As you may be aware, much of the Northeast United States was pummeled with snow.
Here in Cambridge, we just got a little over a foot of snow. But we still have the snow from last month. And then there was the wind.
Last night, I did some shoveling and my left arm is still sore.
Still, it could have been much worse.
Had I lived in either Fall River or New Bedford, I would have faced more than 3 feet of snow as the two southeastern Massachusetts communities received 41 and 37 inches of snow, respectively.
Providence, Rhode Island also received exactly 3 feet of snow. The 28.6 inches it received during the Blizzard of '78 now seems paltry by comparison.
As for me, with Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey's state of emergency order, I worked from home yesterday.
I will be working from home again today. While the snow has ceased to fall, the MBTA is operating on Sunday service. I am sure there will be residual delays for the rest of the week as was the case last month.
I'll make my way to the office tomorrow. But for today I don't want to take any chances. I am at a stage in my life where I do not want to rush carrying my laptop and other stuff knowing full well that I would not be on time for work no matter how early I left.
Less is more.
Well, maybe except when it comes to snow.
