Weather Emergency Preparedness Week Just In Time For The End Of Weather Emergencies

Now that it’s almost spring (!) and the chances for any more significant snowfall continue to dwindle, the state of Pennsylvania is apparently ready to finally correct the problems of the snafu on Interstate 78 last month.

Now, nobody at PennDOT is going to purgatory, at least not yet. No, in Pennsylvania it’s Weather Emergency Preparedness Week, where the state agencies will practice what to do in the case of inclement weather.

One might think that it’d be a better idea to have Weather Emergency Preparedness Week before winter, the weather that causes the state the most problems, but then you obviously haven’t seen the upcoming Sunstroke Prevention Week, October 14-20, 2007.

Happy Spring!

According to news reports I heard/saw/read this morning, spring starts at exactly 1:26 p.m. So, uh, happy spring! Too bad it’s windy and 40 degrees outside.

In “free stuff on first day of spring” news, they’re giving out free Ice Cream sandwiches on Broad inbetween Sansom and Chestnut right now, and free water ice at Rita’s all day.
