28.5 Inches
The local news was calling for 16 inches of snow tops and we got 28.5 inches on Saturday, February 6th, 2010. The night before, as the storm was just descending on Philadelphia, Melissa and I ventured out with friends Jen & Fred and took in some of Fishtown’s First Friday.
After leaving Atlantis: The Lost Bar, Jen and Melissa celebrate as the snow finally starts sticking to the roads.
After leaving Memphis Tap Room, the snow was really starting to accumulate and walking home got rough.
Melissa stands in front of our house.
Our house is a “Circular Free” property, so don’t go stuffing Chinese restaurant, deli, and pizzeria menus in our box. This also applies to politicians running for office, Jehovah’s Witness, and Girl Scouts.
Melissa cleans off my car the next day. Of course, I don’t plan on driving until all this stuff melts.
Not sure what the heck this pose is all about, but it was brought on my extreme snow chills.
After clearing off the sidewalks, I decided to go get some beers, since we only had 3 bottles of Yards Philly Pale Ale left. Instead of driving, I drilled a hole in a plastic trash can lid and fastened some rope to it. I figure it would be a good size to pull two cases of beer with. We walked several blocks to the Philadelphia Beer Company distributor on York Street and “sledded” the two cases of beer back on the trash can lid. Worked perfectly, and was a nice workout.
