Or more like dropping one, in Mechanicsburg, tonight.

The Harrisburg area has a shortage of hotels with jacuzzi baths in the room.

Okay, Harrisburg area bloggers, I'm going to start putting together a blogroll of bloggers of the West Shore. It's going to be indexed by the municipality of your home postal location, so if you live in any of the following municipalities (unless I forgot one) please email me or put up a comment with your blog and town, and if you don't live on the West Shore, just ignore unless you want to know who's here.

I'll be repeating this request about once a week, I suspect it's going to take a while. Let me know which category below you belong in. If I received your request, you should show below:

Lots of limbs down from the ice storm we received in Cumberland County last night and this morning. In our back yard, our neighbors' pines cracked and groaned and dropped a lot of wood. One of the pines is now half a tree.

Unfortunately, it sounds like maybe more of the same is ahead of us. From Al Morrison:

Freezing rain. Yuck.

Yep, Cumberland Valley just announced there is no school today. You can always go to ABC27 for cancellations and delays around here.

Ever been to Summerdale Plaza? You might not remember, it is very nondescript. It's not a destination you might generally intend to go to - unless, of course, you caught a CAT bus route there. I've been there a few times, driven past LOTS of times, and there's always lots of empty spaces in the parking lot.

Which makes me wonder - did Willner Realty and Development have a good reason to suddenly be totally dickish to folks who used the CAT Park-and-Ride? Because being totally dickish is the only way to describe this action.

PennBots, of course.

If you come to Harrisburg via air, you'll get this view eventually. Courtesy of seyrah:

The Hampden park pool budget also provides $843,000 for construction of a new tot pool and bathhouse renovations, which are expected to be completed by May, and $12,000 in additional minor improvements.

No pool membership or admission fee increases are proposed for 2008.

We get two inches of snow yesterday, it stopped by early yesterday evening, and still the schools have a two hour delay this morning?

It costs more this year.

The township of North Bergen better hope for a mild winter with as little snowfall as possible.

That's because the cost for the salt used in snow removal increased significantly since last year, from $50 per ton to $61.32 per ton.

...

"They said that the increase was due to a hike in the cost of fuel," said township administrator Chris Pianese.

So... does Harrisburg have enough money to plow the roads if we have a heavy snow year this winter?

I can't say I quite understand this area's fondness for Chuck Rhodes the weatherman, but it is noticeably real. He might be the most popular guy around here after Joe Paterno.
