At last
 

A decent snow storm in the Boston area...

Just in time too --- I quit my job as of
last Friday.

Now, let it not melt... (Fat chance)

Yep. It's coming down in truckloads as I look out the window.
Windblown and especially Weston should be good this week.
Unfortunately it's not reaching very far north. Waterville
is getting only a few inches. Bretton Woods zip.

Yes, I measured 15".

Unfortunate, as we are planning to go to Stowe next week. It is
very fragile up there, and now they are calling for rain next Friday
(the forecast has been going back and forth between snow and rain for
a few days).

But I will have a great week of training here!

Where are y'all located? I didn't see anywhere a foot (even a
meteorological, pre-compression, foot) of snow in Boston or Cambridge
this morning.

Just west of Cambridge. The globe reported 18" in Cambridge,
if memory serves.

It was blowing around a lot, and was seriously fluffy.

Use it while you can, warms up a lot after tomorrow...

ah

I was thinking of trying to ski in City Dump Park, which has a
"sledding hill" in addition to the big, flat areas for the uncountably
many athletic fields. But maybe the Minuteperson trail in Arlington
might be a better bet.

Minuteman would have too many road crossing and is too flat for my taste.

As soon as I can get my wife and son moving I am heading to Weston.

I plan to go to Windblown tomorrow, before the truly hard thaw comes.
