When some West Philly kids heard the seasonâ€™s first major snow was on the forecast, they scoffed. This climate change generation had been burned before by the weathermanâ€™s prognostications, and wouldnâ€™t be fooled again.","type":"text"},{"content":"

â€œThese people are kidding themselves. Itâ€™s not gonna snow,â€ said Cece Jerolmack, 11, about her hardened mindset. But that skepticism didnâ€™t stop her from celebrating the snow when it arrived, as well as a day off from school.","type":"text"},{"content":"

She and her twin sister, Ines, were among the dozens of kids and parents taking on the slopes of the Clark Park with their sleds.

The airport is encouraging travelers to stay in touch with their airlines for up-to-date flight information.","type":"text"},{"content":"

To make way for the flights that are taking off, a fleet of snow plows and salt trucks have been continuously clearing some 40-million square feet of snow and ice from runways and taxiways.

Forecasters were awaiting updated computer guidance, but he said he expected the snow, which has been falling at varying intensities, to continue for the next three or four hours. Another round of light snow is possible Monday night, he added.","type":"text"},{"content":"

In southern Delaware, where reports of up to 8 inches already have been logged, and deep South Jersey, including the Shore, accumulating snow is expected to continue until about 4, he said. Then after about a three-hour lull, it is expected to pick up again and continue until late Monday night.","type":"text"},{"content":"

Once the snow stops, winds are due to pick up during the early morning hours and become gusty after daybreak Tuesday, and that will be blowing around the powder that remains on the ground.","type":"text"},{"content":"

When it snows at Philadelphia International Airport, some 40 million square feet need to be cleared which includes airplane runways and taxiways.","type":"text"},{"content":"

Vehicles with plows and brooms start to clear the snow at the airport typically as soon as more than half an inch of wet snow or two inches of dry snow accumulate on runways, according to a statement from the airport.","type":"text"},{"content":"

On Monday, up to four inches of snow are expected in Philadelphia, and work has been underway to clear the airportâ€™s snow and ice. Roughly 60 flights had been cancelled at PHL including outgoing and incoming trips as of 8:30 a.m.","type":"text"},{"content":"

Keeping the airport running includes deploying plows, brooms, deicing fluid and salt trucks. A â€œjet broomâ€ at PHL includes a 28-foot plow, 20-foot broom and can carry over 2,000 gallons of deicing liquid. In total, the airportâ€™s snow equipment can hold roughly 90,000 gallons of deicing liquid and PHL can also store 2,000 tons of salt in a barn.","type":"text"},{"content":"

Even before the snow falls, the airport is busy preparing for it. Runways are treated by deicer trucks and salt is added to roads.","type":"text"},{"content":"

The airportâ€™s fleet of snow tackling machinery sport weather appropriate names: Snow Angel, Ice Wookie, Multifarious, Snowmizer, Snow Slayer, Time Bandit, Arctic Fox, Snow Jawn, Norâ€™easter, Yeti, Storm Breaker, Terra Hawk, Silver Hawk, Heatwave, Tropic Breeze, and Heatmizer.","type":"text"},{"content":"

This snowfall isnâ€™t going to come close to measuring up to it, but this happens to be the eve of the 29th anniversary of the biggest snow on record in Philadelphia, 30.7 inches on Jan. 7-8, 1996. Thatâ€™s about seven more inches than the cityâ€™s average for an entire season. Snow records in Philly date to the winter of 1884-85, and nothing before or since has matched that total.","type":"text"},{"content":"

It also was the highest among among the I-95 cities for a storm in which 20 inches or more fell upon an area inhabited by nearly 40 million people from Virginia to Massachusetts.","type":"text"},{"type":"image"},{"content":"

â€œThis was the storm for the ages, no question about it,â€ observed Louis W.

One footnote: Phillyâ€™s total became a subject of controversy since it wasnâ€™t measured directly but estimated based on the air temperature and the precipitation amount.

