I'm in Boston right now. Just heard on the news that there could be wind gusts exceeding 80mph on the cape.
At this point I'm guessing that my flight home on Wednesday may not happen.

I've got a snowblower you can borrow. It's 45 F here! Weird...

Hey doc I'm stuck here in Beantown. It could be worse as I'm here with my son, his wife, and two little new grandkids.
I did a beer and wine run this morning so all is good!

I wonder when you'll be able to get out of there, Elliot.

As per Doc, I remember the winter of 1978 in Chicago... with something like 100" of snow (with frozen people appearing in piles during the Spring).

About 60F and unseasonably warm here. :wink-new:

I'll admit, tomorrow might be the first storm this year that forces me to wear pants/boots while I run the snowblower, instead of the shorts/crocs I usually wear.

But freeze... ever ? No. Overheat, yes. Anything above 68 is torture for me.
