We got a little bit of snow in Philadelphia today. My paper didn't come. Restaurants stayed closed. The gym shut down early. All interrupting my normal Saturday routine and giving me a chance to hole up inside for the day. Just to make sure I would appreciate the value of being huddled up in a what being huddled in warm apartment, I did venture out briefly around Noon to survey the blizzard's effect on the city. Here are a few pictures from my walk.

About Me
Pogwatigue Perambulations
Pogwatigue: A Pottawatomie word meaning 'running water.' Early settlers chose this word as the original name for my hometown, Niles, Michigan.
Perambulation: roam, stroll, inspection of an area on foot.
My intent for this blog is to catalog my various local, regional, national, and perhaps someday international explorations. Originally, I found the blog a good vehicle to publish Google maps on the internet and all my initial posts have such a map embedded, but I don't limit myself to that genre. Almost all the posts will have a personal, geographic element. For the title, I chose Pogwatigue due to its ties to my roots roots and perambulations as a fancy, alliterative word to describe the content.
