š Good Morning, Lower Merion!
That was an epic Super Bowl victory for the Eagles Sunday in New Orleans! Thereās 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, thatās 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.
