Read Any Good Books Lately

John Loftus, of the Northeast Times, gives us the scoop from around the region in “Getting between the covers”:

Snow

Well, I’ll be sitting this snow storm out at home today.  I’m going to tinker with that interval recording function on the video camera to see what comes of it between shoveling and salting.  For anybody who sends us pictures of the snow from your vantage point, we’ll post them as we get them.  Send them to snow@frankfordgazette.com  Be the first snow reporter on your block.
