The snow started falling at about 1015 hours on Sunday, December 8, 2013. The forecast suggested a rain and snow mix would start around 1500 hours with less than an inch of accumulation. The Eagles game against the Detroit Lions would not be affected.
We were on our way to the game, our first ever Eagles game! This would be the first time we went the the Linc (Lincoln Financial Field, the home of the Philadelphia Eagles.
It took two hours to get from Medford to the stadium. Along the way we saw a half dozen fender benders involving about two dozen vehicles. Driving was treacherous. Top speed on 295 was 20 mph.
Happy to have arrived safely, we found our seats and proceeded to stand for the duration. We're not sure why the seats are there. No one in our section used their seat. With seven layers of clothing, we were reasonably warm. I wore great LL Bean winter socks that kept my feet toasty warm. At half time we enjoyed some really great crab fries from the Chickie's and Pete's truck.
The Eagles made a great come back, scoring 28 points in the final quarter.
The drive home was slow and there were fewer fender benders. We finally made it home at 2030, some ten and a half hours after we started out.
