Thoughts during a shoveling break, to make sure I am rested enough to comply with the ordinance:

Have you noticed that MA public officials always solemnly advise:

“During periods of heavy snowfall, people should avoid driving if they can; build in extra time; consider public transportation*.” Do we really need them to tell us this? Are New Englanders that oblivious? I’d get it if we were in DC!

*As if it worked well enough to count on.
