Snow

tiny little wifeSignificant stats on this one:
- 22.5 inches
- Second biggest Philly snowstorm on record
- Biggest December snowstorm on record
- Thunder and lightning (!)
- Actually happened during the Fall (before the solstice)

Who wants 2 inches? That looks pretty and vanishes. It's not fun unless it's apocalyptic! Some of you nordic people will doubtless turn up your noses at this "dinky little storm", but then again, you don't have to live through brutal summers, and you probably don't live in a city this big.

Abner's is still delivering cheesesteaks! That's reassuring.

I completely agree that snowstorms are best apocalyptic. Check out my chronicle of my hike to Jay and Kerith's here.
