<p>From the National Weather Service winter storm warning today: “The City of Boston is expected to receive enough snow to raise the month’s totals to the highest in over 110 years of detailed record keeping.” And we still have February to come! D has mid-years beginning today but fortunately today’s exam is not until 1 p.m.</p>
<p>Unbelieveable here - I am so glad it is my day off. I am not even going to bother shoveling until it is all done! The roads are so narrow to start with - now they are impossible. In Boston, if you can’t scoot around people illegally, traffic doesn’t flow and the snow is making it impossible to scoot around. It’s also very dangerous. You cannot see beyond the huge pileups at the end of roads/driveways when entering other roads/intersections. Hopefully your daughter does not have far to go, Little Mother!</p>
<p>Well, my university is closing at 2 p.m., so I’ll pick D up after her mid-year exam since the HS is on my route home–only 2.5 miles from house to HS. We just don’t have any more room for the snow unless we start piling it into our wheelbarrow and dumping it in the back yard which we did last year.</p>
<p>Snow update–Boston public schools will be closed for the rest of the week. Some buses couldn’t leave the yard while others got stuck in the snow. D has no school today and is hoping for none tomorrow, especially since she won’t have to make up the snow days at the end of the year, the joy of being a senior!</p>
<p>Thanks for all the updates. He’s been busy studying (he has a final tomorrow), so hasn’t been able to enjoy it much. He’s used to 1 - 2 inches of snow, not feet. I think maybe he was a little intimidated by all that white stuff. He said if it gets up to his 4th floor window he’s coming home!</p>
<p>The snow that we got on Wednesday set a new record for the amount of snow for any given month in 113 years of detailed record keeping–43.1 inches in one month!</p>
<p>We’ve now gotten slush. Sunny tomorrow.</p>
