Welcome to New England. You’re Going to Love Our Weather.

Under normal circumstances, it should take about 10 minutes to drive from Kenmore Square to the Cambridgeside Galleria in East Cambridge. Maybe 15-20 during rush hour. Yesterday afternoon, as apparently everyone in Boston tried to leave early because of the incoming storm, it took over 2 hours. And a fun ride it was, too. Andy and I spent so long staring at the back of one particular SUV, as we creeped our way across the Mass Ave bridge, that we bet on how long it would take for a particular slab of snow to fall off its rear window. We were moving so slowly that we had to get out periodically to clean the accumulating snow off the car. Hell, we were moving so slowly that we *could* get out to do that. On Memorial Drive.
By the time we got to East Cambridge, we were both desperate to get out of the traffic for awhile, so we stopped at the mall, ate something, and bought me a pair of jeans I’ve been needing for awhile now. We were there until 6:30 or so, then we hit the road again.
I got off work at 2. We got home at 9. Then we had to shovel.
Thank the Gods it’s Friday, because I’m pooped.
Oof. I’m glad you made it back safely. That sounds rough.
In contrast it has dipped down to the fifties here, having been in the mid seventies all week. Unfortunately we’re also still having that nasty drought, and Durham has roughly 48 days left in its water supply. Scary? You bet.
Oh, you poor thing! That sounds like the very definition of Hell to me.
It’s been awful here, too, but with ice instead of snow. Makes for some *exciting* driving conditions, let me tell you! As for temps, I think the ‘high’ today was 27. Brrr!
