You hear the trunks of the trees crack with the cold.  The ice has encased all three dimensional objects down to the tiniest detail.

Schools to the north of the Massachusetts Arctic Circle, otherwise known as the -I-90 -- I-495 intersection have closed. 

Below the line there is a "2 hour delay." 

The salt trucks are dumping away up and down the roads, throwing their pellets out, windshields be damned!!

There is a difference twixt a tough skinned New Englander and a suicidal driver.

I think I will take a two hour delay myself this morning.
