Hope you're all dug out from this weekend's snowstorm, and ready for whatever Mother Nature throws our way next.

At least this storm came on a Friday night. It was a nice feeling knowing that I didn't have to go anywhere, or even rush to clean off my car, on Saturday. By the time the snow started falling Friday night, I was in my favorite chair with a mug of  boilo and a Netflix DVD of The Rocky & Bullwinkle show on TV. I'm not much for winter weather, but that made the storm almost enjoyable.

Today was the first time this year I had to deal with announcing school closings. It was strange to be reading that information while looking out my studio window to nothing but cloudy skies. Is it my imagination, or did it actually have to be snowing before they closed the schools?

Not to long ago, I did a mystery track from The Badlees. That prompted Aaron to send me an e-quest suggesting a week of Pennsylvania Mystery Tracks. I did a little research, combed through my collection, and came up with a week's worth of tunes to try to stump you. Starting next week, (2/15) all of the Mystery Tracks will be home grown. And while I'm disappointed that I couldn't dig up Robert Hazard & The Heroes doing Escalator of Life, I am pleased to report that we'll be able to get through a week of PA tracks without resorting to The Hooters or some deep cut from Poison.
