A peeved citizen complains in Roslindale:
Really mayor Walsh? Does it seem like a good idea to make employees report to work in these conditions? The T is running huge delays, roads in Rozzie are unplowded, sidewalks unshoveled, COURTS are closed but city hall is open. Not smart.

While most of her outdoor colleagues were busy with rulers and snow brushes and snowballs this morning, WCVB's Antoinette Antonio just stood in the snow and reported what she saw around her.
Antoinio, who arrived in Boston a few months ago from Albuquerque, explains her reticence to get up close and personal with the white stuff:
Why ... you already know what snow feels like don't you? Next you'll want me to pull out a ruler and/or make a snow angel? I'd never hear the end of it from @LokayWCVB

The City Council has stepped into a contract dispute between the Weather Channel and DirectTV, urging the two companies to settle a contract dispute that is frustrating DirectTV subscribers who would rather watch Jim Cantore than Harvey Leonard or Pete Bouchard.
The council yesterday unanimously approved a resolution by at-large Councilor Steve Murphy calling for a prompt end to the dispute.
Murphy called the Weather Channel "an invaluable national and local service" that "enables private citizens to make important decisions regarding their work, travel and recreation plans."

Roving UHub photographer Jonathan happened upon this quiet Cambridge street, about an hour into the storm:
No one had walked or driven down the street since it started, so it was pristine.

So move those cars off snow-emergency routes now, although towing may not actually start until 8 p.m.
No school for BPS kids tomorrow.
Darrel Daniel notes some good news in the storm for the mayor: He's canceled his trip to the National Conference of Mayors meeting in Washington, so he won't have to walk around with a Broncos jersey on.
