Musings an Online Journal of Sorts
By Alyce Wilson
As I mentioned yesterday, we got a record-setting amount of snowfall in Philadelphia, about 20 inches. Here are some pics I took in Center City and Old City Philadelphia yesterday.
(Faster-loading version)
The snow piled in front of Independence Hall was waist high, as shown by the National Park Service employee in the bottom right.
A sign reading "Independence Hall Tour" is partially obscured by snow.
A city employee in a Bearcat clears sidewalks around Independence Mall.
A bicycle, left out during the storm, is mired in snow.
A fire hydrant near City Hall is completely covered with snow.
Moral: Anything that doesn't move gets covered with snow in a blizzard.
