This is the scene just past 8am in Newton, MA this morning. I don’t know if today’s storm officially qualifies as a nor’easter, but according to J’s measurement, we got 5 1/2 new inches of snow since last night. (That’s in addition to the 10 inches Newton received in Thursday night’s non-nor’easter.)
As for me, this tried and true dog-walking outfit is what I’ll be wearing at today’s Patriots game against the New York Jets at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. Yes, J and I are going to a football game in this weather. The current forecast says the snow will change to sleet then rain, so I have disposable ponchos stashed in the pockets of my Gore-tex shell. Given how much I paid for tickets to see the white-hot, perpetually sold-out Pats, there’s never been a question of whether we’d go to the game, simply a question of how we’d weather it. Go Pats!

I’ll be thinking of you — and maybe looking for this outfit on the TV screen from the heated hotel bar?

I doubt if we were on TV, but watching the game in a bar sounds wonderful! Because of the weather, the public transit commute was a NIGHTMARE. The train that usually arrives at the stadium an hour before home games got us there about halfway into the second quarter, after multiple delays & a stint of standing in a rainy, slush-soaked parking lot waiting for a connecting train.
In other words, by the time we got to the GAME, we already felt we’d been to hell & back. Now that we’re home & dry, we’re looking forward to watching next week’s game in the dry, warm comfort of home.

Hi Lorianne
If it’s anything like here (Phila) you
can either GO TO the game or SEE the game.
I usually opt for the latter
