Here in Pennsylvania, it seems like everyone loves a good joke, especially when they are about blondes.  Since I am a winter blonde, I can tell this one.  Here is a little humor to start your day:

As a trucker stops for a red light, a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says, "Hi, my name is Kelly and you are losing some of your load."

The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street.

When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car, runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window. As if they've never spoken, the blonde says brightly, "Hi my name is Kelly, and you are losing some of your load!"

Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street.

At the third red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again she says, "Hi, my name is Kelly, and you are losing some of your load!"

When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde. He knocks on her window, and after she lowers it, he says...

"Hi, my name is Bob, it's winter in Pennsylvania and I'm driving a SALT TRUCK!"

Here are a few fun/interesting facts about winters in PA and all those salt trucks you see on the roads:

>    PennDOT's (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) statewide winter budget is $149 million. PENNDOT owns and maintains 40,101 miles of state highway and 88,627 lane miles. 

>    PennDOT entered this winter with almost 100,000 tons of salt and 13,000 tons of anti-skid material on hand.

>    During a snowstorm, PennDOT begins plowing after one-half inch or more of snow has accumulated on the road.

>    Road conditions in Pennsylvania often are compared with neighboring states.  However, the linear miles of state highway in each state are:

Pennsylvania - 40,101 (3,576 in District 6 which is Southeastern PA)

Maryland - 5,120

New Jersey - 2,320

Delaware - 5,066

>    PennDOT maintains 3,576 miles of state highway in District 6 which is Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.   The actual number of lane miles plowed in the region during a snowstorm is 9,021.  Lane miles are calculated by multiplying the distance or length of a highway by the number of travel lanes.  For example, a two-lane, five-mile road has 10 lane miles.

>    One hundred municipalities in Southeastern Pennsylvania this winter will clear snow and ice from state-owned highways within their boundaries.  The state will reimburse the cities, townships or boroughs for their services.
