It's not so much that it's a good day to bike to work, as that it's a lousy day to try to get to work any other way.

On the other hand, it's definitely a great day to wear an Aloha shirt.

Aloha! I'm wearing one of mine right now. (But that's because it's Friday.)

huh. I should ask Chip how long it took him to get to work. (The streets weren't bad when he left, so in theory the buses should have been running fine. But somehow I suspect that theory doesn't work out too well in practice.)

Same amount of time as usual. The bus appeared to be discomfited by the snow in no way whatsoever.

However, the bus radio was full of various bits of snow-related eitage all over the MBTA.

Skiis might have worked, too. Cross country, of course. Or horse drawn sleigh...I've always wanted one of those.

I think the horses might have failed to cope with the water soluable driving skills being exhibited all around them. (Even what I saw from my window this morning failed to inspire confidence.)

water soluable driving skills

What a completely inspired turn of phrase!

Do you have studded tires on that? :-)

No, though it might not be a bad idea. Biking home was still pretty reasonable, though, apart from the dreadful traffic. I'm glad I didn't take the bus; the 80 might have been fine but I saw a disabled 88 on the way in and watched a 91 bus hit a telephone pole on my way home.

In case you're worried, the collision seems to have been worse for the pole than for the bus, and it appeared that everyone on the bus was OK.

Glad you weren't out during the white-out portion of the storm. (And glad the bus passengers were OK!)
