Snow reminds me yet again why I'm glad to be a renter with no car. I don't have to shovel anything!
Being a commuter helps too, even if you do have a car.
It's not the days where it's snowing that I mind walking, because if it's snowing it's usually warmer than the coldest days where it isn't (this last storm in MA excepted - absolutely freezing!).

What Frank said. One of my favorite things about being outside in the snow normally is the unexpected warmth, but this last storm? Brrrrrr.
Plus he has the leather cuff of the wrong side of the tracks.
Picking up the slack for Ryan Atwood then.
When I lived in snowy places, I didn't drive. Shovelling out a parking spot would make me insane. Or insane-r.
This is brilliant. I take it Boston doesn't do the snow emergency thing, where you have to clear your car off the streets so the plows can get through, or your car is towed.I am not sure. I don't live in Boston, proper. I think though, what they do is have snow removal times, and until then, people use that unofficial save-your-own-spot method.
Sheesh, your mayor is all proactive. Every snow here, the lawnchairs, dinette chairs, really ugly upholstered chairs and various other unidentified items are broken out and every single night they've got some police spokesperson on the local news telling people not to do that blahblahblah, but they don't do anything beyond that.
I think last year, there were problems. People from Southie know you don't take someone else's reserved space. But the yuppies move in, see the chair in the spot, move the chair, and then yuppies get murdered. And fair enough, says I, even though except for about two years, I have always had a driveway.
Because this...
Wow, people putting stuff in the road to hold a parking spot while they were out would drive me batshit.
But I shovelled out the!*&$*@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spot! It took two hours! It is right in front of my house/apartment! Go shovel your own !*&$*@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spot.
See? Bitter.
Yeah. Very bitter. And see some of these neighborhoods have no driveways, no garages, no parking lots. They predate the auto, or at least predate it being widely used by city dwellers. The yards are the size of postage stamps, and there's hardly anywhere to put the snow. I can understand why people come to blows. If you lose your own spot, there might actually be no where else to park, not even a new spot you could shovel out.
Tom, how is the toe, other than tired from waiting two hours in the waiting room?
I wonder what the life expectancy is for Colombian mimes.
Feels better than it did a couple of days ago, I can walk now without much discomfort.
Have moved from waiting in the waiting room to waiting in the exam room.
Apparently you shouldn't have the mouthpiece of the phone anywhere near your torso when you wail "Make the meeting stop!"
Ah, well.
Poor Tom! Poor Tom's toe!

Ooops?
