camwynYesterday it started snowing before I got out the door and spent most of the day continuing to snow. no accumulation worth the name, but waves were coming in over one of the main local roads (this town is known for its storm watching and spectacular waves), so everyone was rerouting down another street and the traffic result was such that I got off my bus and walked to the T and got there ahead of the bus by 45 minutes.
No, seriously, I got a card from the woman next to me on the bus before I left and I emailed her from the T station. She reported back when the bus arrived. Time differential, me walking vs. her in the bus, over a 2-mile course: 45 minutes.
Anyway, there was no appreciable accumulation as of 7 PM last night either, so I went to bed last night not thinking much of any of the predictions of more on the way. I mean, there'd been weather reports of WINTER STORM SATURN IS GOING TO DOOM US ALL on Thursday and nothing had happened worth mentioning, right?
I step out the door this morning and the snow is halfway up my calves. And the traffic from people avoiding flooded roads is there again.
Long story short, walked two miles to the T station in the snow, made it to the office and found that roughly half the people here are working from home today. Man, I love New England. (No, I'm not being sarcastic. This is a proper winter. I haven't had a proper winter since college.)
