Maybe Mother Nature just doesn’t like the Daily Times.
I had an inkling something was not quite right when I left the office last night a little after 6:30. As I usually do when snow is in the forecast, I had been peeking out the window all afternoon. I was a happy camper. For the most part, the parking lots were just wet and it had all but stopped snowing.
So I was a bit surprised when I left the building last night and walked into a full-fledged snowstorm. The parking lot was covered and I had to clean off the car again.
Once I got out of the lot and onto the main roads, it was pretty much smooth sailing on the ride home.
But Mother Nature wasn’t done with beautiful downtown Primos. Apparently a pocket of snow decided to settle on a region from the airport and into Delaware County.
In other words, we got nailed.
Funny, with all the time and effort TV stations devote to weather, I didn’t hear anyone call for this in their forecast. I’m not surprised. I’m done complaining about the weather. Here’s a tip. Stick your head out the window and tell me what it’s doing. Other than that, keep your forecasts to yourself.
This morning I awoke to news that some areas got more snow than others. I couldn’t figure out what they were talking about as I brushed a few flurries off my car and headed into the office.
No problems. Right up until the point where I take the right off Oak Avenue, onto the little road that runs between the Wawa and the railroad tracks. There was a good bit of snow on the road.
Then I hit the Daily Times parking lot. The plow guy had just arrived. Good thing. There must have been 8 inches of snow on the lot.
Most schools in the county are running on a two-hour delay. Ridley schools apparently have closed for the day.
I often joke that Primos is one of those places that doesn’t really exist, other than in the eyes of the United States Postal Service. It’s actually in Upper Darby Township, but our post office is Primos.
A lot of people get lost trying to find our office because Primos doesn’t show up on many mapping and GPS services.
Mother Nature didn’t have any trouble finding us last night.
One final word on the forecast: Think Sunday. They are now calling for the possibility of temperatures breaking into the 60s. A little taste of spring.
Guess that means that here in Primos we should be pushing 75, since extreme weather seems to be our calling card these days.
Our own personal snow storm. God, I hate winter.
