Reporter won't stand on seawall to show us nature's fury
And reports she has yet to get hit by a flying rock, unlike the obviously tougher anchorwoman (toward the end of the segment). Oh, Shelby Scott, where have you gone?

Snopocalypse Now
Gribley posted a time-lapse series of the view out his JP window overnight (used under this Creative Commons license).
Steve Garfield measured the snow in JP live on NECN, via his cell phone.
Fotosqrrl captured a guy sweeping dirty off a snowbank on School Street with a broom.

News is made on Twitter?
Just saw one of the most substantial exchanges I've ever seen on Twitter:
rdsahl Gov Patrick: WashPost blog floats your name for HHS. Are you in the mix? Would you take if offered. Thanks.
(and, about an hour later...)
MassGovernor @rdsahl As the Governor has said countless times, he is staying put and running for re-election. - Kyle Sullivan, Press Secretary [approx. 2 pm]
I'm struck by this in several ways:

The news never stops - not even when flames erupt in the newsroom
R.D. Sahl (yes, that R.D. Sahl) is all a-Twitter and reports this afternoon:
Yikes! Studio light spits flames. Taping interrupted briefly. All back to normal with a lingering odor. The news never stopped.

News you can use: It's cold!
NECN informs us of this fact:
... In the morning hours around Copley Square, only those who needed to be out and about actually were doing so. Runners who typically start their morning with an wakeup jog chose otherwise. There was very little hustle or bustle. ...
And, yes, of course they interviewed a couple of utility guys glad to be able to warm up by going down a manhole.
Ed. Note: Last night, Boston School Superintendent Carol Johnson robo-called us to remind us to bundle the kidlet up this morning. I wonder how much that call cost.

Hey, remember last week's icemegeddon?
Andy reports from points west - and tries hard to contain his ire at Boston media:
... Driving through Ashby and Ashburnham today was like driving through a post-hurricane scene, only with snow. The tops of 60% of the trees are simply gone along Route 119. I'm a little disappointed that the Boston Globe dedicated only one headline to this crippling storm, despite the hundreds of thousands who lost power, most for days, the multiple deaths reported, and total devastation that has gone through this area (not to mention some jerks conning those without power by posing as utility employees). Watching the NECN or any of the network stations, you would think nothing is happening in this portion of the world since last Friday. ...
