I seem to have picked a good time to travel: my train from New York was about 15 minutes late (both out of NY and into Boston), but the board had the following train as 70 minutes late, and the remaining southbound Amtrak trains canceled. We've had 4 or 5 inches of snow here (10-12 cm); New York City has had three times that, and is urging everyone to stay home even if their particular subway line is running.
This is looking like a pattern, albeit a weird one: last winter, two or three times I came up here, with massive amounts of snow in Philly, Baltimore, and/or Washington, and maybe some in New York, with not a flake here. Not so absolute this time: I went to sleep, and woke up, to the sound of snowplows, and there's enough snow for the wind to be blowing around. But I have boots, and warm clothes, and no real need to go out today.
Wednesday I head north; I believe there is some snow on the ground in Quebec. (If not, I will be wearing my boots anyhow, having decided to save weight and not bring other outdoor shoes.)
I hope the rest of you are managing to stay warm and dry.
