Massive storm builds by the hour
Two storms converged at ‘perfect’ spot
Warnings heard, a hush falls over Boston during storm
Amid the turmoil, Patrick is calming voice of caution

I wasn't necessarily against it; I'm just angry at the way he did it, and that it was made a crime. He could have just pleaded and asked, not put out an empty threat left to arbitrary enforcement.

Well, it is Massachusetts.
I must admit I was shocked when I tried to open my door this morning. Literally had to dig out.

As you can see, I'm one of the lucky ones.
And we are still under the travel ban?

NEXT DAY UPDATES:
"Monster snowstorm ravages New England; Travel resuming as Patrick lifts ban; but outages still a plague" by Brian MacQuarrie | Globe Staff, February 10, 2013
Pummeled by one of the worst winter storms in state history, much of Massachusetts spent Saturday digging out, waiting for power, and navigating a snow-shrouded landscape that proved both pristinely beautiful and savagely cruel.
Two people died and two were injured in Boston because of carbon-monoxide poisoning linked to the storm, which dumped up to 30 inches of snow on the state. Hundreds of coastal residents were evacuated from the North Shore to Cape Cod, and more than 400,000 people in Massachusetts awoke without power Saturday.
Begrudgingly but steadily, conditions improved throughout the day as power slowly returned and traffic-free streets became cross-country ski tracks. Governor Deval Patrick lifted the statewide travel ban at 4 p.m., 24 hours after imposing the first such prohibition since the deadly Blizzard of ’78....

SECOND DAY UPDATES:
Forgive me, readers, because the agenda-pushing press has really put me in a rage this morning.
Not only did the AmeriKan media underreport the amount of snowfall up here in their glistening coverage, they TOLD ME RAIN TODAY and I HAVE ALREADY SHOVELED an INCH as of 9 a.m. -- with it STILL FALLING HARD! So the GREAT BLIZZARD of 2013 IS NOT EVEN OVER YET!
Enjoy the slop, readers:
"Region scrambles to resume its routines today" by Brian Ballou and Chelsea Conaboy | Globe Staff, February 10, 2013
The region began digging out from a historic storm under a bright-blue sky Sunday, as crews worked to clear roadways and restore power to the thousands of homes still without it. But the real test could come Monday as people return to workweek routines.
Actually, looking like not.
Side streets throughout Boston and surrounding communities remained snow-covered and choked off by plows trying to clear major streets. Many schools were closed Monday, and the day’s weather could bring another twist. Rain could weigh down the already-heavy snow and cause local flooding where drains are blocked.
It's snowing here, and honestly, I'm tired of the slanted coverage when it comes to my weather.
“Our expectation is to have people resume their ordinary schedules,” Governor Deval Patrick said....
Actually, I think I'm staying right here, guv.
