[PRCo] Re: Not a streetcar, BUT

Thu Feb 11 08:26:06 EST 2010

Hi Fred

I assumed that the state would not be working Wednesday.  As for Thursday, the assumption is that I would not be traveling to Harrisburg.  Same results, but different path.

I saw the amount of snow on our side street and the 'embankment' left over from past weekend, and figured that would be confronted with a 'snow wall' at end of driveway when street was finally plowed.  And was not disappointed late last night.  There's a 'hump' in snow where the mail box should be.  USPS won't be delivering any bills today.

Will be curious to see where Monsier Vogel goes for pix today.

Cheers

John
