Here we are, in the midst of a soff snow storm. I was really let down by all the hype that this storm received. It’d provided some good snow, but when I woke up this morning, the roads were clear. Nothing makes me more upset than clear roads on a cold day. I’d much rather of stayed in bed, than dragging my butt to work and sitting here with 8 or so people listening to them complain about how bad the weather is. The roads are clear….deal with it people!
Anyways, YinzPitt’s first FF Fun Day started off without a hitch yesterday. I got some good responses and I’m thinking this is certainly going to be an every Friday ritual. It’s so much fun talking and dealing with people throughout the area. I enjoy it to the max, and look forward to continuing it!
