The National Weather Service is just out with a full-fledged WINTER STORM WARNING between 9 p.m. Sunday and 1 a.m., Tuesday.
ACCUMULATIONS...SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 8 TO 14 INCHES EXPECTED ... SNOW WILL FALL HEAVY AT TIMES MONDAY MORNING AT 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR...IMPACTING THE MORNING RUSH HOUR.
And so, yes, of course, the French Toast Alert level is at high.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

Why don't we all live in Miami or New Orleans? Seriously, I understand that Boston and New York are ports and all, but the people who have money don't want to move everything down there? We can't put Wall Street in Miami? We can't put the government in New Orleans?

Last winter I was in Gulf Shores for a conference in January and thinking how nice it was to be out of the snow and able to walk barefoot on the beach in the middle of winter. Then we had to end a round of golf early because animal control was trying to lure an alligator out of a water hazard and I was ready to go home and put on my boots.

The last time I was there in April it was 90 degrees and intensely humid. It was like an August day in Boston--kind of a nice novelty but no way could I deal with that for six months a year. I'll take snow any day. Yeah, even ten f'ing inches on top of the 25 we already have.

Have you seen this month's National Geographic? My favorite quote was from a Miami-area mayor - "I tell people buy high, sell low."
I knew this was reality, but if you have any familiarity with South Florida, and have a look at those maps (and even the photos of a recent "King Tide") it's a real eye-opener. Or at least should be. On a different note, it struck me how many people owned up to having short term outlooks for short term gain - the hell with everyone thereafter.
P.S.: I want federal legislation right now that says that if these people in Miami, etc. want to keep building condos in areas that we know will be underwater before the end of their mortgages, the rest of us aren't paying for that shit when the inevitable happens. I can understand some support for existing structures, but the new construction in these areas has to be stopped.

After 40+ years of living in Boston, I finally left (New England). Just couldn't take it anymore. The winters are long, cold, snowy, stormy, and icy and people are aggressive and abrasive. It takes a toll on your quality of life. Also, the summers are so quick and most of it is hot and muggy.

Aggressive and abrasive? Sort of describes your inevitably negative comments here. Also, you seem to talk a hell of a lot about the current state of the city for someone who's claims to be gone (10+ years by some of your own previous accounts).
Btw...just where did you move that is so boring that you need to hang out on this hyperlocal site all the time pissing in the cheerios? Please consider sharing your sunny brilliance with your current neighbors instead.

In anticipation of the storm, maybe all the complainers around here can spend today filling web comment boards with complaints about how cities/towns/everyone else in the region is terrible about plowing and shoveling, how schools are terrible for canceling, or not canceling, school, etc., so that tomorrow we don't have to deal with all their whining. People are still kvetching about last week's storm to a degree that you'd assume they never saw snow before!
