Slush of Death?
By
I just snapped this scene from my stoop in Center City.
Maybe I live in some crazy, cosmic, no-snow triangle, but the street scene I just snapped here in Center City looks nothing like the local news headlines online here in Philadelphia.
Philly Digging Out From Winter Storm – A massive late winter storm moved…
Delaware Valley residents and commuters were walloped by a nor’easter on Monday.
Officially, 9.3 inches of snow has been measured at Philadelphia International Airport…
This is weather – not war, economics or politics. This should be easy.
For decades, I have been frustrated by editors who seemed uninterested in learning that what I saw on the street did not always support what they were reporting. I hope they find social media more difficult to deny.

I found that kinda frustrating too. Last night I drove through ” blizzards” and “severe weather” on my way from Maine to Philly. In total the weather was so bad, that over our 8 hour trip, we added only 30 minutes to the drive time. Not exactly blizzard like weather if you ask me.
This morning, my South Philly neighborhood looks more like your photos. I say, no more than 3 – 4″ top.

Philly “walloped,” “digging out” after “massive late winter storm” – except for my block? Pic: http://is.gd/ltwd
