Fairmount Park

Kelly Drive or West River Drive

It wasn't unusual to see Philadelphia covered in snow in the days of my youth. I fondly remember the years we were happy to get snow storms that gave us foot after foot of snow. Do you remember the days when there was sufficient snow to actually build a snowman? Did you ever build a snow fort or an igloo? But, now that humankind has decided to model itself after cockroaches, and travel in the thick exoskeletons of SUV's with monstrous V8's spewing incredible amounts of carbon dioxide into the thin shield of atmosphere that covers us, to pollute us into oblivion, the days of a snow covered Philadelphia are extraordinarily rare. So enjoy them.

Snow Crystals!
