carwreck.com: around Boston harbor...

I ran over to work in Eastie today to pick up some calcium chloride for my sidewalk here in Charlestown. We're luck enough to have a plowing contractor in the warehouse next to our office so there's a nice huge pile of salt I can pinch from: I took a five gallon buckets worth. I think that should last me all winter.

I spoke with some coworkers who filled me on on how they fared during the snowstorm. Apparently, the Pilots made the call to close the harbor early on Saturday morning and, thankfully, our guys didn't have to go out and get beaten to death in the heavy seas. By Sunday morning the NOAA weather buoy which is off Boston Harbor stopped reporting sea conditions once it hit twenty-seven foot seas. It couldn't take the beating apparently.

Ships started moving again early Monday morning as the home heating oil, natural gas, gasoline and shipping containers started pouring into Boston Harbor once again.
