Ok. Snow in Boston... I am from Upstate New York. I am used to being snowed in my house under twenty feet of snow for a week at least twice a year.
/div>
But at least when we got that much snow, it was properly taken care of (usually).
That is just not the case in Boston however.
As soon as there is half a foot of snow here, its all over.
/div>
The City should just post a big sign somewhere that says:
"If it snows here...YOU ARE FUCKED."
The fine print should read as follows:
As soon as you see one flake of snow, just go inside and stay there until it melts because we sure as hell will not be attempting to remove it in any way, shape or form.
As for your car. It WILL be towed. Just sit tight and in a few days you can get it back...if you pay out your ass for it. And if you can't afford the costs, don't worry. It will be kept until you can pay it at a charge of a million dollars a day.
You can try to walk to the T, but you will fall, because we have never heard of salting the roads and sidewalks. And everyone will laugh. Enjoy the snow.
So needless to say, I had to take the T to work (falling in route) after I spent a good portion of my day digging my car out of a mess of snow just so that I could not make it up the icy hill of my parking lot...because I had to.
Especially on a nice Sunday when the perfect thing to do would be to fall asleep with a stock-pile of food by your bed (preferably you will have a mini fridge for a night stand). So when you do decide to wake up two simple arm movements will get you a pint of ice cream and the remote to turn the t.v. on.
Then the day could be filled with all sorts of yummy food and entertainment all from the comfort of your bed.
That would be the life.
Unfortunately there is no such forecast for me today. I had to get up and do loads of work before going to..you guessed it..work for nine hours.
So I got out of bed today..because I had to. Or else you know what I would be doing :)
