Happy almost spring! Who in the Lehigh Valley is ready for some random late snowstorms?

It’s the time of year when street cleaning starts, and then we often get hit with the biggest snow we’ve had all year before the super nice spring weather actually hits us for an extended period of time.

Make sure you’re ready for some indoor fun by stopping by the library to borrow books, games and DVDs. Then when you go out, don’t forget to apply sunscreen, since the snow reflects the sun’s light back at you.
