    I lived there from '72 to 83. I saw more snow back then than I have in the 30 years since. We used snowmobiles to pick up nurses to get them to work at St. Vincents hospital when I worked for Emergycare.

    I don't miss it. We had 1-2 inches this morning and 4 schools in Upper Bucks cancelled or had delays. What wusses.

    I get sick of all the whinny bastards that live south of I-90 and complain about "winter". I grew up in Erie and had to walk to school in weather that closes most schools here down in the Burgh.

    It's all going to turn ugly this weekend as a warm front zooms up from the south and temps will rise well into the 50's. Forecast is for 57 on Sunday. So much for having a White Christmas.

    I'm just as happy to see the snow as to see it go. I really don't mind it, there's still outdoor stuff I love doing that can only be done with snow.
    It's the freeze/thaw crap that makes it miserable...and the people who just freak out over it.

    I lived there till I was 10, and visited often after that. A friend and I once rode our bikes across the bay. Had some good snow forts too.

    I get a nervous twitch everytime this damn statistic is brought up. The entire list has a popluation limit of 100,000+. Sorry Edinboro, guess you can't make the list - along with half the midwest states.

    A guy working at Wawa in North Wales says to a customer," I walked to work today without a jacket' I grew up around here and I am not bothered by ALL of this snow". There was 2 inches at most and it was 28 degrees. I resisted telling him tales of Erie with 40 inches plus and temps much lower.
    Yeah, I have been back to Erie twice since I moved here in 82. Both times in August.

    There would always be some serious snow mounds on the corners of my driveway when I was a kid from the plow trucks when my uncle who owned a landscaping/plowing business came by and plowed our driveway. My neighbor friend across the street and I would work these snow mounds into some awesome snow forts and have snowball fights.
