My Last Post about Snow EVER

Ok, so it’s snowing. It’s going to snow all night. Oh, and if you want a really good local guy’s take on the weather, and one that’s more accurate than most of the weathermen in the area, then hit up my buddy Josh’s Weather Facebook page entitled “And Now, Back to you, Josh, With Today’s Weather”, it’s worth your time, actually.

ANYYYWAY, apparently the snow can’t stop the mailman, but it can stop the court from going forward.

Now, Northampton County had already gone ahead yesterday and cancelled all sorts of proceedings for today, but considering the fact that many of those proceedings were for people who live in Easton and thus do not have access to electricity, the radio or are more or less illiterate, the cancellations fell on deaf ears.

Which, OMG made the lawyers and the court workers sOOOO mad and stuff.

A group of defendants apparently didn’t get the message that Northampton County Court officials canceled the arraignments scheduled for today.

About 50 people showed up this morning to the courthouse despite the snow, ready to be arraigned.

Rather than send the crowd home, court officials scrambled to take care of the walk-ins.

Outside the windows of historic Courtroom 1, snowflakes were falling like so much confetti.

Inside the courtroom there were a handful of defense attorneys and prosecutors, Judge Leonard N. Zito running the call of the list and officials looking for a probation officer to handle any guilty pleas.

Some attorneys were dressed for the weather, not for court, and were running around in jeans and winter boots.

One attorney said he wore a sweater to the office, but thankfully had a spare coat and tie. 

Defense attorney Scott Wilhelm was dressed and ready for court because he didn’t check for the court cancellation notice Wednesday and missed the listing on WFMZ.
Some inmates said they wanted to go to trial while others just want to get rid of their cases.

“(I’m) Jamarcus Fennel and I’m guilty,” Fennel said to the judge. Source

Jarmarcus, the only thing you are guilty of is having a last name that reminds me of a tasty vegetable.

Ok, so can we now officially stop with this shit? For the record, it’s going to snow all night and it’s probably going to snow next week according to the Farmer’s Almanac, however, according to the Rapper’s Alamanac, next week is going to be full of hot ladies and block rocking beats at Club 40 Below.
