Just one time I want to be the person who when it snows, pulls the covers over himself and goes back into a deep sleep. In more than 31 years at WOBM every time it’s snowed it’s meant I had to go out, clean off my car and get to work because when morning radio is part of what you do then you simply have to be here. We don’t get to sleep in, watch old movies, or eat comfort food. Instead we deal with the elements to get here and be on the air and often see an email later from the boss telling the rest of the staff they can work at home. It’s not a complaint but just one time it would be nice to go back to sleep and enjoy a snow day at home.

The Lakewood BlueClaws postponed last night’s Phillies Winter Tour stop at Woodlake Country Club due to the weather. The event has been re-scheduled for Tuesday, February 1st and will feature General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr., Phillies hitting Coach Greg Gross and Special Assistant Dickie Noles. Gross & Noles were teammates on the 1980 Phillies World Series championship team. To attend the Winter Tour event call the BlueClaws at (732) 901-7000, x172.
