~:[CH6 - Day 40]:~ Survival ... Just Survival
Everyone knew what was coming yesterday. Two of our reservations for today canceled last night with the third rescheduling this morning. However, I knew we needed to make the most of it despite trying to take Southern Californians out just before a blizzard in the middle of a storm. It was snowing and the streets were pretty empty, but it was slowly getting colder as the day progressed. We played at the Public Gardens and Boston Commons as they enjoyed the snow. We didn't end up with a snowman because it was dry snow, but they partook in the Boston Common snowball fight and enjoyed a short trek through the park. When looking at the weather report, I knew it would get bad at 2pm and it was right on schedule as the snow turned horizontal and you could barely walk through the snow. The winds picked up reaching 50mph gusts and the storm officially was declared a blizzard. We watched the last few hours of the storm through the window as the predicted 14" in Boston was matched plus a bit more according to the last news report. However, a group still wanted to get dinner out, so we braved the winds and made it to one of the places still opened near our hotel. Today was nice as we rested and caught up on work, but it was a little sad to miss out on a few things we had planned. The seniors dealt with it though and made the most of the day and I was glad that they enjoyed the time that they had outside. Yes, we Southern Californians survived the first blizzard in two years in Boston and hoping that we can also survive tomorrow, as while the storm has passed, the bitter cold still remains. That is definitely bone chilling. Today was survival ... just survival.
