The Philadelphia Snowcalypse

The streets of Philadelphia looked even more awesome in the snow.


We learned that friends, late morning brunches and drinking games are the tools to a great snow day.


Mayor Nutter's spokesman, Doug Oliver said Philadelphia had 34,000 tons of salt available, and planned to deploy 600 workers and 340 pieces of equipment at the height of the storm.


It was freezing but fun.

Snow has yet to lose its novelty on me. This morning, I opened the blinds to see a beautiful winter wonderland. Our apartment overlooks a farm and some cute houses, and I remember moving in and thinking to myself, this will look so beautiful covered in snow. My imagination didn't do justice to what it looks like. It's incredible. It's breathtaking. It's more than what I imagined living the North would be like.

Everyone says you have to have a snow day tradition. Some people at work hit the diner before coming in, others make french toast. I make oatmeal and hot chocolate. As a lady who spent eighteen years in Florida, I feel that I can truly appreciate both oatmeal and hot chocolate now that there is snow outside.
