I had to mention the lack of snow didn't I? I've been online to get work done the past few weeks but that's about it due to a series of illnesses that my kids and I had - hopefully we're in the clear now. Last night we were expected to get 1-4 inches of snow - we ended up getting 11-12 inches - the largest amount we've gotten in a storm this winter. I swear, the weather … [Read more...]
Finally Some Snow In The Poconos!
The snow started late last night (around 12am) and it hasn't stopped since. After a series of disappointing storms where we received next to no snow it feels great to finally get a big storm! I almost forgot what the ground looked like covered in snow. Although its been a pretty dull snow season in the Poconos just a few hours south in Philadelphia with this most recent … [Read more...]
Big Storm ‘a Comin?
After a VERY uneventful winter so far we look like we might actually be getting some REAL snow accumulations. We had 2 maybe 3 storms that actual required a bit of snow clearing - besides that it was some light shoveling but that was about it.

I'd take advantage of the cold and snow while we still have it - although I'm sure there's still plenty of winter left to be expected - I'd get out there and do any winter … [Read more...]

Rainy And Dreary In The Poconos
The consensus from everyone I've talked to is a resounding "ugh" regarding the weather recently. The Poconos is known for snow and winter fun - not lukewarm weather and flooding in January. The ski resorts are closed(except one) due to the weather - I can't imagine that the Pocono businesses that thrive on the winter weather are happy at all. For the businesses that rely on … [Read more...]
