πŸ’‘Eagles Win Super Bowl 59 | More Snow On The Way | Parade Friday

Your Weekly Warm Up | ISSUE #024

πŸ‘‹ Good Morning, Lower Merion!

That was an epic Super Bowl victory for the Eagles Sunday in New Orleans! There’s more snow forecasted for Tuesday night which is certain to lead to some cancellations and delays. And, the parade is set for Friday! For some of us, that’s a roller coaster. For others, perhaps a trifecta. Regardless, it's a week we won't soon forget! Stay warm, stay safe, and soak in the celebration, whether it's in the snow or on Broad Street.
