….how pretty our house looks with the snow and the Christmas lights. Randy took a bunch of photos last night with the snow covered trees and lights front porch…and then I left them at the house. I also left my cell phone there, too. I guess it wasn’t my morning.<\/p>\n
But it sure was pretty out there yesterday! A nice (and light) heavy snow made everything so peaceful and pretty (well, unless you were one of the idiots who decided to drive to work yesterday knowing that a snow storm would strike hours before rush hour, in which case you were stuck in highway traffic until 9:30PM).<\/p>\n
I’ve got to say, though, this does rather concern me. Boston gets snow annually. Multiple times annually. And despite this we couldn’t handle a simple, well-advertised\u00a0bout of snow?\u00a0(no winds, no flooding, no icing…just snow). What was the point of installing all of those “Evacuation Route” signs\u00a0after 9\/11 and Hurriance Katrina? It seems the signs are useless because in a real emergency (which yesterday was NOT), residents of the Boston area are shit out of luck.<\/p>\n
For me, my 1.5 mile commute took an hour (more than double my normal commute) – but it wasn’t\u00a0bad. A bit of walking, a bit of subwaying, a bit of busing).\u00a0 I’m enjoying the snow again today (it’s still pretty, overall, especially with the sun shining). I suspect I’ll be tired of it by tomorrow, though. And now with an even bigger storm expected on Sunday (though mixed with rain), I think I’m ready for spring.<\/p>\n
Or at least a trip to someplace warm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
