An illustration from our archives that inspired the famous Quaker Oats character. Interesting fact- Quakers did not found the Quaker Oats Company, the founders just thought it'd give their product a wholesome reputation #Nationaloatmealmonth #Quakertuesday pic.twitter.com/KbtQmhhfON

Though only 0.7 inches of snow fell at the Philadelphia Airport at the beginning of the winter storm on 1/16/2022, I measured 2.1 inches in Bryn Mawr. It fell from 5pm until 8:15pm, when it quickly changed to rain.

f you’re looking for a break from screens, alerts, and endless scrolling, the Philly Pen Show might be the cure—at least temporarily.
