Boston Buried Under a Torrent of Snow
Snow days are here!
Thursday morning, Boston residents started receiving their holiday gift of a White Christmas almost two full weeks early. According to local newspaper the Boston Herald, the “wall of snow” immersed the state of Massachusetts in enough fluffy wetness to lead government officials to send all the kiddies home from school and their adult counterparts home from work, as well.
Sure, that sounds like a good thing sitting inside one’s warm, comfortable abode. But, the fallout on the roads most likely resulted in hundreds of irate drivers wishing they were back in their cubicles at the office instead of stalled in the midst of the nerve-racking commute from hell. And, so bad weather goes in the Bay State, a place where even fairly light snow or heavy rain causes networks to run continuous alert messages along the bottom of television screens a-l-l d-a-y l-o-n-g.
As a result of the unrelenting precipitation (more snow is expected today), anybody planning to visit the Boston area in the near future should come prepared with appropriate bad-weather attire and gear, plus a healthy dose of patience to survive the inevitable delays that typically accompanies this type of climate.

Snow like that would shut Washington, DC down for a month. Even a threat of snow closes every school and business for days. We pretend snow never happens here and get all hyper when it does.

Thanks, Jon, for making me feel infinitely better. It’s good to know that there’s a place out there in the USA that’s even more precipitation-phobic than Boston! :-)
