Could somebody explain to me why the several towns and the state of MA failed to salt the roads this morning? I traveled through 7 towns on my way to work today, of those, Wincheseter, Lexington, Chelmsford and Westford got it right: the roads were bare and wet -- due to the highway departments salting the roads. However, the roads in Medford, Woburn, Burlington and Rt. 3 were covered in hard packed snow and ice. I'll repeat: Somebody should lose their job over this fiasco. I'm taking suggestions.

When we were in high school, we had to walk barefoot two miles uphill -- both ways -- in the snow, wearing barbed wire on feet for traction.

You had barbed wire? You lucky dog!! We had only the filed callous on our feet to aid our pilgrimage.

In all seriousness though - the intensity of squalls came out of nowhere. I doubt anyone was really expecting this much weather interfearance. We had some people come in just long enough to sit down, get up and go back home.

I have to say though - meterology - I'd love to have a job where I could be wrong 75% of the time and still get paid.
