We Ain't Goin' Nowhere...
Still snowing... I think we're up to 2 feet in Boston. Logan Airport is closed, so Meryl and Gary have had their flight rescheduled for Tuesday Morning. Which is cool with me, because we get to spend a little more time with them before they go.
Last night during the storm we decided to tromp out to JP Licks for ice cream. I tried a sample spoon of their Wild Turkey flavor... very strange. Vanilla with a whiskey finish. Meryl got a whole cup of it and left the icecream shop smelling like a tavern.
Today Liz is cooking a turkey dinner, since we were in Mexico for Thanksgiving. My wife makes a lovely turkey. No lie!
Our cars are hopelessly buried, and I'm dreading the unavoidable "digging out" process. Maybe I'll just wait for the thaw...

Our street... no one is going anywhere.
I was in Boston for the weekend, Would have called you guys but I couldnt' get out of Somerville. My sis and I shoveled her sidewalk five times, though when I got the bus home today things were clearing up. Oddly, my Mom got only eight inches out in Boxboro, some weird snow shadow.

Everyone here in DC panicked because of the "winter storms" too. On Friday, it snowed and then rained in DC, but it actually snowed out here where I work. As a result, 5 of the 20 people in my department came in to work. I arrived second, at 9:30 am. The other three came in around 11. Jill and her parents (natives of the mid-atlantic snow-panic region) both called and IMd to tell me to leave for home and drive carefully. Sweet, but even after 5 years of living here, incomprehensible.

I was amazed at how many people where out driving around on the relatively unplowed roads of our neighborhood in the middle of the storm. Not sure where they were going... it wasn't like there was anywhere you could park if you decided to stop driving...
