long before you actually get to the Lehigh
Tunnel on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
It's uphill all the way from that tunnel
to Wilkes-Barre when you're heading
north. The sky above the mountains
looked like it was covered in a haze. It
wasn't. It was snow.
Although the road seemed more wet
than slippery traffic slowed down to a
brisk 30 miles per hour which made the
last leg of our trip home seem like it
lasted for hours.
After weeks of above average
temperatures and virtually no snow
a lot of us probably thought we wouldn't
get any winter this year.
But, just eleven days ago,
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and
told us, at least he told the Groundhog
Club President,, we could expect six
more weeks of winter.
Don't be discouraged!
There was another "sign from above"
yesterday that should guarantee Spring
is on the way!
Though temperatures hovered around
25 degrees flocks of geese circled
overhead, eventually falling into several
squads in V formations. They were all
headed NORTH! Take that Phil!
That is a certain sign that Spring
is nearly here. The only thing is......I'm
not sure how far north they have to fly
till it arrives, or how fast they're flying!
Now that I think of it...they could
take 4 more weeks!
Let's hope they get there soon, and
that all your NEWS is good!
