Here's what we are working for Eyewitness News for November 27, 2012.
"Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while." ~Kin Hubbard
Well, I am starting the conversation that what way today- It snowed! I know we live in Northeastern Pennsylvania- but I am never prepared for snow. Cleaning off the car, slipping on sidewalks, the chill that goes right through your body. Now, back in the day -when I was in school it was a different story-I loved snow then.. (Which reminds me school cancellations and delays can always be found on PAHOMEPAGE. You can also sign up for severe text alerts and school cancellations right to your phone.)
Sorry snow lovers- a little snow and I am already hoping for an early Spring.
