THAT was a blizzard. We lived in Winthrop. You could pick up fresh fish in the street near the water. We WALKED through the tunnel to see a movie in Boston. Winthrop is a peninsula, so when the governor closed the roads it only took one cruiser at each of two entrances/exits.

I worked for First National Bank of Boston. The data center staff in Dorchester were trapped and raided the officers’ dining room to feed the staff. If I remember correctly, the bank was closed for FOUR DAYS.
