Does this affect buses as well? The 66 straight up didn't send several buses this morning.

My back deck is slick with snow. My dog almost went down when she tried to run full speed up the stairs. Be careful out there! -Dedham

Either this storm is winding up to nail us late or it's been severely over-hyped. Roads are fine.

I bought this desk heating pad because my home work space is cold. I didn't want to keep the heat up for the whole room but my fingers were freezing like yours. This thing has been an amazing purchase, I highly highly recommend:

I hate these scooters so much. There is a shithead in Quincy who rides it very fast on the sidewalk. He frequently zooms very close to me and my dog, which obv scares the shit out of the dog, who goes nuts barking. Then the guy makes shitty comments. This has happened multiple times, so I’m assuming that it is on purpose.

How long would you need to park? An hour? A day? A week?

To be fair, Healey as Attorney General refused to prosecute these people when she absolutely could have. Don’t have a ton of reason to believe she’d follow through on this either. She could have done plenty and didn’t.

I'm at the Holden Worcester line and we didn't get much at all. Since they canceled school (why idk) my area doesn't get treated or plowed until last, but main roads are fine. Be safe everyone!

My old dobro player worked there in the late 90s. Amazing people and great instruments.

I work in Brookline. We have school today as well. I wanted to share my understanding of snow days after being in education for a decade. I will preface all this with the fact that people are making these decisions and they all have their own motives and goals.

1. It's not always about the amount of snow. 2 inches is nothing over the whole day like today. 2 inches from 6 to 7am is a disaster in terms of plowing, sand/salting, and getting parents and busses to the school safely.

2. The pandemic has also changed a lot. There are more cars on the road, more drivers being reckless, and more teachers calling out. All of that contributes to superintendents and school boards as much as the amount of snow.

3. Looking more directly at Boston and the surrounding towns, how the students get to school also changes things. Most students at my school arrive by drop off or walking. In a rural town, it would be busses. In Boston, a lot of students take public transit to get to school so they will take in MBTA plans into account as well.

I hope this helps the understanding from a school point of view.

I’m pretty sure the Bunker Hill Holiday Inn has free parking. It’s a 15 minute walk to Union Square Green Line Station (and that’s a fun and safe area), or 10 minutes to Sullivan Square Orange Line Station (there’s a bus terminal there too, so it’s a little more ‘charactery’ at night).

Each get you downtown pretty fast.

What sort of "ppl" lie down on public benches? How long do they lie down for? Is it appropriate for someone to take over a public bench made for 2 people?

Completely clear here in Quincy. Little slippery on sidewalks but manageable.

Well thinking back to it it's not accurate at all haha. Every town that bordered my town would cancel school, but the town I was thinking of that would proceed Holliston did not boarder Holliston. Hopkinton would pop up and ruin my day though.

Toronto did the same thing in 2015. The agency now estimates that they lose $80 million a year (~13% of their revenue) due to fare evasion. This is purely anecdotal, but there definitely appears to be higher crime rates on the subway system since they made this change. However, the chair of the system said that making sure everyone has paid is the first step to addressing the “lawlessness” there.

They werer Raptured.

It's not great. That's the best I can say about it.

Prices went up 100k and then afterwards rates doubled and prices didn't move at all. Still just way too few available houses and way, way, way, way too many people that want to buy a house.

There’s a good list here. If you can/want to go north of Boston, Manchester Music Mill is good as are a few local places in Portland, ME.

Take the Orange Line to Wellington Center. Take the free shuttle to Encore casino. Cross the little pedestrian bridge into the mall where the Costco resides.

Got about half an inch of snow and 3 inches of road salt

I'm outside 495 at the moment. Looks like we only got 2-3" so far, though it's supposed to snow all day.

I tried explaining this to one of these dipsh*ts on Boylston in the Fenway and received a blank stare.

"Day old" beef is where it's at.

I'd be surprised there were 3 lesbian state troopers.
