Philly Big Snow Storm 09

This is why I'm still in Philly and not on my way to Bismarck today. Beginning 1am Saturday morning and ending 6am Sunday a huge snow storm rolled into the area and blanketed SE Pennsylvania, southern NJ, northern DE, southern NY, and all the way down to Virginia. At first they were predicting 3-6 inches. That turned into 6-8, then 10-12, then 8-14, and finally 10-20. Yesterday they said Philadelphia received 16 inches and it wasn't even finished snowing yet. They say it is the second biggest December snow storm on record here. Here is the aftermath in my neighborhood..My doorstep. Lazy landlord
In front of my apartment. Looks like the red car tried to get out and failed. Now they're up on the curb!!
It is hard to see but those are garbage trucks with plows hooked on the front plowing the snow off the street!
One block away
Two blocks away. All I can say to the owner of the car in the forefront is - good luck!



As you can see the trolleys are still able to plow through the snow and go down their tracks.









People waiting for the trolley on the street because the sidewalks aren't cleared.

I know, it wasn't even winter yet! Well, I was supposed to fly out early this morning but of course that flight was canceled. They re-issued me a ticket for this afternoon and that was soon canceled as well. Now I'll be in around 11 tomorrow night (Monday). I lose a day and a half of ND time, but they bumped me up to first class. Guess I can't complain too bad. See u soon lil bro
