Julie and I are in Boston since an hour and it's freezing cold and was snowing earlier! First of all we will go out and buy boots, scarfs and gloves. We saw the weather forecast in the hotel lobby and they announced more snow for the weekend. Well, it will really be an experience. LOL
IB, beachmom and FedUp, we will see you tomorrow morning, I guess? If you room isn't ready and you will store your luggage in our room, we're in 1266.
OK, off to Macy's now.

right now it is 33 and the wind chill is 24 in Virginia Beach, and they call this the south (haha).
This is the forecast they show on the weather channel, of course you can never trust those weathermen, I do remember us getting a hurricane and the weather guys were hurricane what hurricane, they got caught off guard bigtime.
Boston forecast: (so they say)
Sat Dec 9 Partly Cloudy 41°/31° 10% 41°F Sun Dec 10 Sunny 51°/36° 10% 51°F Mon Dec 11 Mostly Cloudy 46°/35° 10% 46°F Tue Dec 12 Mostly Cloudy 41°/37° 10%

4. All the local channels said very cold today |
|
But a warmup starts tomorrow.
This is not uncommon for the winter here. (The Atlantic Ocean giveth and it taketh away.)
It will be cold, plan on it. Once it gets dark, and that means 4:30 pm, it gets cold. Plan accordingly and bring coats and dress in layers.

6. It is already so much better than last year, in terms of the weather |
|
Last year, about this time on Friday, I was busy having a heart attack and an aneurysm because people were flying into Boston through a major winter storm. Every single flight was re-routed or delayed or otherwise impacted. Whome wound up at the airport at 2:30 in the morning to do a pickup.
Believe me, this year is a piece of cake compared to last. (I think I will survive this year. When the surprise snowstorm hit last year, OMG, I almost had a complete and irreversible freakout.)

8. I remember reading about the flights in and the horrific weather. |
|
I am hoping for cold, but snow less weather- at least while everyone has to fly in.

7. Thanks, Europegirl! I'll take note of the room number. |
|
Hey, maybe I should even get a little practice with my very bad German. Looking forward to meeting you and your daughter.

10. Whatever the predictions--- make sure |
|
you bring a good coat/jacket, sweater, gloves and whatever else to prepare for cold. Even if it warms up there are a lot of windy areas in Boston--especially near Fanuiel Hall. It can be 40 and feel like 10.

12. You're so right about the wind! |
|
We left the hotel and the wind almost killed us. It felt like we weren't wearing anything at all. Well, you and Tay are right about the warm clothes but those are difficult to find in the south of France. But we got what we needed at Macy's and are better equipped now.
