Ice not so nice
By adamg on Tue, 12/29/2015 - 8:32am
The first major snow of the season turned to ice and freezing rain, causing problems on local roads. Matt Allen shows us the scene on Clarendon Street in the Back Bay, where buses and cars got stuck.
Valerie Collanton reports:
Downtown is a mess. No sidewalks in #northend cleared.Traffic lights out on Congress/North Streets. Treacherous.
Jason shows us the fresh snow around 2 a.m. on his Somerville street:

Late December this thing
called Winter arrives like clockwork. Then, amazingly, in late March, it disappears!
MBTA fall on its face yet?

Some new looking articulated buses getting stuck
from route 39 - Forest Hills - Back Bay.

New? I don't think so
Those look like the same articulated buses they've been running on the 39 for several years now.
-- Signed, somebody who actually takes those buses from time to time.
So, getting stuck in 2" of snow is nothing new
for this design of bus?
The city fell this time??
So why was a major artery like Clarendon not clear & treated that all these buses got stuck?
Needed money for BPD detectives 28% pay hike
per arbitration. Or, the snow was a surprise - they were counting on warm ocean breezes to make it all rain.
Roads were surprisingly bad
Roads were surprisingly bad in Hyde Park/Milton today for only an inch of snow.
It's not the snow
It's the G-D slush!
I shoveled a little bit before heading out. This stuff was annoying to move. If this were fluffy snow, I would have cleared the same path in half the time. Of course, if this were fluffy snow, we'd probably have 6 inches of it, meaning the effort would have been the same.
Should be all melted away by
Should be all melted away by tomorrow morning... I hope.
