Next snowstorm could be a record-breaker

Even in a winter in which the surreal has been the rule, this forecast has hallucinatory qualities. It calls for yet another mega-snowstorm, a foot plus, maybe up to 20 inches, more than enough to make this the snowiest winter on record in Philadelphia.

D.A. charges ex-policeman Tepper with murder: Abandoning the grand jury his predecessor had seated to investigate a controversial police shooting, District Attorney Seth Williams yesterday charged a recently fired police sergeant with killing his unarmed neighbor.
Multiple storms deplete snow-removal budgets: Haverford Township Manager Larry Gentile, sick of this weather, is "ready to move south." His snow-removal budget has already gone there.
Municipalities may need federal help after snow: With two major snowstorms in less than two months and a third on the way, municipalities are devouring snow-removal budgets and, without state or federal help, may be forced to cut services to cover winter's costs.
Rep. Murtha, a force on Hill, dies: The first Vietnam combat veteran to serve in Congress was Pa.'s longest-serving House member.

John P. Murtha, 77, the powerful dean of Pennsylvania's congressional delegation who survived scandal and seismic political shifts to become the longest-serving House member from the state, died yesterday at a hospital in Arlington, Va., after complications from gallbladder surgery.
In Aston, an unlikely capital of ice dancing: It's hard to imagine a more macho-flavored chunk of the Philadelphia area than lower Delaware County. Ride west from the Delaware River refineries to Baltimore Pike's strip malls and you'll pass through a vibrant blue-collar world of bars, parish gyms, street-hockey games, hoagie joints, Eagles flags, Phillies hats, Flyers decals, and rowhouses whose sports-crazed occupants are as rock-hard as the brick facades.
