Oh, you meant no snow this calendar year–I was going to say, how did Boston get spared the big storm before Christmas?

> Jeebus, I’m lucky if the plow bothers with my street _once_. Occasionally you can find my neighbors and I _shoveling the street_. Like a block party, without the fun. And it’s not like I live in the middle of nowhere, my street connects to R60.

The plows have not come down my street at all this week…as in, yesterday’s snowfall is still blanketing the street. Even the garbage trucks wouldn’t come down here yesterday.
