New England: Severe weather / DOOM Thread (TOMATO STATUS - OUT)

VIA SCANNER MBTA CHANNEL:

PROTESTERS MAY ATTEMPT TO INTERFERE WITH THE BRUINS GAME TODAY

I don't think this is going to end well for the protesters...

Apparently they hit Harvard Square again last night... missed it due to all the doom here at GLP

Interesting... not releasing to the media anything about foul play. The scanner traffic suggests otherwise.

Reminds me of this case in Taunton where someone shot a dude then left his body on the tracks hoping to conceal evidence.

I guess that explains why I heard officers dropping off "items" at Sturdy Memorial Hospital... ugh gross.

:puke:

When the time capsule gets open maybe we will find out if they really wore Gay 3 cornered hats in those days.

Protests in Boston are getting pretty lively... lots of activity.

Units dealing with it have switched to citywide emergency channels... State Police on scene.

Crowd near Martha Road numbering somewhere around 600.

Eh, stupid protesters....

As long as they stay away from Weston

Going there for a catered Christmas party tonight.

Only a true Weston'r would hire a complete kitchen staff for less than a dozen ppl. FTW!

That sure beat my plan for tonight's dinner: Hot pockets and a 6 pack.

I've been on the road too much lately to buy any real food... the trick is to drink the 6 pack first, then the hot pockets are DELICIOUS!!!

After the Hot pocket you can watch Bill O'Reilly.

Well I'll be landing in Boston very soon and then driving home from Logan. I'll take pics if I see anything worth while.

Welcome home.

Thanks!!! So happy to be home. I didn't see anything in my travels from the airport to my house....regarding protests.

Incoming!

See anything in your light polluted area simple?

No : (

But I also didn't put much effort into it. I could've tried harder, but it was a work night and I have a lot of make up work to do today. Normally I would've stayed up til 4am to see some, but I had to do the adult thing, blah, and go to bed. Lol!

Well that's to bad :(

We saw a few. All before 10:30

This really bothers me. These are little kids...kindergarten through fourth grade. Shame.

Ho Ho No: School bans Santa from winter concert

A Massachusetts school that advertises itself as an “inclusive community” banned Santa Claus from its annual Christmas concert in the hometown of Harvard University after someone complained.

“I am writing to you today to inform you of a change in our concert series this winter,” wrote Principal Jennifer Ford in a letter to parents of the Peabody School in Cambridge. “Our first through fourth grade concert as well as our kindergarten concert will not include a visit from Santa Claus this year.”

The principal did not explain why Santa was banned from the December 12 concert.

Several Storms Likely Threaten Area In Next Two Weeks

There are 4 storms or weather systems which will impact the eastern half of the USA from now until the end of the year. I’m not going to attempt to nail down the timing of these because the final two are so far out. The first one is the remnants of the California storm from last week and will bring some light rain to the area Tuesday night. The second one will likely pass out to sea south of our area over the weekend, but will need to be watched. The final two will occur sometime from about Christmas Eve through the 29th.

The GFS loop of storms below takes us to Christmas Day. The purple areas represent rain or snow.

Might still have a chance at seeing some meteors tonight! Just now. Screen shot!

I hope we get buried!!

For the decades I have been alive and living in Massachusetts, more than any other part of the country......

IF you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes and it will change.

I remember distinctly the night before the Blizzard of 78. All the weathermen were predicting 6-8 INCHES. I woke up to 6+ FEET. Though one did say it could be worse, Don Kent, the KING of the weathermen who had a better record than even the new technology of today which is less accurate than the Farmer Almanac.
