For those of our readers who live
outside New England, please think of the rest of us over the weekend as we face a
second major blizzard in two weeks (not to mention several more "lesser" storms in between). To say we are experiencing "cabin fever" in Greater Boston is a gross understatement. It's more like
"10,000 square foot single family mansion with 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths fever". To date this season, Boston has received 79.5 inches of snow—that's the equivalent of one young Red Sox pitching prospect (
Henry Owens 6'6"). We need just 28.2 more inches to top the
all-time record set during the 1995-6 winter. We've used 70, 051 tons of salt to make our roads safe—and hardly any annoying environmentalists have made a peep. So, if you think about a New England friend this weekend, be sure to send them a supportive email or tweet—assuming they have electricity.
