Let It Snow

A week into my stay in Philadelphia and things are slowly coming together; there's been some tentative exploration and quite a lot of networking. The city's easy to navigate on foot, particularly near Center City, where everything conforms to a basic grid pattern with a few wayward streets here and there. My biggest challenge thus far has been remembering that the numbered streets run north to south and the named streets are the east-west thoroughfares. (I even had trouble with that last sentence.)

Part of the appeal to living in the northeast, though, has so far not panned out. As a native Floridian, I was looking forward to seeing some snow; but a week on and there's been been no appreciable accumulation of snow. There were some flurries yesterday but alas, it was too warm for the flakes to stick anywhere but the grass in the parks and on top of cars. Better than nothing, I suppose. I'm really crossing my fingers for something big this Saturday as the area's going to have a cold front moving through. We might get a few inches of snow out of it! I'm giddy at the prospect!

Hopefully, I'll have some photos of the City of Brotherly Love decked in white for you after this weekend. In the meantime, please enjoy a few pictures of Philly as seen from the South Street Bridge.
