We are wishing a Happy Fathers Day to all West Philly dads and hope you’re enjoying this beautiful day in Philadelphia. Here’s a photo of a gorgeous rose bush near 48th and Warrington, taken by our reader Cindy Miller.

We’re starting to be convinced that Spring has sprung in the hood. Throw a #westphillylocal on your Instagram photos to get them on the site (in the right hand column). Happy holidays y’all!

Sometimes we get caught up in our own stuff that we miss interesting little details that abound in this part of the city. We spotted this cool horse-head post while walking around the hood. Can you guess where it is?

The snow emergency declared by the city of Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon will remain in effect until 6 p.m. on Wednesday. Please avoid parking on snow emergency routes until that time. If you did park on one of the emergency routes and your car has been towed please call 215-686-SNOW to find out where it is. More information on snow emergency routes can be found here.

And here are a couple of beautiful photos of The Woodlands Cemetery during yesterday’s snowstorm taken by West Philly Local reader Katy. You can check out more photos here.

West Philly Local reader D.W. sent over this photo with the following comment: “It seems like someone had the right idea as I pulled into my parking spot after a 4 hour commute that normally takes one hour thanks to the heavy traffic. Should have packed the skis this morning.”

The snow continues to fall in what looks like the worst snowstorm of the year. Be careful out there!
