Vicinity might be ramping up their operations for fall / winter. There have been some steam leaks in places downtown where I have not seen them in a while. Could be related.

I got a video during one of the sloppy winter storms in the pre-pandemic era where a steam leak plus a giant slushy puddle on Tremont (near the old burying ground) created a rather Yellowstone worthy volcanic model.
