Like a Monday

Having taken my own advice and read a couple of books in front of the fireplace, I can face the upcoming week with equanimity.  The latest winter storm gave us a light brush on Sunday with about 4 inches of new snow.  Unfortunately for Boston and the rest of New England, the hand of winter storm Marcus will rest a little more heavily.   More than the snow, the relentless cold is grinding spirits and heating budgets.  We have not been above freezing here on the NCR in several weeks.  The forecast is for the coldest weather yet to hit us later this week.  When your high for the day is below 0, it is definitely time to think about palm trees and funny drinks with umbrellas in them.