Itâ€™s hard to imagine what the Eagles offense would look like without him, often serving as both the steadying force for the group early in games and the unstoppable one in the fourth quarter with leads to protect.","type":"text"},{"content":"While Jalen Hurts and Lane Johnson each could make a strong case for this award, Barkley gets the edge as the NFLâ€™s leader in rushing yards and touches while serving as the focal point of the Eagles offense. According to Next Gen Stats, Barkley was responsible for 36.6% of the Eaglesâ€™ scrimmage yards this season while no other player in the league accounted for more than 30%.","type":"text"},{"type":"image"},{"content":"Most improved: Zack Baun","type":"header"},{"content":"It was only 10 months ago that Zack Baun signed a one-year deal with the Eagles and made the case for why he was open to being labeled a â€œhybridâ€ player capable of splitting time between the outside and off-ball linebacker positions. Sixteen games later, Baun has cemented himself as one of the best off-ball linebackers in the NFL with a Pro Bowl nod and a strong case to be on the All-Pro team next week as well.","type":"text"},{"content":"Jeff McLane: Eaglesâ€™ Jordan Davis accepted his lesser role, but heâ€™ll be needed to stop the Packers in the playoffs","type":"interstitial_link"},{"content":"According to Next Gen, Baun leads the league in â€œstops,â€ a metric that tracks how often a playerâ€™s tackle ends in a favorable result for the defense and finished the season in the top 10 with 150 total tackles. Not bad for a converted edge rusher.","type":"text"},{"content":"Most improved, homegrown edition: Nakobe Dean","type":"header"},{"content":"While itâ€™s easy to point out Baun and Mekhi Becton as two of the Eaglesâ€™ most improved players, each of them signed with the team in the offseason. For a homegrown player worthy of the honor, Nakobe Dean stands out.","type":"text"},{"content":"Dean earned the starting linebacker role opposite Baun with a strong training camp and stayed mostly healthy throughout the season. He made 15 starts after dealing with injuries in the first couple years of his career. He finished second on the team with 128 total tackles and added three sacks serving as an opportunistic blitzer in certain situations.","type":"text"},{"content":"Eagles-Packers: Four matchups to watch in a wild-card playoff rematch","type":"interstitial_link"},{"content":"For the first time since the Eagles selected him in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft, Dean looked like the player many envisioned him becoming during his days starring at Georgia.","type":"text"},{"content":"Biggest surprise: Cooper DeJean","type":"header"},{"type":"image"},{"content":"Given his draft position and college production, it wasnâ€™t hard to see Cooper DeJean eventually becoming the starting nickel cornerback in the Eaglesâ€™ secondary this season. But even those most bullish on him likely didnâ€™t expect the second-round pick to play at such a high level so early in his career.","type":"text"},{"content":"David Murphy: Road to the Super Bowl is much tougher than 2017 or 2022, but the Eagles are also much tougher","type":"interstitial_link"},{"content":"According to Pro Football Focus, receivers managed just 7.3 yards per reception with him in coverage, which was tied for the third-lowest average for qualifying cornerbacks going into Week 18. Combine that with his capability as a tackler in the run and screen game, and it starts to become clear why the Eaglesâ€™ midseason defensive turnaround coincided with his insertion into the starting secondary.","type":"text"},{"content":"Biggest disappointment: Bryce Huff","type":"header"},{"content":"Bryce Huff signed with the Eagles last offseason with the expectation that heâ€™d fill in the starting edge rusher spot vacated by Haason Reddick. But he finished his first year with the team as a depth piece in a rebuilt rotation.","type":"text"},{"content":"A wrist injury that required surgery halted some slight progress the 26-year-old was making midway through the year and itâ€™s possible his learning curve in Vic Fangioâ€™s read-and-react system could take longer than initially expected. Still, itâ€™s only fair to acknowledge Huff hasnâ€™t played up to his three-year, $51.1 million contract.","type":"text"},{"type":"image"},{"content":"Best supporting player: Grant Calcaterra, Milton Williams","type":"header"},{"content":"Weâ€™ll