The Aftermath

Well the storm has passed and it is now Monday.  Yesterday was a beautiful day with bright sunshine.  Today...not so much.  It's very gray out there and while they were originally saying rain for today, that changed slightly this morning and they said that it would start out as some snow (because apparently Mother Nature feels we don't have enough) before changing over to rain.  They are saying it will only be a dusting to an inch most places, but really, it's unnecessary.  Thankfully the rain isn't supposed to be too much.  You might be thinking that rain would be good to wash the snow away, but too much and we'll be dealing with some major flooding because so many storm drains are covered by the snow so the rain and melting snow will have nowhere to go.  

My commute into work was a breeze today, but I can't say the same for most people.  Trains are running late although they are running.  There are still roads that are unplowed in many places and the snowbanks are so high that it's nearly impossible to see around them for oncoming traffic.  And if you're walking, that's not easy either.  Most sidewalks are not plowed so you have to walk in the street and that is extremely dangerous as the roads are already narrowed because of the snow on the sides.  There just isn't anywhere to put it.  I'm going to try to get some pictures of Boston later. 

Thanks for sticking with me!  Hope those who are also living through this have power and if not, hope you are staying warm!!
