I've never been to Boston, but have made several aborted attempts to attend a Red Sox game. Checked into tickets, flights, hotels, but never pulled the trigger.
Part of those plans usually included pulling up a map of Boston. In a lot of ways, it's laid out like a old European city.
Which means streets that go nowhere, and traffic patterns that leave one asking, "Where on earth would they go with snow?"
I don't envy them this week.
A strange anomaly has occurred the last three Winters in Milwaukee.
All but 2 of our snowstorms have occurred on weekends.
It's made for easier clean-up in that everyone in the neighborhood has had the time to get the chore done, but the big downside is that we haven't had a decent excuse to call work and take a snowday.
9 1/2 months out of the year, I love the climate, but all I'm asking for out of living here though December, January and February is a legitimate excuse to call into work, and Mother Nature has all but foiled that plan.
The only hope on the horizon is that Pitchers and Catchers report in ~10 days - the first sign of Spring.
