This was the scene this morning before leaving for the ballpark in Philadelphia for opening day. By the time I left there was almost two inches of snow on the car! By the time I cleared that all off, the car was again covered. Then I discovered that one of the windshield wipers had punked out. Happily for me, my garage guy, just down the road, had a refill in stock. I then had to fill up the gas tank. For the first 30 minutes or so I was driving in white-out conditions but as I got on the road for Philadelphia the snow turned to rain. By the time I got into the ballpark, the rain was a drizzle but the wind was at gale force. More about the game, which ended on a thrilling note, tomorrow.
