Thread: Winter Blues

Tweet

I went to a Chemist's meeting tonight and met an old friend who is also from Penna. and I grew up in suburban Phila. We recalled Feb./Mar. mornings with a bright sun coming up over a shiny snow crust and temps in the 20 F range. My answer for that situation was about three slabs of scrapple covered with ketchup, a high calorie, fatty meal that was like lead in your belly but it got you through a cold morning. Don't ask what is in scrapple, you don't want to know except that if Eskimos can eat blubber, then scrapple is OK for breakfast in a cold Penna. winter. The weather here in central Virginia is generally mild but can get strange every so often. I am attaching a picture from last Spring of 2007 on Saturday, the day before Easter! I recall driving to college in Penna. (Drexel Univ.) in 4" of snow on April 1! (in my Blue Flame six '54 Chevie convert with the top UP) So far we have only had one light snow but quite cold temps, too cold for me to work in the garage until it warms up a bit.
