Snow? What snow?

What a delight this past weekend was. Your Center City Correspondent was safe and warm at home during the storm and watched the center city buildings disappear from view as the storm settled in. My neighbors and I double-teamed the sidewalk and kept it clear all day so it hardly felt like 23 inches of snow. Many thanks to them. Everything we needed was within walking distance, supermarket, restaurants and local bars and churches were all open. Then on Sunday I walked over to the subway and rode it down to the Linc. Gangs of shovelers had been working all night to get the stadium and lots cleared for the game. At one point in the second half, the normally reserved fans in the lower section had what can’t be called a snowball fight, but rather a snow toss. Hundreds of people tossed snow in the air and watched it settle back down. From above, it looked like white fireworks. But then they turned their attention to the owners’ box and started pelting them with snowballs. Then they turned around and aimed their white missiles at the cheerleaders (!) until an announcement was made and the snowballs stopped. Oh, yeah, the Eagles won so it was an enjoyable day all around.


So it looks like we are going to have a white Christmas this year. I hope everyone has an enjoyable holiday season and that Santa brings you everything on your list. Our son is coming home for a few days from Florida, so that’s making Mrs CCC very happy. Maybe he can take some of the snow with him when he leaves. But do yourself a favor this week. For those so inclined, go to church on Christmas Eve or Christmas day and thank the Lord for your blessings and the health of your loved ones. It should only take about an hour, but will benefit you for a long time.

God bless us and Merry Christmas to all.
