizzard winds which a lot higher % than philly ever getting that in a particular winter

[Eagles_Legendz]

So what % chance igy would you put on us getting 6+ inches on Sunday?

It seems like it's either going to hit and be big or not hit at all, right?
