News from the Week

The week's top (and only) story was a question: Is there anything left to say about Sugar Loaf? The Enterprise article and the comments we received say that maybe there is. We also had a photo by John Levanen of Fishtown in the "spring". (I hope that those quotes convey the appropriate measure of irony)

The Week's Weather

There are many words to say about last week's weather. Since most of them are not appropriate, let's just say that I had never considered a week of snow and wind and 20s in April. Having experienced it, I would like to have a a large number of years pass before reconsidering it.

April 5, 2007: Snow, wind & low 20s (24Ëš/21Ëš)
April 6, 2007: Snow, wind & low 20s (23Ëš/19Ëš)