go with one offensive and one defensive player here.","type":"text"},{"content":"Grant Calcaterra had to earn the No. 2 tight end spot in training camp and then spent most of the season filling in as the primary guy at the position in place of an injured Dallas Goedert. He started 12 games and managed 24 catches for 298 yards while also playing a thankless role as an inline blocker whoâ€™d often find himself at the point of attack for Barkleyâ€™s carries.","type":"text"},{"content":"On the other side of the ball, Milton Williams was typically the beneficiary of opposing offensive lines keying in on Jalen Carter with frequent double teams. He was up for the task of punishing one-on-one blocks more often than not and finished the year with five sacks and seven tackles for loss in a contract year.","type":"text"},{"content":"(Assistant) Coach of the year: Christian Parker","type":"header"},{"content":"There were several strong candidates in this field, but the turnaround from the Eaglesâ€™ secondary from 2023 to 2024 gives the slight edge to Christian Parker over the equally deserving Jeff Stoutland and Bobby King.","type":"text"},{"content":"The hastened development from Quinyon Mitchell and the aforementioned DeJean, along with a bounce-back season from veteran corner Darius Slay, stood in stark contrast from the struggles the secondary had last season before Parkerâ€™s arrival. Most Eagles teams have been built around a dominant defensive line, but Parkerâ€™s group has been the one setting the table for the defense more often this season.","type":"text"},{"type":"image"},{"content":"Position group of the year: O-line","type":"header"},{"content":"Itâ€™s quite telling that the Eagles got three offensive linemen named to the Pro Bowl and it didnâ€™t feel like enough.","type":"text"},{"content":"While Barkleyâ€™s historic season required plenty of individual brilliance from the running back, heâ€™d be the first to point out the vital role Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Becton, and Lane Johnson played in his 2,005 rushing yards. Heâ€™d probably throw reserve linemen Fred Johnson and Tyler Steen in there as well.","type":"text"},{"content":"Johnson and Mailata have formed the best tackle duo in the NFL capable of operating on respective islands. Dickerson has become one of the leagueâ€™s best guards and has a vital role in caving in one side of the line for the teamâ€™s quarterback sneaks. And Jurgens has seamlessly slotted into the center position previously held by Jason Kelce, allowing the offense to continue calling concepts that require an athletic center capable of getting to the second level in a hurry.","type":"text"},{"content":"More simply put, the foundation of the Eaglesâ€™ offensive system begins with having elite play along the offensive line, which is exactly what Stoutlandâ€™s group has delivered all year.","type":"text"},{"content":"How would the Eagles go on without Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox? Cam Jurgens and Jalen Carter answered with their play.","type":"interstitial_link"},{"content":"Performance of the year: Saquon Barkley vs. Rams, Jalen Carter vs. Ravens","type":"header"},{"content":"Another offense-defense split is necessary.","type":"text"},{"content":"Barkleyâ€™s reverse hurdle against the Jacksonville Jaguars was likely the signature moment of his historic season and his 176 rushing yards against his former team, the New York Giants, will be remembered, but the 255 rushing yards he managed against the Los Angeles Rams a few weeks later was the more dominant performance.","type":"text"},{"type":"oembed_response"},{"content":"Like Barkley, Carter had a handful of games that could have earned performance of the year honors. The number of plays that jumped off the all-22 film in his game against the Baltimore Ravens stands out, though.","type":"text"},{"content":"Carter finished with one sack, two quarterback hits, three tackles for loss, and probably a dozen clips of him rag-dolling members of a highly respected Ravens interior offensive line for fun.","type":"text"},{"type":"oembed_response"},{"content":"Best villain: Jalen Carter, C.J. Gardner-Johnson (tie)","type":"header"},{"content":"C.J. Gardner-Johnsonâ€™s inclination for trash talk is well-documented by now. The downside of such chatter was on full display when he got ejected from the teamâ€™s loss to the Washington Commanders.
