it's snowing in New England and traffic is at a dead stop

[shoemak38]

and I still have to wait 28 weeks until our vacation on St John

My daughter left downtown Boston two hours ago and she's not even close to home (a normal 35-minute ride).

But we will be on STJ 3 weeks from tomorrow !

I live 6.7 miles from work and it took me about an hour and a half.

I had 2 flights out of BOS cancelled on me in the last 24 hours (should have used all that airport time to write my trip report! )

I am here in PVD for a meeting that was scheduled for tonight. The meeting was postponed and I don't know how or when I will get home. Traffic outside my hotel room window is moving at about 3 MPH.

Anyone ant to get together tonigh to look at STJ photos. Oh yeah, how would we get anywhere??????

I wish I had a painkiller.

Aw, jeez, Maryanne! Please post when she gets there!!!!!!!
I told a guy from Exeter, NH who placed an order today that I was homesick for my little town. Now, not so much.
Sorry, everyone. Please stay home and safe.

It wasn't snowing yet when I left work, but the schools and daycare were all closing at 1:00, so I had to go. It was crazy traffic-wise on the way home - rush hour in the early afternoon.

I'm originally from upstate NY and this is bad even by those standards! If these weather patterns continue, it's going to be a LONG winter. When will it be March already???

it took me over two hours from newport to east providence and from what the news is saying the highways are at a standstill.

Good luck you guys,we slipped by this storm & maybe Sunday's also

[Maryanne]

3 hours into the trip and still in front of the Atrium. People are getting out and pushing the cars that do not have four -wheel drive.

Sounds like the blizzard of 78. Everyone taken by surprise and the snow coming down so fast....

[Maryanne]

Actually, Ruth, aside from the travel, it's been really lovely. No traffic on Fountain Street. Just snow falling into the river. I've been opening the back door just to hear the sound of the quiet. The house is absolutely silent.

Took me two and a half hours to get home today from work, nine miles. I kept thinking about the person behind me having to stare at my "I'd rather be on St. John" license plate frame saying to himself, "Me Too".

Great images. Maryanne, we might require some neighborhood photos tomorrow.
How about the whole family in front of your favorite neighbor's house? That would be fun.

[Maryanne]

My favorite neighbor that's never home?

I will take some pictures, though. It's really beautiful.

Caitlin's in Wellesley now. 4 hours and counting.

She says that little cars with no four-wheel drive are unable to move and people are having to get out and push cars out of the way to get by. Some man with a megaphone was in a car behind her and yelling at her to get out and push. Little 100-pound Caitlin.
