<p>Imagine - hot, very humid - within a few minutes wearing a raincoat, you’re just as wet as you would have been without it (and smellier). Not complaining but my daughter can’t wait to experience the cold. She grew up down here - I grew up in Canada…</p>
<p>I grew up on the East Coast, living in CA since 1985. Called DS in Boston today, told him you guys are gonna get a nor’easter. His reply, “What’s a nor’easter”. I just laughed and told him “you are about to find out!”</p>
<p>^^ ROFL - yuppers - they are very unique storms in this part of the country - can be very exciting - especially during the winter - whew!! nasty - but hey it comes with the territory 
</p>
<p>BLUCROO - LOL there is LOTS of time for your gal to get the Boston winter experience She has several years to go LOL.</p>
<p>Hoping to get out this am.</p>
<p>Good luck Bethievt!</p>
<p>Flights are all running on time out of Logan, at the moment (I am checking all the time for our flights tomorrow). Winds are REALLY blowing though, which makes for a bit of a <em>bumpy</em> flight…ugh.</p>
<p>Good luck, Bethy. Hope you are going somewhere away from this storm.</p>

Just a word of caution about flying into Providence tomorrow: Green Airport has been closed since around 3:00 this morning due to a wall collapse inside at a construction area due to the heavy rain/winds. The damage was in the area that they do the security screening, so they are not even allowing anyone into the airports off the highway. H has been there since around 5:30 AM - reporting on the story for the Providence news station he works for. He originally was scheduled to go there this morning to report on the flight delays/storm surge, etc. but this is even a “bigger” story. Take care!</p>
<p>Woke up to very wet snow in Philly this a.m. We’ve already had 5 inches of rain, then in started to snow overnight. Many flights delayed and cancelled, and lots of flooding, especially in N.J. However, things are looking up for this afternoon.</p>
<p>^SP, I woke up and couldn’t believe it. Was snow in the forecast? Our driveway is quite steep and is currently snow covered. I am going to have to shovel…and my taxes are not done yet. HAPPY MONDAY! :)</p>
<p>Remarkable.</p>
<p>My wife drove from DC to Holliston MA yesterday. Other than avoiding the Merritt Parkway, which may have been flooded in parts, and having to deal with rain the whole way, she managed it quite well.</p>

Your D will get a handfull of Boston Nor’Easter weather today!!</p>
<p>NJ is a mess, and you can not get to NYC from here, at least that we have found. We are in central NJ, and H has tried every route he can imagine…all are blocked. A colleague has been driving around since 6 this morning trying to find a way. Beware and be warned! Good luck, all. Lorelei</p>
<p>Her in Minnesota we’re expecting 70 degrees after snow last week, and an 80 degree day in March. Things sure change in a hury. Gives us something to talk about.</p>
<p>We were in Cambridge last Thursday. The weather was unspeakable: 40 degrees, 35 MPH winds, and torrential rain. I feel like all we saw of Harvard was the underside of our umbrellas! But at least in weather like that, your kid won’t be unduly influenced by the beauty of the campus.</p>
<p>wjb: Your kid should have looked at Tufts…It’s up hill above Harvard. All the water runs down stream! They proudly boast of looking down on Harvard from up on high! LOL</p>

Thanks so much for the warning. The flights we are scheduled to take tomorrow were both cancelled today. On weather.com, it lists Green Aiport as closed but the airport website continues to list flights arriving on-time. I couldn’t figure out which was accurate. I’ll check your local news sites for updated info. Oh well, at this point we’ll just wait until tomorrow morning to see what happens. We are flying through Newark so I will be sure to enquire about the status at Green before we leave Florida. Thanks again for the information and your kind words! Let’s hope the weather eases up some over night - I’m sure you have all had enough.</p>
<p>MUM - the weather is pretty much done - I will correct that by saying - over for today at least - but the aftermath is what is the problem - lots of damage in some places - from wind and flooding. There is still a good chance that your flight tomorrow will go - but for today - no probably not - Not sure what Newark is like tho - that may wall be the issue - but good luck - we actually saw the sun for a minute about 1/2 hour ago - so the event is over so to speak - now the cleanup begins :)</p>
<p>Green may be closed to outgoing flights today - but still getting incoming ones</p>
<p>My 16 y.o. d is in the air, headed toward Newark. Arrival supposed to be 3:00-- any guesses as to where/when she’ll land?</p>
<p>I do not think they let planes take off for Newark unless they are cleared for a landing slot. She should be okay. Fingers and toes are crossed for her safe and uneventful arrival.</p>
<p>Thanks for the kind words. Her flight left Denmark at 7AM this morning, so I know she’s in route. I keep checking.</p>
