CHESTER, Pennsylvania (WPVI) The Citizen Corps of Delaware County says it needs help administering the vaccine and the nursing students at Widener University are answering the call.
Gabrielle Smyser is a senior nursing student at Widener University. She s about to get some serious real-world training before she graduates. We are definitely honored for sure. This is something that has truly shaken us all to our core, said Smyser.
Smyser says they ve already been trained, vaccinated and are eager to assist when the mass vaccinations start. To help people bring normalcy back to their lives, just day by day, is really something astronomical, said Smyser.
A major snowstorm rolled into the Northeast on Wednesday, bringing heavy snow to parts of southeastern Pennsylvania and a wintry mix and rain the closer you traveled to the shore. I think seven people had to be transported. Once again it shows the strain we put on our EMS systems during this COVID period. Seven ambulances getting to I-95 during a snowstorm is a big task in our county, said Timothy Boyce, director of Delaware County Emergency Services.
The storm clean-up is now underway in the county. Some people were out and about shoveling all that snow as rain poured off and on.
WAYNE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) For three-year-old Knox and other children around the region, there s nothing quite like a white Christmas. Knox was making snow angels and throwing snowballs in Wayne, Pennsylvania Wednesday afternoon. Pretty excited because he hasn t had a real snow day yet, said mother Nicole Washington of Wayne. Last year, there was hardly any snow. So excited to get him out there and playing.
For some, the flakes are a nice reprieve from the exhausting year that has been 2020.
