"Crippling and potentially historic" blizzard

[Blueberry]

We're lucky that we're not in the snowy area - but our rental house furnace died. Again. For the third time. And it's supposed to be 23 tonight Thankfully, we have gas logs and ceramic space heaters - so we will make do - but it's a PITA.

Sending warm thoughts to all who are digging out!

Woke up this morning to another 10-12 inches of snow on the ground. Thankfully, it's light and fluffy. DH is about to go out and snow blow. Although the travel ban was lifted, not much is open. All schools closed. The airport re-opened, but isn't really up and running until tonight. The T is running, but there's break downs and cancelled services on all of the subway and commuter lines. So far, the town with the highest snowfall in eastern MA is Hudson, where I used to teach, and where I go on Thursdays to provide counseling to a 5 adolescents at the high school. If they cancel for tomorrow, and we have the predicted 1-3 inches of snow on Friday, I predict I will have seen about 5 clients this week, on Monday. Thankfully, this is my "give back/retirement" job, so, I am not depending on it for support. Even if I had my own practice and was making the "big bucks," it would be hard to plan for this, as you can't control the weather.
Betting my friend won't meet me today as it's going to be 15 degrees F as the high. I will still be outside snow shoeing, maybe skiing.

Hope you're all dug out now, Crankin. I'm sure it was beautiful, but what a PITA.
