Belated Blizzard Blogging
We arrived home tonight, only an hour or so late despite a blizzard which paralyzed much of the east coast and, to my daughters' jealous derision, prompted a pre-emptive two-day school cancellation. If you have to be snowbound, Cambridge, and especially the beautiful Charles Hotel, is a great place to be. We ventured out several times during the snowstorm--over two feet fell in Cambridge Saturday night and Sunday--and took pictures from time to time. Here are Harvard Square and the girls on Kennedy Drive at the height of the snowstorm; click to enlarge:
I thought this one offered a nice contrast; as always, click to enlarge:
Today was bright and sunny, an altogether beautiful winter day. My youngest daughter climbed a good-sized snow pile in the Yard. And, finally, the blizzard was over, but the digging out wasn't. There are cars under those piles of snow in the North End. I don't think they'll be going anywhere soon:
UPDATE: I forgot to say thanks to the Power Line readers who showed up for the public session of the Journalism/Blogging conference and stopped by to say Hello. A mystery was solved; one of them was the guy responsible for the "Thank Tony" ads. Thanks, too, to all of the readers who sent emails offering to buy me a beer in Boston. What with the conference, the snowstorm, and having two kids in tow, I wasn't able to take you up on your kind offers. But it's great to know that we have friends in faraway places.
