And that means you'll have until 4 p.m. on Thursday to save your parking space, the one you've so arduously dug out (except in the South End and Bay Village, where space savers are never allowed).

French toast and fruit

Update, 12 p.m. Now snowing in Roslindale.

Here in the highlands along the Hyde Park frontier, we have just enough of a dusting to almost be pretty. But as Doctahdooley shows us, that's not reason to let all those French toast fixin's go to waste.

Rob Adams reported at 8:15 a.m.: Read more.

Empty bread shelves at one supermarket

Mary Ellen headed over to the West Roxbury Star Market this evening and, as you can see, was confronted with some pretty empty bread shelves in advance of Saturday's storm, which in the annals of New England storms, doesn't seem like it'll be a blockbuster or anything, but, you know, it's been like two years now since we've last gotten major snow, so God only knows how bad it'll get.

Looks like we have competition for fretting about whether or not we're really world class. The Chicago Sun-Times reports one city alderman (like one of our city councilors, only with more ald) is backing a pilot proposal to have city crews plow certain sidewalks rather than relying on recalcitrant property owners because that's just what a world-class city would do. Like Boston. Read more.
