Philly - Winter Wonderland!

For those of you who are thinking of coming to Penn, an extra bonus of coming to the city of Philadelphia is the weather.  Now I know normally people think about the consistent sun of, say, Miami, and think that's the way to go.  But then you miss out on some of the goodness of certain things like a nice snowfall.

Snow really is a beautiful sight.  Yes you have to be careful in it, but sometimes snow seems like a gift from Mother Nature!  You can do so much with it - have snowball fights, sled down the Art Museum steps, make a snowman.  It's great for photos and even television - one of the best NFL games this year was the Eagles/Lions played here at Lincoln Financial Field, which was played in a lot of snow and was a treat to watch.  I envy those who were actually at the game!

Nonetheless, for those of you who have never seen snow, it's a sight to behold.  When I was young, I loved it.  As I got a little older (post-undergrad days), I think I started to take it for granted.  But these days, I (and I know others) stare in awe at such a wonder and realize how beautiful it really is.  And if you join us at Penn, I'm excited that you'll be able to witness such wonder as well.
